Let me start by saying that I have been having excruciating pain in my right arm for 2 months.
Well, I finally got to see a Dr. about my arm.
Turns out that the last Dr.
(whom I am no longer seeing) was totally off
about me just having tendonitis.
(due to Insurance Co. policy I had to wait 30 days after changing Dr's to see a new one or I would have to foot the bills)
The Specialist that I saw on Friday told me that it's Nerve Damage
and with continued use and no treatments other that Advil and Ice I would have lost use of my arm in about 6 months.
This also explains why Advil,Tylenol, Aleve and ice were having no effect on my pain.
I am going to have a nerve block (epidural is closest to compare) once a week
till otherwise told. Yee haw, get to lose use of my arm anyway but hopefully it will be recoverable.
Anyway,
I went to the Hosp. for x-rays.
While sitting there waiting to go into the
X-ray room,
I had some KOOKY lady sit down next to me and tell me that "she wanted to("should") blow herself up and kill everyone around her, and if it's good enough for 10 year olds it ought to be good enough for her"
All I could think was, aawww crap I knew I shouldn't have left my gun in the truck.
(I have a CCW permit.)
(Luby's Cafe in Texas running through my mind)
I quickly stated that I didn't think that it was a good idea and she should not,
and then I repeated myself, a little louder.
Choosing my words carefully.
30 seconds later they called my name and I jumped up and moved as fast as I could get my feet moving.
She was not there when I was done. So I left.
When I got home, the reality of the situation dawned on me .
I really should have gotten security but I didn't take her seriously as she was all gowned up and obviously had no weapons.
She was hispanic in her mid 50's I'd guess.
(I am hispanic as well so not meant as a slam)
A different time and place, and I don't think that I would have disregarded the comment.
Though now I do regret not, at least getting an "Overseer" and then letting them handle it.
So, what would you armchair commandos have done?
