All we need is just a little patience

By -
I am normally a fairly patient person.  I've been congratulated and even told that I'm admired for the amount of patience I routinely demonstrate.  But waiting to hear from the doctor on whether or not I need surgery to fix my thumb is driving me fucking bananas and I only got back from the MRI 90 minutes ago, lol! 

I don't want surgery cause 1) it'll hurt; and 2) I've no sick or vacation leave to use and can't afford the time off surgery will require; and 3) even if I did, who in their right mind wants to use vacation time to recover from surgery; and 4) I know rehab follows surgery, they havent' said it but I know it; and 5) I know from previous surgical procedures that anesthesia is NOT my friend.   

But even more than I don't want surgery, I don't want a fucked up thumb.  The past week has shown me how important that fat little digit and it's inherent opposability really is.  You don't realize how much you use your thumb, especially on your non-dominant hand, until you can't.  I wanna be able to wash my hair and pull my panties up without hurting.

Whatever smart-ass comment your thinking right now about how I hurt my thumb in the first place... shove it.

I don't want it but I'll get it if the doctor calls and says I need it.  Now I just gotta wait for the call.....

GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED! OUR WINNER IS ANITA POWERS and I write romance, erotica, suspense, noir and whatever piece of fiction grabs my attention and demands to be written. You probably already knew that, didn't ya? Well, I bet you don't know that... 1) my blog started as an online journal in September 2010; 2) for at least the first year my daughter Casey was my only reader/follower and she'd hound me for a new post when I fell behind; 3)  the post that has gotten the most views, ever, was "EROTICA BLOG DAY" - I have the sauciest followers - but my clean romances sell better; 4) I often draft posts while sitting in my underwear in front of the tv, snacking [who doesn't really? isn't that why they developed the internet];  5) but I imagine myself sitting at an antique desk in a beautiful den with a glass of wine at my elbow - in my underwear.  TELL ME A SECRET IN THE COMMENTS BELOW FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A $10 AMAZON GIFT CARD (don't ...

Though nearly forty, she has little experience with popular music and Carter McAlister enjoys introducing her to what he considers the essentials:   He reached in for another cookie. The silence was contemplative and comfortable. She inclined her head. “I didn’t notice you had music playing. Who is this?” “You’re pulling my leg, right?” She shook her head and grabbed a cookie. “This is Patsy Cline.” “Her voice is beautiful. She manages to sound both melancholy and hopeful.”       ♪♫♪ The woman singing had a powerful voice, and courtesy of...
