I hate that my old job gave me a check for $400, coincidentally enough on a week I only got half a paycheck because I was in the hospital, confirmed that it was money I was supposed to receive because it was vacation time I never used (and never knew about) only to get a phone call this morning and be told they over payed me and I was only supposed to get $150 AFTER I've already spent some money.
They're going to attempt to withdraw the funds now and send me a physical check, which will put me into overdraft. The amount that I could wind up potentially overdrafting is almost what the check is which they claim they will pay me back for, so what is the point??
And the bank, citibank (cunts) told me there is nothing I can do to protect myself from this.
A fucking random hassle I didn't need. It was easier being broke for another week. Ugh...

Dear Key Food deli guys,

German potato salad isn't just potato salad without your vile Miracle Whip. It's got vinegar, bacon, fried onion and it's served WARM!

Thank you.

I don't know what to say other than I understand. I've only had surgery a few times, but each time you go in all you think about are the horror stories, the E.R. episode's you saw. And in my case, my wife works in a hospital so she's literally seen it all. it's really scary, especially when they're wheeling you in.

All I can say is try to do what you can to relax, and concentrate on the fact that statistically you'll probably be perfectly fine. And be grateful it's nothing in the abdominal cavity! That's always the really scary stuff.

I'd say break a leg, but, well...

Ooh yeah.. you're right. I'm really happy that its nothing in the abdominal cavity. So far, my biggest fear is being sedated to the point where I'm unable to speak but not enough so that I end up feeling everything. Happily, its just my ankle, I could, in theory, live without that. At least any lawsuit would pay for some awesome prosthesis.

Thanks for the support and the tip. I'll close my eyes when they're wheeling me in. I'm going for a pre-operative appointment tomorrow. What do they do to you?

I think it differs depending on circumstances and what they're doing to you. I had a double hernia op when I was 5 that vaguely remember, major hand surgery after almost ripping my hand off at age 18 (major surgery, 104 stitches, massive cast for months!), then recently an umbilical hernia surgery, almost emergency.

Pre-op a day or so before is probably mostly examining the site, and taking any x-rays and the like, and telling you what to do the night before (mostly, don't eat or drink after midnight). Pre-op on the day of is mostly shaving the site of the surgery.

Good luck, and try to concentrate that most surgery comes out for the best.

In gym class when I was around 16 or so. Good old Shore Regional High School.

It was volleyball week. I was always good at volleyball and loved playing it, so I was an enthusiastic participant. After we were done, the gym teachers would always have the tall kids take the volleyball nets down because they were too high up for the teachers to reach. The were two nets strung across the gym - one pole in the middle, and then each net being secured on the other end to the wall by a metal hook in the shape of a question mark. We took the nets down by jumping up to try to snag the steel line the net was strung. You had to snag that line, then jerk it off the hook.

I was about 6' at the time, about the minimum height required. So I had to jump really high to snag the line, it was like 7 1/2 feet up the wall.

I jumped, missed. Jumped again, miss. Jump, caught the line, but couldn't snag it off the hook.

Jump, caught the line, tried to yank it off the hook. Hey, wait a minute. Why aren't my feet touching the ground? And why is my arm way up there?

Right about then, about 3 seconds after it happened and I was puzzling over why my feet weren't touching the floor, the pain hit. I started screaming my head off. It turns out that when I tried to yank the line off the hook, the line snagged again, but this time it also rebounded. I guess it had a bit of elasticity to it. And the rebounding yanked my hand back towards that hook. Gravity then pulled my body down...straight onto the hook.

It entered the side of my hand about 1/2 inch above where the pinky finger juts out from your hand. It went in about 1/4 inch (into muscle and what not). The hook exited around the wrist joint. It was stuck in nice and tight enough to support my entire weight, about 3" off the ground.

One of the gym teachers and a big burly kid got under and me and held me up to take my weight off it. I don't remember them taking me off, I don't know if I blocked it out of my head or I blacked out for a second. I remember them carrying me somewhere, then laying me down. When an EMT got there I started babbling to him not to tell my mother, because she was the hysterical type and would really freak out. They were worried for awhile at how much blood I lost, but I guess they saved enough in the end :-)

Had a long surgery with a world class hand specialist, followed by tons of therapy and a ginormous cast. The scar is still there, and I have some light nerve damage which means that hand constantly has a pins and needles feeling, and isn't very sensitive to heat or cold.

Circulation was bad for the first year. I remember running in gym class in the winter time afterwards, and a buddy of mine yelled his off all of a sudden pointing at me. "Mike, dude, your hand! Your freakin' hand is blue!". And it was true, it was a deep smurfy blue from the cold and bad circulation.

Circulation is much better now :-)

Northridger, Holy shit, dude! Ouch. The blue hand might have been kindof cool though.

Bklyn9, thanks :-D I take it you had the c-section anyway? I keep thinking if I went through labor I can go through this but I'm not so sure. With labor there's something else to focus on, you can't say "fuck this, I'm out of here"

I hate that its time to get ready to go to my pre-op appointment at the hospital. I'm scared to death and they're only going to be taking some blood and making me pee in a cup. How am I going to be next monday?!

By the way, I know I'm being a huge bitch about all of this but thanks to all of you for your kind words, encouragement and well wishes. If something goes wrong, I don't want to be kept on life support so you can all have whatever organs you might need from me. I'd stay away from the lungs and kidneys though...

The testing went well. I found out that I'm going to get the drug that killed Michael Jackson! How cool is that? The hospital is beautiful, it didn't freak me out walking in (the last couple of times I've had to enter a hospital I've had major panic attacks because of memories from my dad's illness.. i think its the smell, but I digress). I had visions of Victory Memorial, happily its nowhere near that. All in all I was out in under 2 hours. Its amazing how a smile and some kind words to the overworked hospital staff will expedite things. There was a super crabby woman who was there for like 5 hours. Then again I'm also otherwise healthy so my case was pretty straightforward.
