Thanx for all of the concerns.I'm doing just fine.They shot my whole hand up with novacaine and I still cant feel my finger.No pain killers yet but might take one tonight cause when that Novacaine wears off it mat sting a bit.There have been some discussions about health care on the forum lately so I will tell the story about this problem.
I got back from The GTG on Sunday the 22nd of June.I walked into the docs office(was in the neighborhood) on the 24th.Had an appointment on the 25Th.They looked at my records,took an x'ray and set me up for Surgery on the 26th.I told them I needed more time as I had work set up for that date.I chose the following Thursday (today) and other than a surgery gone long before me it was all good.My surgery was set for 1:15,they told me it would be a 2 hour delay.They put me under at 2:30 and I was out the door at 3:15.My total out of pocket will be $348.00.Its not always a nightmare down here.Not trying to restart a big discussion here,just a little insight into how this case was handled.Thanx again for the kind concern..y'all rock!
