I finally got a call back from the Doctor's office - after I called there after three days of waiting for x-ray results. At first, the receptionist told me they had not arrived back yet. Then she told me they had arrived. Then she said she couldn't tell me the results only the doctor could. I would have to make an appointment with the Dr to discuss them. After she said that, I said I didn't have to do that last time and she just said, "oh".
Well, I got flustered and said I would have to call back as I had to go to work. Apparently, they phoned back shortly after I left for work and when John got home he called me to tell me there was a message to call the doctor's office. The same thing happened again. First she was unaware, then she was and finally read the doctors note from my file "mild deformity (fracture) of right hand - 4th and 5th metacarpal; 4th appears to be from old injury, 5th looks like a recent fracture." She wondered what I wanted to do next? What I want to do? what do they think I NEED to do? She then volunteered they could make an appt with a hand specialist, if I wanted. So...I said YES I did! They will call me when it's set up. I wonder how long that will take??? Likely I will be calling to find out about that one too! By then, my hand will have healed incorrectly! Maybe there is nothing they can do but it would be nice to hear a diagnosis from a doctor - spoken to me and suggesting what I can do for treatment or improvement. Guess I learned my lesson...next time (hopefully never) but next time..go get an x-ray right away if there is ANY concern.
