Good news 1.
After limping around San Antonio with an aching leg (following my spectacular collision with wet concrete at the pool) and restless nights with toothache in my leg, I went this morning to a walk in center. No one in the waiting area. Details taken right away. Nurse hovering in the doorway ready to take me to a room for blood pressure test and vital signs. There were some, thank goodness! Then into a private room where I am gowned, labelled and laid out on a bed. Doctor comes back with a) different nurse and b) additional person balancing lap top who takes all the notes. Doctor does squeezing and twisting and elicits one sharp howl and orders x-rays. Radiographer comes and wheels bed into x-ray room. Takes three x-rays and wheels me back. Unseen Radiologist reads the x-rays and reports to doctor. Doctor returns. No break, just bad bruising. Expect it to be painful for at least another week. Rest with your leg up (yes! yes!) and take these very strong painkillers. At the check out we give the details of our UK travel insurance company and leave. Total time taken? 1 hour!
Bad news
With all those people involved the bill is going to be high! Much paperwork to follow, no doubt.
Good news 2.
Back home and lunch in the garden...in the warm sunshine. In January! Wonderful!
