This is my dang luck!

Today I went in to my 1 year follow up from our truck accident ( Jan. 5, 2008) I was told it was gonna be a therepy session. I'm still having alot of pain and troubles moving my arm. So I get to the appt. they taken me to x ray. I'm thinkin' ok well whatever. Everytime I went to my appts. here they took x rays I just figured they like lookin at the bones. So the x ray tech tells me were gonna do 4 standing and one laying down. Well so we do the 4 standing ones. Then she has me lay down pushes this wall thing up against my neck and has me look the other direction. Ok this is aquward and it hurt like hell. She takes the pict. as she comes back to the table she grabbed the remote for the table and the machine as she did this she accidently pushed a button and the table moved. I got bucked off the damn x ray table.( I laugh about it now ) At this point I'm now layin' on the floor well what the heck. She felt just aweful.I now need another x ray of my shoulder as I landed on it and twisted my ancle as I was tryin to catch my self from fallin'. I go see my Dr. she tells me she is surprised they never did a MRI on my shoulder since the wreck they just did cat scans. So she wants me in a sling for my shoulder incase I ahve ripped muscles to make sure I don't damage them anymore right. I'm to be in the sling until I get back to see her. I'M THINKIN' IT'S BEEN A FRICKIN' YEAR ! The MRI people will call me within the week to set up an appt. but they are lookin at 2-4 weeks out then I'm to make a follow up with my Dr. 1 week after that. WHAT THAT LONG AGAIN IN A SLING ???

HELLLO I DRIVE A STICK PEOPLE! I CAN'T DRIVE NOW !!! :-(

So I'm thinkin' I can hobble out of there now but NO !they tell me since I fell ( NOt my fault I was bucked off !) at this Dr.s office they want me seen for my ancle as it is now ballooned up. But they can't see me I have to go to another clinic. So I drive ( YEAH I DROVE ANYWAYS ) across town to Salmon Creek Dr. then puts me in a boot walkin cast for 3 weeks as I had spranged it pretty good, and stretched my akilies tendon. My week has gone to S**T! Can it get any worse?
