Ugh, sorry. I hope you're not on your way to being that guy in THE PITT who went apeshit in the waiting room.

I'm on my way to slumberland at the rate I'm going. I'm exhausted.

Fuck! It will soon be daylight. Do you have a way home, other than your bike, when they finally finish with you?

I figured I'd take a bus home. Or maybe request a van for a cab.

Bus doesn't sound like fun when you've been up all night and you're injured. Post when you're done, and maybe someone with a bike rack can give you a lift. I'd take you if I'm up.

They just saw me. It was a hematoma, so swelling should go down. I'm free to go. If you're offering a ride, I'll happily take it.

Hour 13 1/2: they finally called me in. I'm now in Pod 5, awaiting x-rays. I just want to go home and cuddle my cats. I also sent a message to my date for later today that I'll have to take a rain check.

Hour 14: after gettingx-rays, I've been given my own room. (Room 35). I'm lying down now. Ugh.

Yeah, clearly healthcare is all “fixed” in Nova Scotia now so he has all the time in the world to concentrate on micromanaging Halifax streets.

After napping in my room, the doctor came in. A quick look and it was decided it was a hematoma. So they're releasing me. I'm exhausted.

Oh wow. That is awful. That you had to wait such a long time. Get some rest, if possible

I also told her my Instagram username if they wanted to see my spectacular tumble. And in case she didn't believe me.

They are hoping your leg will magically heal itself while you are waiting.
