Just got back from the hospital... (and my new Doc)

...but not for me this time lol.

Paul was fighting with John over using John's computer and as this is one of John's day off he wanted to use it and told Paul to screw off. Well Paul kept getting in John's face and escalating it and making it worse and trying to drag me into it, which I hate to fight right now as it inflames my DP. Anyway Paul kept getting right up and in John's face and threatening his computer and accounts on the different things he has (like WoW and such) and so John pushed Paul in his chest...

Well Paul grabbed a wrench that was on the piano and hit John as hard as he could on the elbow (I dunno if John tried to block the hit by raising his arm it kinda looks that way).

Anyway I had a look at it and it was bleeding under the skin and swelling and John way hurting rather bad at that point so we both deiced that he need it looked at.

At first we went to Insta-care to see if they would look at it. By this time John had had the worst time driving down to the Insta-care on 21st south and just off 9th east. I offered to drive him but since I'm having the lovely trip know as DP he thought it was not the best idea. When we got there they wanted almost $100 buck up front and John just did not have that kinda cash to throw at them so we decided to take him to the ER. More money but they will work with you and bill you for the cost.

At this point he could not drive so I said I would as long as he did not mind me going slow and it did not freak me out to much. (see DP is a fucked up crippling thing that is messing over normal life >.< I can't even drive a car normally) Anyway I drove it from the Insta-care at 9th and 21st and made it clear up to the ER at LDS hospital with no problems and that kinda made me rather happy that I at least know that I can drive with this if I have to. Not that I like it one bit while DP-ed out but you take what you get with this.

Anyway I parked and took him in and got him checked in and taken care of up at LDS. They said right off that it was most likely not broken even though John said that it hurt a 7 out of 10 on the pain scale and he was having trouble bending it and moving it and pain when doing so.

They took x-rays and checked him some more and then we left.

At this point John said that he wanted to drive home so that I could relax and not feel so stressed (more DP fun... new or high stress things make DP flare up. Don't I have a awesome brother ^_^ thinking of me even when he has mega pain).

Anyway we are home and Paul and Rachel are gone and my parents are at a missionary reunion for my father's Munich mission. Dunno if Paul and Rachel went with them and I bet they did after Paul fed them a big sob story about how John beat him up.... HELLO John was in the ER NOT Paul. Sorry it kinda pisses me off.

Hell I didn't even get to take my new anxiety meds before driving John thanks to Paul. NOT FUN!

In short bad day in some ways.



Other news my new psychiatrist is much better and understanding then the dim bulbs that I was going to before. He seems like a better person to work with. He also gave me two meds to work with my anxiety on. One is a faster acting one that I take half a pill four times a day and the other is an SSRI (*gulp*) that will take a month or more to work up to level in my system and get working well.

Kinda scary that I'm taking some strong meds but if it works I will do a happy dance of never ending joy for them.

As for now it is still rather crappy and I still feel like life is a very boring and scary (*le sigh*) movie that I don't get to be a part of.

*hugs* to all my beloved friends!
