Post-ride finger fix

 My first full day off the bike in San Francisco was spent with our friend Mark Zuckerberg. Hahaha. The hospital he had endowed. Historically terrible people such as slave owners, robber barons, union busters, etc have supported/started institutions. I just find it so ironic 

But, who cares! I needed to get an idea of what was going on with my finger. 

I was dropped off a little before 10 a.m. and was released around 4:30. In between staff brought me crackers, like a pre-schooler snack. I walked in and the process of check in went great. My insurance was accepted. I saw a nurse who sent me for X-rays. Then the real wait was for the person who was going to snatch the finger and straighten it out. He told me his name was Joseph, he had gone to University of Chicago, we had a lot of patter which took my mind off the fact he used a needle to numb and was going to have to realign the dislocated finger by yanking it. Listen, it all went well 

More time, though, spent getting new x-ray and waiting for the person to look and see if I was good to go. 

My plan was to walk back, but I was famished and a bit run down. I'd been on an emotional high after the pull and reset (I actually heard it snap back into place), and now was feeling wasted. My friend picked me up and we went shopping for food--grocery shopping in SF, many items behind barriers, security everywhere, must tap receipt to leave. We made it back after spending all day there, but so glad and grateful. I can bend the finger. Still sore, though.
