The News: Wednesday, December 5 Edition

Today I have to see the surgeon again. I honestly have no idea why, unless she’s going to take another batch of x-rays to make sure nothing has gone horribly awry like the screws moving or something. I think it’s just a ploy to take more of my money, but so be it. Once you reach a certain point of debt it kinda becomes academic. I’m a little down today…last night my stepmother called me to make sure I knew when Christmas is at their house, and that I wouldn’t be working. Which is when I realized I hadn’t told them I had surgery, or even that I was going to. And then I looked at my calendar, and it turns out I haven’t talked to them since the weekend before I went to the med center in mid-July which started this whole thing. It’s just sad, really.
