Today was a health care day

The toe I stubbed the shit out of the first week of November still hurts up into the foot so I finally dragged myself in to see my doctor's new PA. I set up the X-ray for this afternoon and since their vaccine clinic is in the same building I made appointments for my husband and me to get our flu shots.

First off, I did break my toe. The third bone from the end is pretty splintered. I'm not sure what can be done about it, I'll probably have to visit the orthopedic clinic and see their foot specialist. I know about the break since they gave me a CD of the X-rays and it is obvious from every angle that bone is broken.

The flu shots were a breeze. You check in they call you back, go over the paperwork and they stab you. I talked to the nurse giving the shots since they were also giving Covid vaccines in the same clinic, but not the same room. Right now they are giving shots to the 1A group - health care workers and over 70.

ETA - Got interrupted.

On the way into the clinic outside the door, they have someone to check your temp and ask about Covid symptoms. Then in the hall just inside they have a new desk set up to check in. All the normal check in people do is verify address and insurance. Same for upstairs for the vaccine clinic, new desk in hall, minimal contact with the office workers. All very smooth.
