Sports Medicine

Barb was away at a pickleball tournament.  I had an appointment at the Sports Medicine Clinic.  It wasn’t too far away and I thought I knew where I was going.  Of course, I got lost and was late for my appointment.

The doctor saw me and diagnosed correctly that I had skier’s thumb.  It was stretched tendons at the base of my right thumb.  He prescribed a thumb brace.

So I went to the store to buy the brace.  The doctor told me the store was at Lebreton Flats.  So I thought I knew where it was.

I drove through rush hour traffic to Lebreton Flats and there was no store there that I could find.  I drove around and around through rush hour traffic and construction.  Finally, I decided to stop at the McDonalds on Bronson and get directions.  There was a terrible traffic jam and I found out a car had stalled on the road just before the entrance to the McDonalds.

I tried to look up the store on my iPod but the battery was dead.  For some reason, I had my computer with me.  So I brought my computer into McDonalds and tried to hook it up to the Wifi.  I tried and tried but I couldn’t hook it up.  So I asked the manager to help me and we finally got it working.  I looked up the store and found the address and then I got a map.

I finally found the place.  There was a outlet store plaza beside a medical building but it was off the beaten track.  I never would have found it without Google Maps.

I bought a brace and it worked great.  Now I can’t blame my poor batting on a sore thumb anymore.
