Everything falls apart

Well, I don't have gout. The doctor told me the test results showed no crystals in the fluid. He doesn't think I've torn my meniscus either, because that doesn't usually come with as much fluid. He told me to take it easy, and to call every day to see whether the other test results had returned. He told me to go to my physical on Thursday and see if that helped supply any other information. And with that, I was out of the office.

I came home to no hot water. This morning, the super arrived to fix a drip in the bathroom sink. On the phone he said it would take ten minutes. Soon I could hear gushing coming out of the bathroom. "Ummm, do you have a towel?" he asked. Hot water was spewing out of the faucet. By the time the super had shut the water off, there was water all over the bathroom. I told him that it would soon be leaking into my neighbor's apartment. He said he needed to go to work first. Then he needed to get parts. He said he'd be back at three.

At three he came back. He looked around and said he needed to go to the store, but that he'd be back. He took a part and left. And so far he hasn't come back. Posted by eku at November 14, 2005 4:29 PM
