How Do You Spell That?

I did something to my right ankle. Don't ask me what, because I don't know. All I know is I cannot flex it. As it happens, you need to be able to both bend AND flex your foot to walk. Isn't that interesting?

I call my doctor's office the minute it is open, and ask if I can get in to see whoever is covering for my doctor. I wanted to ask for them to make my doctor return from his family vacation overseas, but I restrained myself.

The receptionist is more than helpful, and I get an appointment for 9:45 this morning. She tells me the name of the doctor covering for mine, and I cannot understand it. As I am preparing to hang up, I ask her to spell the doctor's name for me, so I will know whose name to look for when I get there.

There is a small pause, then she spells the name for me.

B-E-L-L

I am an idiot. Oh yes indeed I am.
