The System

Tonight I was going to throw a weee little editorial diddy down about all the Phisiotherapy I've been taking. This morning I even went as far as snappin a few portraits of myself droppin the hammer on a 1lb dumbbell. Unfortunetly the cord to access my camera is roughly 6 feet from my gurnee and thus 6 feet out of my reach. More phisio I suppose... So all the pictures I planned to upload are beyond my 4 foot radius world.

Anyway, I guess I'll switch instead to a more negative subject and vent a little frustration. A little story if I may.
Yesterday I was supposed to head to Calgary and attend a nerve conduction clinic (EMG). This particular clinic was important, important because i could very well give me an indication on why my arm won't work. Not to mention the majority of nerve injuries need to be assessed and treated 2 months from when it is injured. Now, as you can imagine I was looking forward to this excursion. For those who no longer enjoy the existence of being a biped are subject to escorted transportation to these clinics, some kind of calgary health region el'stipulationo. Thats fine with me, a free ride in an ambulance at the tax payers expense. Bring it.
To make a long story short, my ride didnt show up. I figured possibly an 18 car pile up or a terrorist attack had delayed my escort to the priverbial EMG judgement day. "thats cool", i thought.
Negative.

Dispatch had failed to send anyone out, thus missing my first big date at the nerve conduction "big dance", all of which to find out whether my hand will be of use ever again or just something I can use as a paperweight.
Now the problem here is that appointments are backed up a month, and no nurse, no doctor (yes, can u believe this!) can squeek u in earlier.
Naturally my next order of action after finding this out was to have a Tantty.
One of those Tantties that has everyone in the room saying "Tranquillo".


After much haggling, hours of negotiating and pleaing a appointment was agreed upon for today. If you wish to find out what happened today, refer back 1 full paragraph



thats right, the system hooped me again.

what can i say, i'm kind of choked right now. will we find out if i can get this study done or not

There's a lot of madness in every state. Kafka and Orwell and on and on...

Fight!
