This Past Week...

[arthur_p_dent]

What do you get when you combine a holiday Monday and working from home? You forget what the hell day it is! Yes, I'm a day late. And even the fact that I've made a couple posts along the way doesn't make up for it.

I had planned to go get tests done on my knee last week. Unfortunately I didn't realize that one of them required an appointment, and that isn't for another couple weeks. It's been feeling gradually better over the past few days, but I learned my lesson the last time and I'm not taking any chances. 

With my knee the way it is I decided to take exercise off the goals list for this month (I don't want to penalize myself with zeros on something I can't actually do). But even with that change, I still took another beating this week. A big side effect of working from home is that my daily routines have all been disrupted, and that's where all my shortfalls are happening. I realized that last week, but wasn't able to do much about it so far.

I got a reminder yesterday about registration for this year's curling season. I was actually going to be in two leagues this year, but depending on what my test results show, I may not end up playing at all. This will be a wait-and-see item for now.

Well, that'll do it for me this week. Football season back, so that's what I'm watching tonight. Have a great evening everyone. =]

Sorry you have to wait so long for your appointment. I really hope you're able to do curling this year! *all the hugs*

*takes all the hugs, then greedily asks for more* =]

I just want to find out what the problem is so I can start working on a fix. Being hyper-careful with every step is really getting annoying.

It was a shame to have to back out of the competitive league, but at least the rest of the team has time to find someone else. I'm still hopeful about the rec league, even if I have to modify my game to compensate.

*more hugs*

Yeah, I can see how that would get very annoying very quickly, especially without knowing what the problem is or what to do about it. How long do you expect to wait?

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the rec league!

The appointment is the end of next week, so hopefully I'll get the results sometime the week after.

Oof, so another couple of weeks at the least? Sorry to hear that. Will they be able to tell you for sure at the appointment how long you'll wait for results? Not knowing how long you'll have to wait must be so frustrating!

It's just an x-ray and ultrasound, so it shouldn't take long. Heck, the last time I had an ultrasound to look for a hernia, the technician actually told me as she was doing the test what she was seeing (unofficially of course since she wasn't a doctor).

And as for frustrations, that's basically the norm when dealing with the Canadian health care system. We may not like it, but eventually we get used to it.

That's good that it'll be something quick and simple like that.

Yeah, an old friend of mine used to have trouble with waits too. I guess every system has its downsides.
