it's hip to be square

succumbed to pizza. i really wanted a steak, but knew i couldn’t cook it well enough so i opted for the more expensive, less satisfying option. i rock! and i have indigestion.
tomorrow is a big day! it’s MRI day at St. Paul’s! my appointment is at 7am, so i’m hoping to arrive around 6:30 so i can find where the radiology department in time. i’ve never done more than just drive past the hospital, so i’m way more nervous about getting/parking there than anything else. the last thing i want is to be late and get bumped. that would make me cry.
otherwise, i’m ridiculously excited about it! i totally expect i’m going to be like some annoying 5 year old asking “what’s that?” “what are you doing?” “what does that do?” “what are you doing now?” “can i take a picture?” “what’s that noise?”
i’m SO EXCITED i don’t even mind that my alarm clock is set for 4:45 am.
i sold two more magnet sets today. i took my latest into work and they went pretty darn fast. i have more square glass on order, but it could be weeks until it arrives, which is sad because i received three beautiful new chiyogami papers from portland in the mail and i can’t wait to use them.
i had big plans to do laundry and some house cleaning tonight since i have plans wednesday and company coming on thursday and super dessert to make tomorrow, but… it’s cold and rainy and dark and i’m so stuffed with mediocre pizza i think i’ll just park my but on the couch and work on my latest pair of booties while basking in the glow of the idiot box.
sound good to you?

4 Thoughts on “on sloth and medical intervention

  1. Best of luck with the whole knee thing. I hope yours can be fixed!
    MRI is weird, when it’s pulsing you can feel it and it’s a strange sensation. Once I was out of the machine they showed me my knee on the screen, I’m sure you could grab a picture of that if you’re quick… they’ll probably make you stash your stuff in a locker as you can’t take anything metal into the machine of course, so you’ll have to grab your cam before you go look!
    Do you have an appt. with a surgeon yet, or were you referred by your GP? Usually around 10 days or so after your MRI the radiologist’s report will be in the system so any doctor/surgeon/physio hooked up to the fancy medical network thing can access the report and give it to you even if you’re waiting for an appt.
    The good news is that almost completely regardless of what injury you have, I will have the same thing and be able to understand what you’re talking about and relate HAHA
    Wow, I sound really unhappy and sarcastic, but I’m actually not, it’s all good
    HEY – where is the fancy square glass from?? I want some! I can never find suppliers of the things that I desire!

    i was referred by my GP. she said i should get the MRI first because most surgeons would just throw my file to the back of the pile if it didn’t have the MRI results in it. so, i guess i go back to her to get a referral to the surgeon. fun — more waiting!
    if the crappy doctor was right 12 years ago, i have a meniscus tear after a patella dislocation. hopefully, that’s all it is since that’s a pretty easy fix. *crosses fingers*

    Hmm, maybe you should come visit us NOW, before fixing the knee… just in case… ;-)
    Did you get to take any photos?
