Here I am on a dead Hallowe'en trying to use the quiet time to catch up on the blog and avoid eating so much candy that I throw up. Later, I'll throw up - but for now I haven't had so much candy that I can't write a bit.
The spinal exam was incredibly uneventful - except that I'm convinced that someone from Merivale Medical Imaging is on to me. My appointment was for 11:45 but MMI wants everyone there 15 minutes early to register and fill out any necessary forms. I didn't arrive until 11:35 - and yet no one yelled at me! I gave the registration desk clerk my health card - and instead of one of the meanies calling me over ten minutes later, the clerk herself hand-delived the card to me where I sat in the waiting area!!! Never in all my dealings with MMI had I seen such a thing! I gave a self satisfied smile to the old lady with the oxygen tank who sat across from me. Illness and lack of oxygen mean nothing to these people - but words are mightier than the sword - or at least than the oxygen tank in these circumstances!
The tech came out and called three of us into the back. I went into my little change room looking forward to another interminable wait in a suffocating box of a waiting area - but it was not to be! I was first - no waiting room for me! I was whisked right into the x-ray room. That got the next little old lady a satisfied smile from yours truly as well.
