With
a slightly better night’s sleep last night, I was ready to start my
day before 7:30 this morning. That gave me time to start
reading Blogs until Kathy joined me an Hour later.
Wanting something quick and easy for breakfast, when Kathy came out
to join me, I was able to have it all served within Five Minutes
without the Coffees that were served at the Computers.
We
had just sat down at our Computers ourselves, when the
Building Maintenance Man, John knocked on the door. The
Company had brought in a Licensed
Electrician to do a number of needed jobs today. He was replacing
a light fixture in another apartment but would be able to replace
our Wall Outlet in about Ten Minutes. It only took Ed
Five Minutes to replace it and he left. Two Minutes
later John came looking for him to do another job.
I
didn’t want to wake Kathy too early, so I had waited until we were
back at the Computers to make a phone call. Yesterday, I had
tried unsuccessfully reaching our Family Doctor when we got
home, but because he closes his office by 2:00 in the
afternoon, there was no answer. When I spoke to Lisa this morning, I
explained that the Bone, Joint and Muscle
Walk-in Clinic was not going to do X-Rays
just Physiotherapy. George had been concerned about possible
damage to the Shoulder, so when I suggested he write out a
Prescription for X-Rays, he simply said “We close at
noon on Fridays”.
We
were out the door by 10:30 on our way to our Family
Doctor’s Office. Taking the same route as Tuesday,
we had more Green
Traffic Lights and were leaving his Office
with the Prescribed X-Ray Requisite by 11:00.
Knowing
that it could take time, we stopped at Wendy’s
to get lunch. We were enjoying our meal when Kids from a
nearby High School started
filling the place up. The Manager had to threaten to throw
some of them out, when they started stealing from one another’s
orders.
When
we got to Clear Imaging it was a
Two Hour Wait before they took a number of X-Rays of my
Shoulder. However, my Doctor had also wanted an Ultrasound to check for any Soft Tissue Damages. They would not
schedule me for the procedure, telling me that I had to call and make
it myself. This is a Private Company,
not part of our Ontario Health Care
System, so unless you are in an Accident,
Bleeding in a Hospital,
you are at their mercy. I called from the Waiting
Room. They are so booked, they are no longer making
appointments but putting you on a Call List, for when they
have a Cancellation, which could take between Eight to
Twelve Weeks. Strangely, after being called to the back, I was
seated looking into an Empty Unused Ultrasound Room, but
there are too many people waiting.
On
our way home we stopped at Guardian Storage
to collect our Mail before the weekend. Inside our Mailbox
was a Package that I had been tracking, meaning that it was
delivered by the Canadian Postal Services.
Kathy was surprised to find the latest in the series “Big
Lake Misfit” by our friend Nick Russell.
With
the gasoline prices down to $1.239/Litre
($4.80/US Gallon) it was time to fill up the Car.
With
the Rush-Hour Traffic in full
swing, we stopped at Arby’s for
an early supper. Before leaving the parking lot, we picked up a few
more supplies at Dollarama. We
saved time going home by driving through the Walmart
parking lot.
The
6 o’clock Local News didn’t
have anything new to tell us, except to wish a Happy
Mother’s Day too all the Moms in their viewing
audience, because they won’t be there on the weekend.
Later
we watched “Monk” for
entertainment.
