Uh Oh For Knee-o

Looks like Mr. Knee might have to go under the knife again.

A year and a half after surgery, and still swollen and stiff (why can't other things be like that?)

So my doc recommends another MRI. Get ready to wait.

So called up the Health Network today to ask if they have at least received the requisition.

"Sir, your doctor only sent the requisition in two weeks ago. It will be at least two to three more weeks until we process it. And then another three to four months until your appointment."

Pfffffffft......I love socialized medicine.

So I thought, what the hell, it can't hurt, "Any cancellations?"

She goes, "Let's see.....how about tomorrow?"

Unbelievable. You think she might have offered up that little tidbit of information herself. But that's just more work for a government employee.

Ay yi yi.......So it's off to the MRI clinic for 5:30am!

Man, if I had your knees I would have been done with hockey 20 years ago.

Skip the knife and get a brace. It's working for me and, like seatbelts, you forget you're wearing it. It looks funny in a Speedo so you shouldn't wear it at the beach.

What's funny at the beach? the speedo or the brace?
