Expensive Shit

The orthosis vendor guy and a lady assistant came during lunch time to take my measurements. He asked for a pail and started making some kind of plaster to take a mould of my calves and feet.

The thing is going to cost $6k.

$6k.

$6k!!!

I thought $700 for the TLSO was bad, but 一山还有一山高! Dr L really thinks my pocket is a bottomless pit huh! Making me get this without knowing the cost!

I paid a $3k deposit. If only he accepts credit cards. Assuming a transaction charge of 3%, I still have 2% savings even if he passes the cost to me.

This sum could have paid for a holiday, but now I'm not going anywhere.

Sigh.
