First, rehab clinic at 2pm. Uh oh no more sexy lady doctor. It's the fierce rehab doc who saw me in HD. He seemed nicer this time. I brought my HKAFO today, something for him to write about. Don't say I'm "unmotivated" ok!
Billing is slowwww. Running late for my 2.20pm CT scan! Crazy scheduling, I know.
Reached the Radiology department on the dot, but I got to get changed duh. Then waited. Phew. I saw 2 other waiting patients drinking something weird. Please don't make me drink that!
I didn't have to, since I'm just taking a spine CT. Because I couldn't put my arms above my head, I had to hold on to a pillow to help maintain my arms' position. Almost couldn't fit into the doughnut. Had to keep absolutely still although my arms were protesting in pain.
CT, Spine, 2 Areas - CT thoracic & lumbar spine to assess fusion axial cut perpendicular to facet
Out of pocket $103.00

I wonder... if I had flinched and had to redo the scan, would I be charged for it?
Last stop, PT. When I was going to put on my HKAFO, a lady patient fainted and all resources were diverted to her. So drama! The lady hadn't eaten. What time now already, haven't eat??
A senior PT whom I have never seen before and my usual PT, A, attended to me. The senior was damn irritating! Kept telling A what to do and refused to listen to A and me. I had to go through all the rubbish about making me sit again. And she wanted to make me do sit to stand, despite A's protest, because she knew my quirks. A tried to get her to help me stand the way she usually did, but this @$%&%# wouldn't listen. When she finally did what we told her, she probably realized A was right and proceeded to tell A that she must help such patients this way.
What an asshole. Luckily she went away. We have only just met and I already can't stand her.
Walked with the Arjo Walker, but it turned out to be more difficult. Why?
