Plan for the day:
1. Leave in ten minutes. Go get an upper lip wax and eyebrow threading because I look like a monster
2. Go to my knee specialist to be told, again, there's nothing that can be done for my condition and would I like loads of pain killers (the answer will be "yes please!"). I also need to ask him if there's some sort of a bionic device I can wear on my knee while working out cause it's starting to get sore.
For those who are unaware, I had a knee injury 6 years ago during the SARS outbreak. At that time, if you went into emergency they wanted to get you out as fast as possible. They took an x-ray, tole me to stop complaining and go home cause it was just sprained. 2-3 weeks later, my knee was still the size of a softball because of the swelling so I went to see my GP. He flipped out and sent me immediately to a specialist without even filling out a referral form. The specialist (orthopedic surgeon) took one x-ray and realized it was broken in 2 places, ripped in 2-3 and I had ripped off a piece of cartilage that was just floating around. A week later I was in the operating room. I've been back twice more since then to be operated on because of all the damage incurred during the time it was ignored. In retrospect, I should have sued for malpractice. It's pretty much ruined my life and any chance of leading a normal one.
3. Get sushi on my way home. Yum!
4. Go to a 1 hour massage
5. Come home. Die and relax.
