Going to hospital for just two days takes an incredible amount of planning and work.
I go back to remove some iron pins from my elbow and to get the steel wires out of my knee. It basically is just about half an hour of work by the doctors. But they want to keep me over-night. Mainly cause they will apply full anesthetics and don't want me to walk out like a half zombie ^_^
Whatever, I am grateful they take in patients from an accident without all that paperwork.
But he is unconscious and bleeding to death!
Hmm, sorry about that. But he has to fill in and sign these sixteen forms before we can take him in.
But can't you see he is dying?!?!!
Well, in that case we have these seven extra forms to be signed and we need an allowance from his insurance (actually three allowances in six-fold) and ...
Arrgh

I don't hate hospitals, I only hate bureaucracies.

When Doctors miscalculate, you're in trouble.

Unless your name is Sjon :)

The hospital doc miscalculated on the prescription for my physical exercises so now I end up with a gap in the series that I don't have to go to the torture sessions with the Kinesic.

But I wouldn't be me if I didn't go anyway. Yes, it hurts, especially on the fitness bike but it does help me get better so I go. And it helps. I walk without a limp most of the time and while I still cannot run (I tried ... auwies) I can walk quite fast already.

Work is at it's best ... if you got to log in form home. On a sunday.

But that's OK, cause I have a day off tomorrow and not just for another doctor visit.
OK, I go to the doc to retreive a prescription and I go to the dentist for a new filling but that's just the early morning. The rest of the day I go driving around the coutryside. For fun.

Strange weather.

Rain and hail is clattering against the windows on the left while the sun is streaming in trough the windows on the right. It's as if a dimensional break runs over the office with one side looking out on a Canadian autumn storm while the other side opens up to a nice Hawaiian spring evening.

Proof!
Men are though, enduring the hardests of climates. But once women turn up it all falls down.
Women drive men to drinking.

It will never dry up that well
even with the sun shining fell
Ever when the water runs low
there is some subterranean flow
drip-feeding the reservoir of water
keeping the level above care and bother
 
So I don't worry myself senseless
even when I write words rhyme less
Because I remember that down below
the verses linger, waiting to grow
forming beautiful themes all fresh,
painting with words rippling like flesh.  

But for the moment I am dry
however hard I try
no wonderful words come tumbling
out of my hands now fumbling
searching for combinations unspoken
but finding all verses are broken.

Just trying to catch some rhyming mood, It's been gone to long.
Oh, I still stumble on the odd rhyming phrase, but stringing them together kind of stems the flow.

Money is a problem.

I have enough of it, that's not the problem. Just getting something payed is.
I have a set of internet domains registered at Joker.com. I pay them regular for that with my Visa card. But new this year is that they check with the bank on line. To get that check passed you need a PCBanking account (which I have) and a Digipass to generate keys (which I don't have). So I ordered a Digipass at the bank (they are free if you have the right account) and got it. They also sent me an activation code for it.
Or rather, the sent an activation code for a Digipass. Each Digipass has a separate activation code and the code they sent me was for a different Digipass. So I complain, ask a new code (or a new Digipass) and wait.
Waiting for a bank is frustrating. Waiting while your domain registration is running out is supper-frustrating.

Happy birthday.

OK, It's my Dad's birthday and although he died six years ago I still celebrate it with a good dinner (chicken-stew with fennel) and a good bottle of wine.

Pain is a strange thing.
 
Since I decided I was healed the pain has changed. I decided a couple of days ago I was healed, more or less arbitrary I know, at the time I was in constant pain. Not a hard 'screaming' pain but a kind of background pain/resistance every time I moved my left knee or elbow. Now the pain is no longer constant but rather only occurs when I consciously push my limits (quite often :) ) or when I make an unintentional 'reflexive' movement (too often as well :( ).  But it seems be a much harder, stronger pain. 

>science postulate&;lt;I suppose I have succeeded in suppressing the normal pain but whenever I trigger an extra pain stimulus both the extra as the base level pain pass trough the mental filter. Causing a larger spike and a slower attenuation of the waves. >/science bable<
Harder but occasional pain isn't stopping me though. I promised that, if ever, I was going to run again in the summer. Sure, first time will be painful and won't be long distance. But when I reach summer I will start to run again if I can. If I cannot then, I will never run again. (And if I cannot run I'll get myself a bike or start some other sport :) )

Should we buy the products they want to sell ...

Or should they produce the products we want to buy?

Work is madness. Just as usual.
At least my colleagues all smile at me cause I am back. And the users have found me as well. So I get days like today.
I get in early, about 07:15, to handle all the mailed support questions. Then I open a program editor and a source where I need to add a bit of code, say about ten lines. And then the phone starts ringing.
I start closing at around 18:00 and find the program editor still open and the source unchanged.
And it still was a productive day :)

I am still going to the kine. About a month ago I mentioned that it took me just over half an hour to walk there. It's just over a kilometer. Today I got there in ten minutes. <br />Slight improvement *big smile*

What kind of guy is he?
Hmm, a Janus. In your face he is all nice and smiling, patting your back and all. But behind your back he's he would kick you in the nose and muddy your face.

Oh Doctor, my hands are shaking so terribly. Cannot you prescribe some medicine against that?
Hmm, do you drink a lot?
No, not at all, I spill most!

Ok, not really preparing, I just got my new car -same brand+model, just new version-  and I actually drove it around a bit.
Driving does hurt though cause I have to keep my -left- leg bent just beyond the confort angle and moving it to the clutch pedal is too slow for safety (half a second is way to long in an emergency).

But at least I have the car and I can drive if I have to.
