WAKE-UP CALL
About how bad is the medical system in Quebec (I don't want to generalize by saying Canada but I think so too)
I went to the clinic this morning to get my foot checked. It is still constantly hurting, and I had to start taking ibuprofene everyday now. I knew the double header this week-end was not my most fantastic idea but it was what I wanted to do. And with lots of ibuprofene I enjoyed both races.
Right now, I AM SO ANGRY. They screwed up my case at the clinic and *forgot* to follow up some results from my radiography in April!!!
THEY KNOW SINCE APRIL THAT I HAVE A HEEL SPUR.
WTF YOU PEOPLE!!
DO YOUR JOB!
I AM SO FREAKIN MAD.
All summer, I did the best I could to deal with this "unknown" pain in my foot and they knew since way back what I had.... The podiatrist thought it was neuromas so I researched neuromas... seemed to make sense went on board with it. But I knew he wasn't a doctor and wanted to get this checkd before I have a 2nd cortisone injection (apointment made for October 14th).
Having a hard time dealing with this right now.
I AM MAD MAD MAD MAD MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Muskoka is too far... I was looking at Lake Stevens in Washington (Aug 16th), just outside of Seattle. It sounds like a good excuse to drive to the States, shop till I drop, and run a race!
