at the General Hospital...

[fajrdrako]

I'm in the waiting room of Module X, which is where you get x-rays. Too bad it doesn't look more like an X-Men locale... Except for the big black X on a yellow circle that designates the Module.

Thirty minute wait for an x-ray. The waiting area is half full. Lucky it's just a check-up and I'm not in pain. Lucky I have my Blackberry to amuse me, and a good book, and a French-Canadian magazine called 'Lundi' which I pinched from Module P, which is where my surgeon resides. His name is Doctor Pollock, but I don't think the module is named for him.

The magazine is fun. It's about Quebecois stars I've never heard of. The language is easy enough, but idiomatic. I'm writing down the words and phrases I don't know.

The nurse just called for "Irene, the woman with a last name that's difficult to pronounce.". Irene recognized it as her name, and laughed.

Bored now.

Since I came back to edit in my paragraph breaks, I'm going to add the x-ray of my arm. Because I can. There - isn't it purty?

How is arm doing?

[fajrdrako]

The arm has been uncomfortable lately - I think it doesn't like the rainy weather. It won't straighten at all. But I seem to be able to lift any kind of weight without trouble - which is great. So it's all better than I might ever have expected.
