Yesterday was supposed to be my MRI day. I knew something was going to go wrong when I was told that I had to be there when the place opened and I didn't have an MRI time. In my life I have probably had about 4 MRIs and I know that I have always had a scheduled time for the MRI. I never just showed up. So the place I was going to opened at 8:30. Here was warning sign number two that something was going to go wrong. The door was locked. I waited around for about 15 mins before being able to go inside. So, no scheduled time, and the office wasn't open. Not a great start. It gets better. For those of you who don't know me all that well, I do not do well with unorganized businesses or people who don't do their jobs correctly. My trainer and I went up to the window together to talk to the lady working the coutner about this mythical MRI I was to have done yesterday. Apparently there was supposed to be a note left by the doctor, who is out until July 11, for me to get an MRI done on Tuesday and it couldn't be found. So, either doc forgot or it was lost. Who knows. While the lady was looking for this note she gave me two pieces of paper to fill out. You know, the typical stuff you get when you go to the doc for the first time. It takes no longer than 5 mins. After 3 mins I took the paperwork back up to the window to hand to the lady. Oh, and during the 3 mins I was filling out the papers she told us she couldn't find the note so she would have to rewrite something and wait for some other doc to come in to write a script for the MRI. She said he would be there in a couple of mins. So, I go to the window to hand the papers to the lady and she is not there. No, she is around the corner telling stories about her July 4th weekend and how terrible it was because she had to do so many things and they all went wrong. You know how they say don't bring your work home? Well, I don't think your should bring your home to work either. I stood at the windo for a couple mins before I realized this lady wasn't going to acknowledge me at all so I sat back down and left the papers there. 45 mins passed before she took one breath and poked her head around the corner. She talked non stop for 45 mins and did not do her job for 45 mins. Then when she decided to breath at the end of her little story and look around the corner she saw me and my trainer sitting there and guess what she said. "I'm so sorry I forgot you guys were even here...." Really?!?! Forgot we were even there!? I was pretty mad about that because this whole time I thought we were just waiting for the other doctor to arrive. No, he got there about 5 mins after I filled out the papers. Needless to say I was pretty annoyed by the lady at the window. To make matters worse I didn't even get the MRI yesterday like I was told! So I got up at 8 a.m. for nothing and sat in a doctor's office for an hour. No fun.
Today I actually did get my MRI done. Those tubes weren't made for adults. They are tiny! I have not gotten the results yet. I asked the guy who did it if he could have a radiologist or someone read it really fast so I can know if I am able to play or not instead of waiting until the team doctor gets back from vacation. Hopefully they let us know by the end of the day or tomorrow exactly what they saw because it has already been a week since I have played and I am really getting impatient. I want to play!!
