Waiting

I managed to get my MRI done last night.  Late last night, partly because the MRI people had had to do an emergency scan earlier in the day; this messed up their schedule.  I ended up having to wait almost an extra hour in their waiting room... which had no chairs that fit me well enough to sit in.  This didn't help my back any.  Today has been a day of moving slowly and wearily, and being very careful of my back.

According to the neurosurgical office, my surgeon will call me if he sees anything of concern; otherwise I'll have a follow-up appointment in February.  This is not what I was told before, i.e., that I'd have a follow-up with him once he got the scan results.  I'll have to call his office sometime next week to sort things out.

I sent in an application for Para Transpo.  According to a note I got back today, they "cannot, without further clarification," register me for the service.  I called to ask what the problem was, and they asked me to ask my GP to call them to confirm her assessment.  It seems that one of their official categories, "[...] difficult for them to use OC Transpo's regular fixed-route service in the winter", is not actually enough to make me eligible for Para Transpo.  I'm not quite seeing the point here.
