With a $4 billion surplus in this province, you would think we could afford decent health care! Really, all I am asking for is a pillow ...nothing more than a fluffy, squishy, rectangular pillow. Is it that much to ask! I guess rampant budget cuts mean that the little extras, like pillows, will have to be sacrificed.
Long wait times are another unfortunate reality when it comes to doctor's visits. Granted, it wasn't too bad yesterday. I waited 1 hour at the walk-in clinic, 1 hour in the ER waiting room, maybe 1 hour to be seen by the doctor after getting into the ER, 1 hour for an ultrasound, 1 hour for the ultrasound results, 3 hours for a CT scan (which involved drinking over a litre of "contrast" solution... a glass every 15 minutes...ick!), and 1 hour for the results of the scan. Don't worry, I'm not going to die or anything....and I'm NOT pregnant... I can't believe you even thought that! LOL
Well, I hope you seriously think about this Ralph. Do you want to wake up with a sore neck the next time you end up having your stomach pumped? I mean...
Well, at least CT scans are still cool. So fast!

And in other exiciting news:
I've got my house! Horray! With this little jaunt to the hospital though, I'm just gonna take it easy at home for a couple weeks. More time to think over the decorating, etc.
This is ridiculous! Look!! City sheild of Mary Esther, FL.
A little information on my favorite veg:
Morning Glory
Water spinach is also called "Morning Glory" in Thailand and Asia. You can find it often at restaurants as fried morning glory. The vegetable is a very delicous vegetable with green stems and leafs. The stems and leaves are cut to pieces and then either used as a vegetable for soups or for fried vegetable dishes and served with oyster sauce. In Vietnam water spinach (morning glory) is almost a kind of national vegetable.
