Human Frailty
Jan. 18th, 2006 11:15 pmThe best thing about today was not going to work & having a doctor's certificate for it...
Apart from getting a referral to an opthalmologist regarding the blocked ducts in the whites of my eyes & being told that I need orthotics in my shoes - both of which are not too bad in the scheme of things... although not cheap either... the worst thing is my hands. Current diagnosis is either carpal tunnel syndrome or some kind of tendonitis - in both of them. 2nd opinion to come after 4-5 days of anti-inflammatories.
Going blind & walking with a limp I can handle, but I need my hands!! Can't really play guitar without them... for which a grateful populace will doubtless flock to places of worship to give thanks to their relevant gods. Philistines! Bastards!!
Visited the father figure in hospital today - he showed me his new bandaged scars & seemed quite proud of the amount of tubes attached to him, but then, he was pretty out of it & in more need of sleep than company, so I left him to it. I'll check in tomorrow...
If Science Fiction were real, I'd want to be a Cyberman, or a Borg... or a Dalek. No pesky conscience & less flawed & deteriorating biological bits.
"Subsistence is futile"... "Replicate... Reincarnate!"
