Kids, cars, and kinetics, and common sense.

This has been a long week! Melissa got home safe and sound after her exam, but not without a little drama.

Melissa called me up from school and says to me, Daddy, the car won't start! I say, WTF!!!........( no, I don't talk like that to my baby.) I asked her what the car was doing? how does it sound? so I have her try to turn it over so I can hear over the phone. Ok it's trying to turn over I say. so while I'm trying to think of what to do? I say to her, lady! your going to have to get it toed! she said, I haven't any money? I say, well neither do I? what am I suppose to do? I tell her she will just have to stay up there until the weekend when her mother and I can drive up to bring her home, and so I can look at the car and maybe get it started. She says she can't because they close the residents down and kick everyone out. I say Huh? how can they do that? not all kids go home? Melissa says, those kids have to request to stay. I say well then request to stay!! She says it has to be in writing in advance. I say Oh.

So now I'm thinking hard at what to do? what it could be? Melissa said it was fine driving up, and she just parked it and hasn't touched it until now when she was getting ready to come home.

After thinking what to do? I tell her to push the accelerator with her foot all the way down to the floor and hold it there, then try starting the car, the car was turning over but not starting. Fine I said, let it sit a min. At that time I make a mental link with the car over the phone and in my mind i use my mental ability's and tell the car to start. My eyes get glazed over as my thoughts and kinetic energy is transferred over the phone to the car! Saying in my mind, start!..start!!...START!!!!....

When I was done, I tell my baby, ok try the car again. Melissa squeals! IT STARTED!! I said good! hurry home and drive safe. ......God I'm Good!! : )


Saw My Orthopedic Doctor Weds......

Wednesday I had my appointment to see my surgeon. Well there is good and bad news. the good news is the surgeon thinks with the next step I should get good enough to be pain free. What's the next step I ask? He wants me to get shock wave therapy for my foot. I said great! he said it's going to hurt, I said great?!?! So he give me a referral slip to the sports medicine place and says see me in 3 months. I asked about work? he said do you have a desk job? i said no? he said I'll see you in 3 months.

I left the hospital to go to the clinic to set up an appointment for the shock wave therapy. When I get there, I ask will there be a long wait to get in? the manager said no, I can get you in this Friday. I said great! She then said that'll be $800 please. I said WTF! whatchu talking about willis? She said the treatment is $800 paid up front, I said well this treatment is for my foot since I opted out of getting surgery my medical plan should cover it? she said no OHIP doesn't cover it, but if you have medical from work it should cover it....but you need to pay Up front.. I said I haven't got that kind of money to pay up front! I don't even have a credit card to pay with either? what am I going to do? She said check with your medical plan to see if they cover it.

I went home and called work to find out, they said yes, I am covered for Physio Therapy, but on a per visit basis and it is unlimited, I said will you pay the $800 if I front the money some how? the lady said we will pay for each visit to the PT when you send in the receipt, but not the treatment. I said to her, you will pay for the doctor? but not my treatment? She said I guess so? So I say, boy is this ever stupid!!...

So now it looks like I won't be getting my treatment because I can't afford to pay for it, and when work asks why I can't go back? I'll just tell them because INS won't pay for my treatment, because they would rather pay my wage to stay home infinitely then pay for my treatment?!? Duh!

All I can do now is sit this out, collect my cheque every month, until Ins decides to come to there senses to help me out to pay for my treatment, so I can get back to work.


For now I'm going swimming.
