Incredibly busy week. Early in the week. In addition to new fires to fight at work, I went to a physical therapy appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was with a doc from the same med group that includes Georgetown. Try and stay in-network as much as possible, and this was branded as from that group. great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paratransit out wasn’t a real big deal, but I got there very early because of the way that they schedule the rides. The appointment went well enough, I suppose. The therapist was very nice, and I was looking forward to the prospect of working with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I set up the appointment, it looked like it was gonna be ten bucks per session. So, ten for the time there, and whatever it’s going to cost me to get to and from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Towards the end of the appointment, the administrator came in and said that, no, it wouldn’t be ten bucks, but forty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still doable. Rides would add another ten, but whatever. They do have late-in0the-day appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, she wants to do twice-per-week. Fine. Whatever. I’ll do it. I want to live a bit more like a normal person. Agree to a preliminary schedule, and set out for home, which took nearly two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Um.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeah, this probably isn’t going to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*STFW*<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, there’s this other place that’s close. Like if the weather is okay for me, or just about any day for a normal person, it’s walkable. I should be able to swing an hour session without too much trouble, and not miss too much work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n the therapist for this one is a Tidewater girl. York Co. K-12. ODU for undergrad. It’s close enough that my wife can get me there most days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still expensive, but I guess I’m ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She recommended the type of cane I should get next, and recommended a walker. Um.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’d pushed back on the walker so long as I’m working. Want me with a walker, or in a chair? Okay. then I’m finished working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I could hang it up pretty much anytime I choose, but I think I still have a few things I can do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still thinking of what’s transpired with the politics stuff. The Mises-fied LP candidate could be someone I hold my nose and vote for if it looks like the Duopoly have the Commonwealth locked-up. (“Locked-up” is a phrase both the President and Vice President really, really, really like….)<\/p>\n\n\n\n A couple of Honestly<\/em> episodes really got me, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first being the interview with Javier Milei<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
