To those who have stumbled upon this journal, I bid thee welcome and beg forgiveness. In the past this journal was (mainly) open to all. Certain lifestyle changes have made this impossible to continue, and so I have been obliged to f-lock everything. If you would like to be added to this, my personal journal, please comment and I will be happy to add you. If you are looking for fic, may I recommend my_young_friend ?
And yes, I do speak in this manner fairly often. Particularly when I've been reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This should provide some insight into the insanity you will find contained within.
Last week, I went to a local specialist hospital to the knee clinic. I only had to wait a few weeks between being referred and getting the appointment. The very nice and experienced doctor said that I might have a ruptured cruciate ligament and damage to the posterolateral corner. He said he'd send a referral for an MRI scan.
Now, four working days later, I have an appointment for Sunday.
No, really, Sunday.
How damned quick is that? And it's free! No paying $1400 dollars, or any insurance co-pay; just turn up, get scanned, go home.
Then, because I opted for a phone call, my consultant will call me when he gets the results to discuss treatment. This, he anticipated, would be at most a few days after my scan. It's almost ridiculous that, three years after I busted up my knee, less than three weeks after the initial appointment, I'll have a course of treatment laid out.

Anyone up for some serious beta-ing in the Criminal Minds fandom? I'm trying something I have never done before for karaokegal's Come As You're Not party and I'm gonna need some help.
Due to the nature of the challenge, I can't post anymore details on LJ, but leave a comment if you're interested & I'll PM you more details.
Happy Birthday of magnificent purveyor of wisdom and goodfic!
I hope you had a super-duper day, and beg forgiveness for not posting on taht most auspicious of dates. I plead travelling, airplane annoyances and forgetfulness!
