freaky friday
today, after weaks of teeth-grinding anticipation, i finally received the scheduling call from the hospital's surgical department, regarding the target date for installation of my new "functional upgrades."
a distant, well enunciated, though slightly accented (slavic) voice on line suggests that 5/23 is the earliest date they can fit me in:
"though, i believe we maybe have cancellation on 13th may. would you be interested in that, if available?"
sure. please. anytime. as soon as possible. call me. i want to get it over with. i am desperately ready. to. move. on.
so, i hang up, open my calendar to pencil it in... 5/13. friday. friday the thirteenth. no wonder they think they'll have a damn cancelation. (rolls eyes)
