Final check-up? No physio?
Today was another appointment at the hospital. Well, not all of today. It's not like today was purely concerned with the hospital appointment. It was just something in the morning. So yeah . . . I did some of my maths assignment (currently mathematical induction) whilst waiting around for my X-ray appointment. They did a couple more X-rays of the left knee before referring me to orthopaedics out-patients . . . which was oddly quiet. I think I was the only one there. I was soon seen by a doctor/consultant who said splint was no longer needed, no further check-ups were required, physiotherapy not necessary, and that I could begin cycling, albeit gently at first. He then repeated all of that into his dictaphone, throwing in some medical jargon for good measure and occasionally saying, "Stop!" or "New line!" as if it was a telegram or something . . . or maybe that's standard dictation stuff. God, I should know - I used to have a job where . . . no, but that was more transcribing interviews, not really dictation stuff. So yeah . . . that was good. Erm.
