I went outside to be greeted by a beautiful day and grabbed a coffee for the road. Still slightly hungover, I drank my coffee and listened to Jack Johnson's latest album and it made me want to just lay out on Gwangan for the rest of the day. But I had a doctor's appointment to deal with first. I'm completely used to the routine now. Visit my doctor's office, get a ticket for an x-ray, take two x-rays, go back and have a consultation with my doctor. That last part was different today. The foreigner aid of the hospital was waiting for me when I came back to my doctor's office. Apparently my doctor had quit so I have a new doctor.
He was a younger, leaner guy with a semi-perm going on. There was something weird about his glasses that gave me the impression he wasn't a genuinely nice person. One of those strict, genius kind of doctors. He showed me the x-rays and explained to our go-between that everything was good. He didn't seem to address me at all but poked around my clavicle pretty thoroughly. Then he pitched a curveball: he thinks I should consider removing the plate in my collarbone. Obviously a million red flags went up in my head. He didn't say to do it immediately, it should be done after a year. Based off this elaborate diagram he drew me my bone can become weaker due to the plate on top of it. I asked to have all my medical files emailed (first attempt failed) to me so I can consult with my Canadian doctor about what's in best interest. I paid my bill and left the hospital, that was the last appointment apparently too.
It was such a nice day I decided to swing by my school and do a little bit of work. I found out I have two new co-teachers, not just one, so that's exciting. I still have my space cadet but I'm quite fine with that. I did some remodeling in my library and made a list of things I need to do before my first class.
I hadn't been in the library for a long time because it isn't heated and my computer is from the stone age. I tidied up and found wads of students' work from my after school class. It got me thinking how my Grade 3s are going into Grade 5 in March! Man, time flies.
I decided to continue enjoying the nice weather and had a lovely two hour walk home and grabbed some kimchi dumplings from the market for my dinner. It's beginning to feel like spring. Now it feels like my dad's going to touch down in Seoul in no time at all.
After my dinner I watched the Season 6 Finale of SOA because on that long walk I decided to challenge myself and wrap up the series a la Fan Fiction. So I've made my lists, drafted up a couple new characters, made some question and will continue to thread everything together.
Today was a great day and is leading into what's looking like a whirlwind of fun for the next week and a bit.
