A two-hour hike on the Bruce Trail on a beautiful cool fall day, ending with warm prime rib and vegetable leftovers for dinner after getting home.  :heart:

Arriving at emergency at Ottawa General and going from front door to exam room within 15 minutes.  Blood taken, primary exam and chat with nurse, waiting to see doctor.  Note to self -- get new GP because current one did nothing to help with illness and prescribed meds that almost caused anaphylactic shock.

Is Ottawa General,  the heart hospital in Ottawa?

Finding a good GP will not be easy thing to do  :(

looks and sounds like a blast force. that robert guy use a go-gart from a carnival? maybe take a nap during his mandatory stop?  anyway, good job!

guess that's good news scaerio... trips to er's rarely are, but if it got to the bottom of an issue, worth the trip for sure. plus, a quick er stop is like a unicorn...

went to see a doctor yesterday for sinus infection.   super quick in-n-out.   the doc seemed like a nice guy. 



unhappy part (i don't want to add another post to unhappy thread) is, i got sinus infection...

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

It means that this is what the geologists "think" the rock quality and structure "looks" like at a specific location underground....at a +/- 50% level of accuracy  :rofl2: So lets go to the street looking for $700M based on that assumption  :)
