So like all things related to the government I got the call from VA to come to the base for a medical checkup on a pensioned condition. So off Polly and I go and for the 3 time in the 19 years I have spent in Kingston there was a BDF going. I guess you need to practice to keep the skills up 
.
So I get to my appointment and Brian from VA has the paperwork ready to go and fill out and in I go to see one of my old Dr’s. So after 10 mins of conversation he apologies for wasting my time as it seems that the outcome was already decided but he needed a few additional facts.
He asked if I was taking meds for the conditions which I had to say no as due to other meds and conditions made it risky to do so. He couldn’t believe thats the instruction given to me but it was in writing so he had to shake his head.
So after telling me on which options I had and the best way to proceed he looks at my hand and gives me some help of what to do till I see the surgeon again.
Then a review of my medications peaks his interest where he notices that a drug that I am taking is famous for inflicting Gout, more good news but I have to wait till early Nov to get the prescription changed.
So he states that despite dizzy spells and other side effects I am going through that I need some fresh air, so off to the point where it takes me 40 mins to walk a km., well limp actually but I got this shot off and came home to drain my hand and relax for a bit.
Don’t think a trip to Ottawa on the weekend is going to happen unfortunately but at least I am starting to come around a bit and I am finally on the road to some type of recovery.
So today I found this site Lots of great information here of photography.
