On the collision report and a probable move

After a frustrating weekend of waiting, came a frustrating morning of waiting in an uncomfortable wheelchair for an appointment about a suspected allergy to a certain class of antibiotics that probably could have been done remotely. The only thing that I actually did there was sign a form. Also, it meant I didn’t get a physio session today.

While I was waiting, I received a PDF of the police report regarding the collision. To start with, the form shows the reality of traffic collisions in New Brunswick as there is a box to tick off if a moose was involved. (I am not going to muddy the waters by asking the RCMP to change the report given my identification with moose. ;-) ). From the address of the driver, I was able to use Google Maps to see that he lives in a trailer home. I was further able to determine that public transport doesn’t serve the trailer park. I sincerely hope his license is permanently revoked.

I did see my physio who had a lot to discuss with me. Most notably, she wanted to discuss me moving to the Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay-de-Montréal. She said it has a very good reputation and an integrated team of specialists. I had been already been accepted while I was at the General pending my ability to put weight on my leg. She said it was my decision whether or not to go. My answer was: “My feelings are 90% yes! The other 10% say sleep on the decision.” 

When I will go there depends on whether they held a slot open for me. It sounds very complete, both physical and psychological services being offered while there and afterwards.
