I turned on the tv and on the learning channel was a documentary about a three way liver transplant. A man was donating half his liver to another guy whose heart was weak. This second guy was donating his complete sub-functioning liver to a woman. Not exactly what I wanted to see. This afternoon I received a call from the doctors office asking me to make an appointment. At first this worried me but I remembered from before that its just standard procedure. With all the government crack down on healthcare spending, many doctors have stopped reporting test results over the phone. Instead, patients are forced to come in just so they can say "its negative" or "your results are good" and "there's nothing to worry about". That way they can officially bill that time to the government. I called back and made an appointment for this coming saturday. Then I scheduled a new ultrasound exam for wednesday so that the results would be sent to the doctors office before my appointment.

We got a brief taste of snow today. I'm not sure what I'll do if I have to keep driving the TL since I found out that my friend wants to borrow my truck for a few more weeks. It snowed lightly on the way to downtown. I trained at the kick boxing club after work even though I was really tired. It's been a long time and just the two women were still there. The dancer and the PhysEd student/horse jockey apprentice. They've been with the club for a few years. The other two people were newbies and made to train separately. I'm finding that the Muay Thai classes aren't able to keep their students while the ground fighting classes enjoy a relatively good steady attendance. I had been contemplating quiting the school though. The instructor asked me to kick the bag on my own after class since I hadn't been there for a while. It felt good.
