Physical Therapy is such a fucking scam, I went to the PT place at UD after getting a referral from student health (because the stupid “pain specialist” wasn’t scheduling until November).  The first time the PT examined me, she was doing all sorts of pushing and prodding on my back, highly uncomfortable and made the pain worst for a little bit.  Then I was suppose to go back a week later, but of course knowing me I got busy and didn’t go back until 2 weeks later, which was Friday.

I was hesitant about going back because I felt a lot better since the initial visit, but still had some minor aches and pains sporadically.  Well, I went, and it was total torture!  The PT was putting extreme pressure on my neck as a means of “examining it”, told her it hurt, but she went on anyway.  Told her it hurt a second time, she kinda brushed me off saying it’s normal, it’s just tight.  I’ve got some tolerance for pain, but I would have probably started crying if I wasn’t out in public.  Then she recommends some silly chin exercise and says I should come back once a week.  So I end up making appointments for the next 3 weeks, on Fridays no less!

Anyhow, go out Friday night even though I have head/neck pains, don’t even drink.  Saturday (today) rolls around and my neck is just in as much, if not worst pain than yesterday.  Plus my lower back is hurting too!  Fuck this scam, I’m canceling those appointments Monday, I’m not going back for what I think borders on patient abuse!

I’ve got jury duty in 7 hours, I actually planned on staying at my parents in Wilmington to avoid the morning rush hour, so I drove over tonight in the pouring rain (it was dry when I left).  Then 15 minutes before my graveyard shift starts, I realized I forgot my flipping RSA key!  So, back to Newark, and the Police blocked off 13 for some reason, they got really mad when I tried to detour around their cars in the middle of the road.  What a waste of resources, they put 2 cop cars (with a 3rd one that just came) to block off a road!  I thought that was what signs were for….

Anyhow, I did call the jury line earlier and they said I can’t bring cell phones, ipods, and other communication devices, but then they say they have limited space for laptops (no internet of course)!  Well, wtf ipods are a no no, but laptops are ok?  I guess I’m bring my laptop….
