Doctors....Grrrrr

Why do they even Bother keeping notes....seriously?!?!?!?!!

I have bad arthritis in my knees, a youth of major klutziness and major growth spurt (due to another idiot doctors major fuck-up, different story, different post) lately it's been getting Majorly fucking bad...to the point where I am in 24/7 agonizing pain...I can't sit, stand, lay down, can't walk...I can't even get up from my chair or the fucking toilet!!! It just HURTS!! And with the knees being so bad, it is putting my hips, shoulders, neck, arms and back all out of alignment and causes more pain.  Most days I just want to die so I don't have to deal with the pain...but I have kids that I need to stick around for!!

Anyway...I FINALLY got in to see my "knee" doctor...it only took 3 1/2 months...quite a short wait really (how sad is that!!), so where was I?? Oh yeah, I Finally got in to see the doc, he sends me for xrays....just a quick trip to the hospital, get some pics done. This part I didn't mind as much. Then back to the office, another little wait in the over heated office.  I finally get into the little room with the doc and what happens...he mumbles something about how there isn't much change in my xrays....well he kinda says something like that. Then he starts to go on about how I'm too young for any knee surgery (I'm 47, 48 in 5 days) so I need to wait till I'm in my late 60's...

Let me clear this part up, cause it's one of the parts that Really, REALLY fucking pisses me off!! Right now, like I said I can't do anything...it just HURTS!!

Headlights...Too Bright??

What the hell is going on with Headlights these days????  Yes I Know the brighter the headlights the easier it is for the driver to see...makes total sense...and I really Want a set of those ultra bright, shows the whole world in front of my car lights....that is until I drive at night and have to deal with the traffic coming towards me!!!

Holy Flippin' Shit!!!  How do they expect us to be able to SEE???  It's like having needles pierce your eye balls with a nuclear blast of light following it up!!!  It has gotten so bad that I can no longer drive safely at night time.

Doesn't anyone out there realize how dangerous those bright lights are??  I live in British Columbia where we have Lots of curves...and really there is nothing worse than going around a curve in the dark and just when you reach the apex of the curve you get hit with the extra bright lights of some big truck coming towards you....you can't see anything, the road disappears...your eyes close and you swear you are now heading straight into the oncoming traffic...add in our winter weather (blowing snow) and you actually ARE heading into oncoming traffic...

Soooo, big question...just how bright is the auto industry going to make these headlights?? And how long before they start noticing an increase of night time accidents??
