ENHANCED BOREDOM

We all get bored at some point. But usually it isn't hard to change that. I'm usually like that too. However, the current situation isn't allowing a break from the boredom. The inability to fully use my hand is limiting what I can do period let alone occupy my brain with hobbies and interests. And am slowly having similar symptoms in the other hand. Which is either an extension of what's happening or is due to the new overuse because it's been picking up the slack. Even typing this on my phone is aggravating something. But, literally nothing else to do.

Video games, drawing, or even writing my own name is near impossible. Video games are slightly possible based on which game. Ironically, if this is MS, video games are actually part of the rehabilitation process to regain hand dexterity. I actually find humor in that. "Why are you playing video games? You're 35 years old." To which I simply reply, "Because the doctor said so!".
This leaves me with movies and television. Movies are hard as once I've seen a movie I tend to do things like write or draw when I watch again. Ok not tend to, it's what I do. And with television, season is ending for the shows I can bare to watch. Which is really limited to nerdish things. Mainly wrestling. Which is a future entry in itself as things are horrible right now on many levels and fronts. Organization and direction. But again, for a future entry.
I am itching to restart the workout regimen or even begin a rehabilitation program but can't really do either until at least knowing what is up. Which could be a number of things. Singular or possibly a couple of issues happening at once.

I have zero idea in how to pay for the schooling, but a positive from all of this is that physical therapist is appealing to me. It would almost be like combining the nerd and athlete within. I'm a libra so I love (and hate) things that balance. Stay Nerdy!

PROPS TO THE DOCS

Not as people, those props depend on the person. But props for ability to learn and use that knowledge. As it is endless and ever evolving.

Take my current situation. All of my symptoms lead to it being......a long list of possibilities. Even with my being able to pick which best describes what I'm experiencing, the list is lengthy. And it comes down to the MRI to help even just locating where the problem is. Then add that my lifestyle and habits both help and hinder the diagnosis. As they all lead to a variety of problems that all share symptoms yet different areas.
And that adds to the props as it has been quite fascinating finding out that a brain or spine issue shares same issues as a problem in the shoulder or wrist. Yep, something like MS (multiple sclerosis) shares a lot of similar symptoms with things like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Frustration has been ample the last few months. None of that really lays with the doctors. That's falls mainly on my country. But even then it's the wait time I'm enduring. There may be more MRI machines in Pittsburgh than all of Canada, but I get tested for free. Annnd the wait time frustration is being in the unknown and not knowing what to do. Can I rehab something while I wait? Is this a total rest issue? Should I be active but not anything with a certain area? Or is it something where it simply doesn't matter?

The good news is that it's been two months and only a month to go for the MRI. But, if something that requires a neurologist, I'm left waiting until November. Again, free but about four more months to go. Guess all I can do is....stay Nerdy!

CANUCK WRESTLERS I WASN'T AWARE WERE CANADIAN

There are the obvious, well know Canadian wrestlers, like Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, Edge & Christian. But, there are and were so many more. Some of these people I didn't even know were fellow Canadians, and given their "Legend Status" I am a little bit embarrassed haha While some it wasn't my fault (no, Snitsky isn't one) given the way they were promoted character wise or which background was "shown" to the public.

John Tenta/Earthquake/Shark/Golga

This discovery came with my wanting to finally know who was under the mask, who was Golga. Which of course led to the late John Tenta better remembered as Earthquake.

Abdullah The Butcher

His legend may have been tarnished at the end of his career, but couldn't believe Abdullah was a Canuck.

Fake Razor Ramon/Rick Bognar

Hey yo, the Fake Razor gimmick may have been his peak, but was interesting to find out about another Canuck in wrestling history.

Carlito And Primo

These guys are half-Canadian through their mother, and example of thinking they were "only" Puerto Rican due to how they were presented to us. Makes sense given their father was the wrestler, but interesting to see.

Steve Corino

Again, didn't get to see much of Corino but was aware of him. His Canadian roots, I was not.

Ronnie Garvin

A legend I had no clue was Canadian. Always came across as American to me as a kid.

Dink The Clown

Not a prominent player in the game, but memorable...for some of us.

Rocky Johnson

With Tony Atlas they became the first black Tag Team Champions. But, what is more interesting for me, is that he is Canadian ergo making Dwayne aka The Rock half Canuck.

Ivan Koloff

Didn't see much of his career, but his name is almost always mentioned. And given the Russian gimmick, I assumed Russian and not Canadian.

Little Beaver and Sky Lo Lo

Had no idea the two biggest LP in wrestling history were Canadian.

Jinder Mahal

Beyond his time in 3MB, didn't care as much for him. But, Knowing now he is a Canadian, would've been nice to see him at least continue in a jobber-esque role.

Kurrgan

Another Odity member who is Canadian. But, I remember him more from his small role in RDJ's Sherlock Holmes.

Santino Marella

Although entertained by the comedy route, was always annoyed they never let Santino show his inring skills. Knowing now he is Canadian, I understand. We're athletic and funny as hell.

The Missing Link

Can only remember images of him, but as a child he looked like a legit badass. Apparently, a Canadian badass.

Lanny Poffo

Should've known a person with The Genius gimmick would be a Canuck. Only born here though, but being Macho Man's little brother makes that okay.

Stan Stasiak & Shawn "Meat" Stasiak

Only knew of his Stan's career, and didn't care much for Meat (whether in WWE or WCW). But, it is interesting to find out about their Canadian roots.

Vampiro

Honestly, haven't followed him since WCW died out. Last heard he was doing his thing on the indies last I heard. I did think he had a cool concept, that needed WWE and not WCW behind it.

Viktor (The Ascension)

Not really been much since moving to the main roster, but that is likely Vince not knowing people like tag teams. Regardless, glad to see another Canuck in WWE.

Rosa Mendes

Well, they can't all be as gifted as Trish Stratus.

Rhonda Sing/Bertha Faye

Like Medusa (aka Alundra Blayze), can't remember much about her WWF career (women's wrestling was uber back burner then), but she was memorable regardless.

Rowdy Roddy Piper

Saved the best for last. I am a bit ashamed that I wasn't aware that Hot Rod was Canadian. I knew he had wrestled through here, as Canada did have some legit territories. I just assumed he was from the USA, and showcasing his Scottish heritage. Now the argument for greatest Canadian wrestler of all time has changed.

There are some others, but they just didn't do too much (in my opinion of course), or I missed them in the search. Again, this all came from wanting to know who Golga was under the mask. Although I am a bit embarrassed by having not known these people were Canadian, I am glad I know now. Still shocked that Piper was a fellow Canadian, and like I said the discussion on who is the best Canadian wrestler of all time is different now. Bret is likely the majorities vote, but knowing about Piper's roots makes for an interesting argument.
