Yesterday I aced my driving test (narrowly avoided potentially hairy bit at the end aside) and found out I'd got loads of funding for my masters in a years time.
Today I went to the hospital, had an ultrasound scan thing.
Bad: They said I'd need a CTC scan, which I could get next week, but would make me miss Canada.
Good: Just as I was getting changed to leave, they knocked on the little changing room door to tell me someone hadn't turned up for their appointment, and they could to the CTC immediately.
Bad: I looked at the lazer beam, then read the notice saying 'do not look into the lazer beam'.
Good: The machine was like a cross between a giant polo and a washing machine. Which was.. nice.
Bad: They think I have something with a very long name I forgot, which is a lump of bone-type tissue growth, covered with a layer of cartilage tissue growth, which will have to be removed in surgery, and according to the doc (not me), 'even if we did it today, you wouldn't have recovered in time for your flight' (Canada)
Good: I get the result on monday, and they might be wrong, and it's all completely harmless and will go away on its own.
Bad: That's almost definitely not going to happen.
Good: It's probably benign
Bad: I lose all the money I paid for my flight and stuff
Good: I should be able to get it back on my travel insurance
Bad: The nurse said the whole thing would probably take 'a couple of months'
Bad: If I'm not in Canada by the end of December (in a couple of months) I lose my visa entitlement.
Short version for people who couldn't be arsed reading:
I have a lump that'll need amputating, which will either delay or totally prevent me going to Canada.
And they said that if I ignore it then in 10 months (when I'd come back) I wouldn't be able to walk.

Yeah, I guess it's not going anywhere. It's just.. I have until next september under my visa, and the longer this takes the less time will be left.
But I still get to go.
I'm optomistic about the lump though - hopefully it'll be a simple enough operation (for me anyway!), then I'll be as good as new.

Seriously however, like everyone says Canada will still be there, it won't be blew up in a nuclear war or anything, because then the USA would contaminate their own country.

I guess better sooner than later you get it over with, besides Canada will always be there for you to visit.
Hope everything works our ok for you.
P.S: I have been under the polo/washing machine thingy that you describe... Only I didnt look at the laser

Do you have to be in Canada for a special reason? Like, urgently? Like NB said, it'll always be there for you to go if you can't make it this time.
Congrats on passing your driving test too! It's nice to balance out the good and bad things in your life. If you didn't have anything good happening, you'd probably lose all hope.!
But congrats!! ;)

Bit of a bummer.
However our plan to keep you here worked.
Seriously mate, hope your OK. I've never known anyone with that, let alone have it myself, but I guess it is pretty scary.
Canada will still be there though. And you get to walk. Which is always a bonus.
