Well, it's been an interesting 24 hours. This morning was an experience and a half. Knee buckling kinda pain that just about sent me to the floor. This would be a good reason to consider ringing the physician--which I did.
That's always a fun thing.
New doc, newly added to the small community practice. Open the file, leaf through pages--I was holding my breath hoping I didn't get the "I think I ought to refer you to your other physician". I don't like being passed off just cuz my history makes me physicians nervous! And the only reason that history is IN there is cuz those folks did blood draws and treated me when they consulted with the oncologist cuz the oncologist was clear he didn't want me driving for an hour.
BUT----
She didn't pass me off!! Fact is, I liked the woman.
She didn't make me lay down on that stupid table thingy either--left me standing and asked some questions, gave a look and feel to my back and we had a conversation. That was very nice! I left with a muscle relaxant and pain pills (narcotics which I told her weren't necessary--which she assured me were necessary IF I was having troubles breathing without being in pain). She called to get me in for an MRI and I was outta there.
Boy....thank goodness it's an entirely different thing tonight than it was this morning. I'm mad about missing a day of work with the kiddos over some stupid pulled muscle (which is what it's appearing like at this point). Oh well!!
I'm still smarting--but I can sit and breathe and MOVE.
Stupid compost.......okay--stupid ME.
