A little earworm to start your day.
I'm up early today for a doctor's appointment. I'm trying out the pain management clinic to see if they'd be willing to prescribe me Tramadol. I don't really want to, because pain management clinics exist to dehumanize people who need long-term medication. On the other hand, they might be willing to unload some lidocaine in the joint, and I'm excited for that. We'll see how it goes. I've got my MRI report, and my images, so hopefully, that'll be enough to prompt them to help me out.
Thank you all for your input on my Wednesday ortho visit. As suggested, I'm going to get a second opinion, and see what they say. My brother in law recommended his ortho, so I may try them. I have an appointment in two weeks, but if they can get me in sooner, that would be awesome. I'm going to hold physical therapy until after that appointment just to be sure that it's okay to do. I don't want to start it and injure myself more.
I ended up cancelling the game for tonight. I just did not have the spare brain power to get that done in the 2 hours I'll have this morning. Somehow, my braincells have deserted me. I'm trying to be gentle with myself, but I do feel slightly guilty about it. Fortunately both yesterday and Saturday's games were written months ago, so there's not as much pressure.
Tomorrow, we shall have our acupuncture consultations. I'm a little nervous about it, just because I've never had an accupuncture treatment, so I don't know how it'll work for me. My appointment is at 9, and Jess' is at 11. It's right near the mall, so we can always go piddle around while the other person is having their consultation. Set me loose in Wegmans, it'll be great. I'll come out with 20 cheeses and some fig jam. We have a game at 2, which could be tight, so I may see if we could push it back to 2:30, just so we don't have to rush as much.
Okay, time to put on pants and do the pain management balance. Look good enough that I'm respectable, but bad enough that I look like I need help.
Everyone have an amazing Friday! You're almost to the weekend!
