I went to the Pain Management Doctor today. He works in a practice of several doctors. He looks like he's about twenty years old and he definitely has not outgrown his weird hair style looks from his teens.
I was asked a blue million questions today. It was all rapid fire and the ones about my back pain were asked in different ways over and over again. All they would have needed was a spotlight and I would have felt like I was in a police interrogation.
He is going to do two procedures to my back. One is a cortizone injection in my spine and the other is a block to my spine and will also involve a shot in the spine itself. I am not thrilled, but the alternative of living with this pain is grim.
He's also wanting to do some procedures to my knees and I've researched it tonight and I don't like the sounds of it. The reviews on Synvisc injections are horrible. I'll talk to the Orthopedic Specialist about it tomorrow. I trust the Ortho. I'm not sure I trust the Pain Specialist in that regard.
Are all of you ok? Are you nice and warm? The big blizzard bypassed me, but it's so very cold here.
Belle is doing really well, but she doesn't like the cold. She is now taking a nap on my heating pad. Don't worry, it's on low and goes off automatically.
I love you all.
