9/02/2004 ...I have to devote more time to this...but when I get in one of those " no time like the present" moods,there is like this huge list of stuff I want to write about...that I put off...and don't know where to start...so I guess I have to start at today, and then work my way back or forward, whichever way I am pulled. If I at least do today, I just might have a handle on ...IT...whatever it is... So today I went to see a doctor that is a "pain specialist" .I wondered idly if this meant he was a sadist, but, luckily, that was not the case. He kept me waiting an hour, which is sadistic in that, for me, is one of the more painful things I can do, just sitting. However, after meeting him and talking with him for about an hour, I became more and more impressed. He is basically trying to rid me of the pain, instead of just dulling the pain enough so that I can work 8 or 10 hours. He is putting me on an anti-inflammatory, a time-released pain medication instead of vicadin,which, after a year of use, I pretty much pretty much stopped using,unless I just couldn't put up with the pain anymore, and something to help me sleep more than 4 hours a night. He also gave me a script for some machine that uses vibrations to try to loosen up the musles around the affected area. A friend who shall remain nameless has been seeing this doctor for awhile now, and he gave her a "green card"-i.e., a prescription that allows her to grow up to five pot plants for personal consumtion. He He...please don't tempt me... posted by David | 9/02/2004 07:33:00 PM
