Not my favorite way, but with all the doctor visits I’ve been having lately, I should get over my white-coat syndrome terror of they-who-wear-stethoscopes!
When my regular doc’s take-Advil-and-take-it-easy advice had zero effect on my screwed up non-melanoma knee, I went to DH’s chiropractor to see if he could work some magic on Monday. My knee still hurt, but my back felt fabulous! Then yesterday it was way worse, like I couldn’t make it all the way down the driveway to get the mail.
But today, knock on wood, the pain finally seems to be backing down. I was getting worried about stressing out my mm leg and popping the scar open! And of course, still lurking in the back of my mind is “bone mets. Must be bone mets.” Saw Dr. Joe again and got cracked in about 20 places, lectured on my bad posture and non-ergonomic workspace, and inundated with ortho pillows to try to keep me from killing my back slouching around in my favorite chair.
I’m really hoping that with icing, exercises, and rest it’ll back to normal by Sunday, because I have to go to a conference in Seattle next week and hate to think of trying to hobble around a convention center.
So, tomorrow I have the eye doc, then Dr.s Joe and Tanabe (surgeon) on Friday. Then hopefully I will be doctor-free for a while. No offense to the docs, but I’d really, really like that!
