Haven't been here to write in a few days. Still feeling a lot of spine and rib pain so finally broke down and made a doctor appointment for Monday. As I told the office person when I called in, I don't expect him to do anything for me, but it is more of a matter of letting him know what is going on and making the notation in my file. He's a pretty good guy, but my case has been a bit of a test for him. The natural inclination of doctors is to diagnose and subsequently come up with a remedy. In some cases the remedy is illusive, if non-existent.
Wednesday I have carpal tunnel surgery so it is going to be an interesting time. One day at a time.
