It's going to be a long day of doctor appointments. I already finished one and found out what I already knew: that last weeks x-ray's showed heel spurs. I guess what was good enough for Joltin' Joe is good enough for me.
But I also discussed my back with the doc. I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a kid but was told it was too mild to be treated. Eh, that reeks of bulls**t in hindsight, but either way its gotten much more pronounced lately. The doc checked my spine, noted a curvature to the right, rattled off some Latin into his digital recorder and said "Your left side is shorter, correct?"
"Left side of what? My whole left side? I don't know, I've never measured."
He nodded briskly. "It is shorter. Note how your left shoulder sits below your right. You must go for x-rays."
So in a few minutes its back out to West Allis to get the ol' spine zapped.
Meanwhile, Lisa has developed an abscess above a troublesome tooth, which is naturally a concern for us all. Oh, and all three of the older kids have scheduled physicals for this afternoon and I'm supposed to drive to Pewaukee this evening to pick up a new couch.
Fun times, fun times.

I'm in pain just reading your entry. I dealt with an absessed tooth not long ago so I feel for her. Also, years ago I had a spur on my heel that required surgery. No problems since but I know how they hurt. Good luck with the back and don't be lifting couches.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Joyce
Yuck. Sounds like a horrible day to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Lisa's feeling bad. Give her a hug for me, will you? And let her know I'm going to try and save up for a NKOTB concert in Ohio...maybe we can meet up.
Hang in there. The day is coming to a close.
XOXO
