I don't have a lot of other options for local doctors - I blew through all of them prior to surgery so I've got to be a good patient.

My point is that I have been going 2-3 X's a week for therapy already at this doctors request with no relief. I have doubts that any one therapist (even if he is the best therapist in town) is going to make any more of a difference on someone with such a bad spinal history.

I really want to get moving on any other diagnostics. I think I just need to understand more of what I need and press him for those tests. But now I don't even have it left in me to make calls, ask for reports, get appts etc.

I had to call my husband home from work today because I couldn't take care of my kids. I had to call my girlfriend in to come fix my girls up for their dance recital because I couldn't do it myself. It took everything I had to go to the recital with a smile on my face.
