Default wishing you luck

With your SI joint injection and the CT scan. I have not been to that Kaiser in ages (used to have Kaiser long ago when first moved to CA). A friend of mine up north goes to that one regularly and far prefers it to the Southern CA one she was going to here when living down South.

I don't know how far Oakland is from where you live but a schlep is a schlep.

Regardless, good luck. It should stop amazing me at the pain that keeps coming because too many are in the same boat but enough already. Hopefully, by the 21st things will be looking up.
