Needled
Yesterday was another day at the doctor’s office; the second of this week. The first was with my cardiologist who confirmed once again that I do have a heart and that everything was ticking along well.
This time, my appointment was with an orthopedic surgeon to get his insight into the cause of my neck ache. The diagnosis was not that great; but considering my age and spinal issues- no nasty comments needed about my age - LOL - it was not unexpected.
There is degenerative bone ‘disease’ related to scoliosis and osteoporosis. At my age, surgery is out of the question. The alternatives or combined treatments suggested were physical therapy and/or acupuncture. A referral was given for a therapist but not for an acupuncturist. It was not that the doctor did not believe in acupuncture but, rather, he had no one specific for providing that service. Fortunately, Joyce had been to an acupuncturist who is well respected by us.
So, it looks like that being needled is going to be part of my life. If you don’t get the point, I know I will. LOL
