Roadblock

I saw my family dr. last Wednesday for a very painful knee. He has recently become a sort of 5 minute dr. So he diagnosed a sprain, tossed me a handful of Celebrex samples and started to get up to leave. I quickly asked for a physical therapy prescription in case I did not improve.


he quickly wrote one and refused to give me anything for pain, saying "The Celebrex will take care of that." It didn't, so I called the office the next day to request pain medication, which I got. After 5 da

Exercise):

My depressed self says just stay in bed. My diabetic self says sign up at the Y for a personal trainer. I will never do it alone,even tho it won't be cheap.
