be very seriously considering grabbing my bat and going with you. However,

hysterical laughter and swinging a bat would likely result in a torn tendon or

some other stupid thing so I will just have to stay home in Oregon and smirk to

myself that I wish I'd have thought of that. I may even throw that one at my

doctor next time I see him! I wonder if he'd begin to understand then, and

realize that that is how cruddy I feel with all the meds I do actually get!

I have my 14 gauge needle with 120 cc ready to stick anywhere and as I do,

Sweetly say, " It doesn't hurt here, does it? "

Is this the place it hurts? Oh, only one more time to stick, and oh, you know

this will hurt more the first week but will get better,

get take your medications even though I didn't give you a stronger medication

since it hurts more. "

Then the staff says, Is it better yet? Oh sometimes it takes several times and

if does not, we can do a trigger point injection, if that does not work we will

just inject in there with some abrasive solution to break up the scarring so we

can stick you again because we have scarred you so much for sticking everywhere.

Don't worry the insurance pays for these and you don't have to worry about it "

* I always tell the male doctors to step close to my foot as I have a good-foot

reflex that might kick them in the wrong place. Not misbehaving, just off topic.

So, I would be there with you : ) Bennie
