I better explain the whole world record attempt by my hubby.
Here one of my goals in my Bible study is
to not blurt out all sorts of goodies about my husband’s health and that works
until my second sentence of my blog. According to most experts, that would be
classified under dismal failure. I’m studying Proverbs 31 about characteristics
of a good wife. You might as well forget the prudent part. Anyway, enough with
my gloomy goals, on to the multiple doctors.
In the past two weeks, Bob has seen his regular dentist and
well as a peridontist. He got to have a double root canal. I guess Bob is the
prudent one for he wants to get two for the price of one. He has an orthopedic
surgeon for his foot where he got his little buttons. (The doctor even said he is laced up like a turkey. Maybe that explains
his weird walk.) They want him to go see another neurologist. That was the
wish of his physiatrist. (How many of you
out there have a physiatrist? How many of you out there have even heard of
physiatrist?) Bob also had a
visit with his primary care specialist. (They
all like to add specialist to their titles so they can then pad their bill
accordingly.) Plus I can’t forget his pain doctor from yesterday. (They wonder why we get confused with all
the names and dates!)
I also saw the pain doctor yesterday. We try to get in on
the family plan to save money. He decided to give me some occipital blocks to
try to reduce the headaches and some of the vertigo. (My number of falls is way up there again, particularly at night when
walking the dog. I’m waiting to be picked up by the police for intoxication.)
This is the first Bob got to watch. He normally hides out in the waiting room. (I figured he should get a peek to help my
future worthiness on that Proverbs wife thing.) I got a total of eight
shots in my scalp not counting the numbing medicine. I was without a headache
for about four hours, and then it bounced back in full force. If my head is
supported, the room slowly settles around me instead of spinning out of control
but it is proving difficult to walk around with the couch velcroed to my head.
That’s our doctor update. At least we get out of the house
this way. Oh, to save you looking up the word on www.dictionary.com the definition of a
physiatrist is a doctor of physical medicine who concentrates on
rehabilitation. At least this blog is helping your vocabulary.
God Uses My Chronic Pain to Prove that Life is Good
- Life is surely good for all those doctors with increased
revenue and then there is the double bonus of an increased vocabulary.
