Some new information...

The nurse at the back institute called me this afternoon. Apparently I wont be needing to go in today because Dr. Patel wants me to do physical therapy and they're going to have the medical company that has these "tenge units" call me. A Tenge Unit is going to send tiny electric shocks into the muscles in my back to relax them. That's fabulous. It doesn't cost me anything so that's good. She also told me that Dr. Patel took a closer look at my Xrays and it shows mild degenerative changes in the disks in my spine. AKA- one day...possibly soon... I will have arthritis of the back. Congratulations to me! So when I turn 25 I not only lose the ability to use my back but I also start losing pieces of my spine. WOW! Life is FABULOUS!
