Session 15 - Is there a doctor in the house?

The laser thingamajigs

Well, the doctor was away today, and I really missed not getting my needles. Seriously. All said and done, we know that that is where the magic resides. I didn't get any yesterday, was hoping to get them today, and then have a nice easy day tomorrow as I got greenlighted for the MRI day after.

So now the scenario looks more like go in and get needles tomorrow and hopefully get greenlighted for the MRI for day after.

The clinic was really deserted of its patients today. Perhaps they'd heard the doc was going to be away, I'm glad I went though, as I got my share of magnet machine, Electromagnet for the knee, exercises, accupressure vibrator, current pads, and laser thingamajigs. All nice and civilized, without me having to shout in pain at the sight of those tiny needles. It went off so smoothly that I felt compelled to ask one of the physiotherapists, "Excuse me, sir, would you happen to have any Grey Poupon?" (old silly ad tagline).

On the way back, I felt a tinge of nostalgia for this place and its people. I know my stint isn't over yet, but I realized I enjoyed the bonhomie at the clinic and its easygoing attitude.

There is always gold, if you know how to look.
