I had my procedure today and I’m sore and freezing as I’m sitting on an ice pack.
The procedure itself went well, but the porter parked my wheelchair to sit across from me and lecture me. I guess based on us meeting five minutes earlier he knows my body and condition better than me or my doctor.
I am used to people being weird with me and I can usually handle that. Today I was sedated, exhausted and in no position to tell him off and walk away.
Why would this guy think I care what he thinks? What would possess him to prolong things to lecture me about my condition and then think I’d possibly consider taking his medical advice.
A healthy diet is never a bad thing. However, it can’t fix decades of joint damage. I also don’t want to be lectured about being more active when I’ve just had some of the nerves at the base of my spine burned out so I can sit and walk without crippling pain. These procedures allow me to work and walk without a cane.
Oh and fish oil pills. I am still sedated, but I’m sure I will be super angry tomorrow.
