Ouchity ouch ouch

Today Dr. Truong did the platelet-rich therapy on my shoulder and left foot. The process is that my blood is drawn, spun down and the the platelets are injected into the injured areas. This promotes healing of the affected area that is much less invasive than surgery.

Upon ultrasounding my left shoulder, Dr. Truong pronounced that it looks like that of a 60 year old. wow. She really knows how to make a girl feel good. LOL

To start the process, I received a numbing shot in each spot ... the top of my shoulder and the bottom of my heel. OUCH! In both instance, it was very hurty and gave me tingles (not in a good way) straight up the limb.

Next came the platelet injection. While the area was numb it still hurt like hell. No pulling punches ... it was excruciating.

She said that I should see some marked improvement in my heal within a week and the shoulder in two weeks. I am sporting my new cam boot like a good girl. If I am not sleeping or showering, the boot must be on.

I have to take it easy for a few days and that should not be a problem as I work up a sweat just by walking to the next room. Hopefully the pain will fade fast.

Treadmill = zero (Doctor's orders!)

The contract and retainer for my lawyer hit the mail today. Hopefully we get to see the settlement agreement next week.

Thanks to Dansr for a MOST awesome beef stroganoff recipe for the crock pot. I made it today (finally) and it was scrumptious! Thank you lovely lady!
