Just got home from seeing Dr. Death.

[shilala]

I just finished a 300 mile doctor trip. The doc suggested some needles. I asked how many, and he said there'd be six, but he'd freeze my back.
My answer was "absolutely not". Then when I couldn't get off the table cause my back hurt so bad, I had the nurse go get the little guy and his needles.
It was both gruesome and excruciating. He dug around until I talked him into the lumps, then he loaded them up with burning goo, and smashed the lumps with his thumbs. Fortunately I had the good sense to pee before we got to work.
I think he did my hip, too, but I can't remember. After the second round I was sweating and praying too hard to remember anything.

His claim was that I had big calcifications on or near my hardware that were causing my problems. He fixed one side, the other is still touch and go.
I rode all the way home with my seat heater on max, now I gotta lay around on a heating pad all night to help the goo do it's magic.
If this doesn't take, I'm gonna sign up for another go next month. Next time I'm gonna get doped up beyond recognition before I get there.
