I'm going to New York

I don't yet know when I'm going, but Dr. Jain of the Centers for Pain Management called me back and says he wants to see me.

A number of things (in my history) "are confusing," he says. "Come and let me look at you." He says the first question is an accurate diagnosis, and if that is okay, treatment should be "easy." I told him I was a bit concerned that I'd had several different diagnoses from different people so far.

He's unwilling to speculate on anything until he gets a look at me in person. I don't blame him, disappointed as I am at having no feedback yet. He did say he'd pursue "pharmaceuticals" heavily. Good for him if he can find any applicable stuff I haven't already had. :-)

I should come Tuesday or Wednesday and stay through Friday, planning to fly back on the weekend. Then I will likely be asked to come back in one or two months, depending. LaGuardia is closest/easiest.

Wheeeeeee... maybe.

oh wow! I am so so so incredibly excited at the idea that you might be able to be in less pain or walk more. That would be...yeah, a Beyond Very Good thing.

I think I've finally reached the point where I don't bother getting excited any more, but believe you me, if it HAPPENS, I'll be throwing one MONSTER big party!
