My hot dog almost took flight

cornerofmadnesstoday I had to run from work to one clinic to pick up my X-rays and to another to be seen in the meantime picking up books at the library and doing laundry so I stopped at Sonic's for a New York dog. Did I mention there were 50-60 mph winds today? As she passed me the dog the wind came. I managed to catch the dog as it took off but the forks embedded themselves in the car behind me. I think the napkins are in Canada by now.
The power here has died several wind related deaths too.
And did the book that I've had on hold for two months have to come the same day as another book? Oh well I'm NOT giving them back just like last time. If I need more than two weeks I'll just pay the fines.
So I like the new sports med/orthopedic surgeon. He was horrified by what happened to my hand (it IS a doctor's #1 fear) and hey he listened and EXAMINED me. He also read the x-ray the same way I did (as opposed to the other ortho). He's not sure that I DO have back issues and it really might be my hip. I knew I had subchondral cysts and joint narrowing, all signs of osteoarthritis but he also said something I've long suspected and pointed it out on x-ray (you could see he was curious how the other ortho missed it) I have Femeroacetabular Impingement CAM type. Basically the hip is a ball and socket joint and my ball is lumpy and deformed making it painful to walk (It's been like this my whole life).
He also thinks that the back pain and burning down one leg and numbness (been that way at least 20 years) in my thigh isn't back (though I DO have arthritis in my spine) he thinks it's lateral femoral nerve impingement..
I've already been through PT twice so he wants me to have a special MRI to really image it as he wants to avoid a hip arthrogram (it involves really long needles jamming into the joint and dye which is painful). He also wants to do an ultra sound guided steroid injection into my gluteus medius and gluteus minimus (i.e. the butt muscles you don't know). Hmm giant needles to the ass. Can't wait.
I'm just happy to have answers.
So about 2200 tonight's nano follows directly from last night's. Smoke jumped on the bed with him, turned around a few times and lay down.
“Guess you're friendly.” He reached out a hesitant hand and touched her. She was so soft and she didn't seem to mind his touch. There was something comforting about running his fingers through that fur. Kaleo kept it up, drifting off somewhere in the middle of it. A knock at the open door dragged him back to consciousness. Shyroth stood there. Devs, the man was good-looking. It wasn't fair to have him looking like that. Even his boring, conservative hair cut didn't detract from his attractiveness. Kaleo hadn't even realized he was partial to cleft chins, but there it was. Of course, it could be part of his training. How could he tell?
“Sorry to wake you. I have some clothing for you.” Shyroth said, hoisting a bundle. “So that's where Smoke went. I wondered.”
Kaleo ran his fingers along the horns arcing over her shoulder. “She watched me shower.”
“Sorry about that. She finds it fascinating so long as the spray doesn't directly touch her.” Aneurin smiled. Fuck, naturally he had perfect teeth, too. Devs, what a smile.

Date: 2015-11-19 08:08 pm (UTC)That's great you got a doctor who listened & is willing to work with you to find out exactly what it is that's troubling you! Your poor butt! The last chem I got a steroid shot in my foot, it went weird in that I felt an electric tinkling up through my toe in one direction & up through my leg in the other. XD I hope you have better luck with your hip!! *huggles*
Awesome snippet! :D

Date: 2015-11-19 09:04 pm (UTC)Okay that is weird that you'd feel it in the other leg. Hmmm I'd love to hook you up with an EMG to see what kind of neurologic arrangement you have.
Thanks
