I got up so early this morning that I confused the lightening bugs that were still hovering around outside.  They were like “yo dude, we better get to bed!”  Remind me not to make physical therapy appointments for like 8am anymore (instead I scheduled next week’s for 8:15am).

so yeah, i’m in round two of therapy on what is now deemed an elbow problem.  After my 2nd cortisone shot last week, I’m throwing everything at it this time to try and heal it up.  You’re only allowed 3 shots before they have to do surgery… so now I’m back to the therapist, and I’m gonna throw in some accupuncture to boot.

I also got this fat (not phat) arm band I have to wear for the tendanitis.  Think a Livestrong bracelet, only ten times the thickness, not as cool, and in black.  beautiful.

So today the therapist did some total quack shit to me.  I went in expecting more strengthening exercises like we had for the shoulder.  but oh no… instead he put two elctropads on me and hooked me up like i was a car battery and he was gonna give me a jump.  on one of the pads was some medicine stuff (dexamethasone??) that he was going to be “shocking into” my arm.  wtf?!  yeah that sounds like legit science to me….

and then when that was done, he told me I had to leave one of the pads on for an hour… which has this little metal nub on it.  So now I either look like I am part cyborg, or I have a shiny metal third nipple sticking out of my elbow.

anyways, I’m off to see Year One today… will be back with a brief 2 word review later.
