Pain

Ok, ok, I have had about all I can stand… Went to my doctor, she took many x-rays of my knees and my left side… Did you know your rib had been broken? Yes, yes, I did… Severe arthritis has settled into injuries in my knee… Well, I should say knees, I had the left one operated on because of an injury… My right one is catching up fast. So she sent me to a pain management clinic at the hospital in Knoxville…

Several visits, applied for a tens unit for my knee, hope my insurance approves it, it sounds wonderful… They even sent me to a shrink named al, he said I’m not nuts, I asked if he would put that in writing so I could frame it, he just laughed… Told him I didn’t wanna die, I just wanna dance… They suggested physical therapy… The closest I can find is in Morristown, not bad, only 20 or so miles away…

They worked me over and suggested aquatherapy… How wonderful, have had one session so far, I was like a child in a bathtub, I didn’t wanna get out! Hahaha the pool was so warm and salty and she let me play an extra 1/2 hour as her next client didn’t show… Thank you for your kindness… So it’s hurry up and wait and hope things go well… I just want to be able to get around with less pain, that’s all…

I just want to dance in the sacred circle with Phoenix Joe mailyn come spring… That’s all… Creator be with us all…
