More Eblow stuff.

This is what I had done yesterday An injection of autologous blood.

The injection was more painful than the Cortisone shot. It's pretty sore.

Acupuncture

Today I got Acupuncture on my Elbow. (YES I'm still fighting Tennis Elbow.) Tonight was the first visit of I hope to be only a few.
Getting stuck with needles is very relaxing.
Acupuncture is how Robert & I quit smoking.

Update on my Elbow.

I went to the Orthopedic specialist today. I got stuck in the doctors office for two hours.
Dr. Hix swears that even after months of trying different things that it is Tennis Elbow. (You know you're getting old when your all your doctors are younger than you......& this doctor is cuuuute!)
After a discussion about why he thinks this & the REMOTE possibility that is is anything other than Tennis Elbow. we decided on another Cortisone Shot.
As many of you remember my family doctor gave me one of these months ago. That shot did not hurt much in fact it was funny to me because the lidocane made my arm numb & I laughed all the way home.
I told Dr. Hix to go ahead. I was not expecting the pain that ensued. HOLY CRAP! That was the most painfu thing I've experienced to date. AT this moment it is still throbbing like a toothache, not to mention it made my elbow three times too big.
If this works, I should be mad at all the money I've thrown at this in the interim between shots..(Physical Therapy 6 visits at about $135.00 a pop!, Thank god for insurance!) if it makes the constant pain go away, I will do a happy dance! Wish me luck.

More elbow work today.

I had physical therapy on my elbow today, the cortisone shot did not take. I now have a regiment of stretches, ice, & rubbing. Once again I have to lay off the Guitar Hero *GRRRR* & lifting at the gym.

I heard this song today. I like it. But I've never really heard of this band

Of A Revolution.

O.A.R. - Hey Girl (Video)



"Hey Girl"

I took this girl out last night and we left around 12,

We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,

I like to read - she likes to write,

She likes to sleep - and I like to stay up all night,

My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,

But that's okay cause that the way she likes to be

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go

Well we went out late that night and we danced through the night

I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight, she was

But she didn't care, I didn't mind

I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,

My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,

But thats okay cause thats the way I like to be

I say

Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go-oh,

Just let yourself go

Later on that night I took her home,

I asked if she felt alright being alone

So I went inside, she didn't mind,

Took two to decide that I wasn't going home tonight

I see we're both crazy, that's alright with me,

The night was kind of hazy that's the way it's gonna be

I say now

Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go,

Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go-oh,

Just let yourself go, go, go-oh,

Just let yourself go, go, go-oh...

Let yourself go

Cortisone shot!

I got my Cortisone shot yesterday. It was not too bad, not worse than any piercing I have. It was cool they put Lidocaine in with the Cortisone. I drove home laughing at myself & saying. "I can't feel my arm." I could not feel it & I could not control it. My thumb & palm under were tingling as if asleep. It was all very funny to me.

Today my arm is sore, I'm hoping that it is just from the site of the injection. If he did not shoot me in the right spot I'll need another. At the gum tonight that tendon was still giving me fits.
