My aforementioned re-evaluation is later today, so of course I'm up tonight, insomnious (That's the adjective form—I looked it up) with irrational anxiety. It's been 6 years since the ortho sent me on my merry. Five years is the cutoff, so they tell me my records have allegedly been archived and I'm considered a "new" patient again (even though I just saw the guy a month ago at DW's appt, when he suggested I come in again), which means I have to fill out all the gorram forms again!

There's no reason for my anxiety. I'm feel certain this is going to be (another) exercise in futility, and I can almost predict what he's going to say (after I endure the pita ordeal of new/updated imaging) because I've been saying it myself—some things have gotten worse (DDD), and some things have gotten better (healed), and there's still nothing he can do for me. Whoop-de-friggin'-doo. (Plotz)

So why can't I sleep?
