BB,
So glad you had a good doctor experience. I agree they don't have to be warm and cuddly. What matters is that they listen and know what they are doing. I hope the shot brings you some relief. An inflamed bursa is no fun. Crutches will jack you up for sure.
Russ,
You are not useless. I am glad you didn't squash your calabash instead of your hand. It sucks when we realize we no longer have the superpowers to move boulders...
