Whinewhinewhine!

LOL...it went fine.

He did some tests, close your eyes and touch your nose...(thanks joellelee! I posted on your thread that I did that and failed the first try?)

Failed again.

Put my feet together and close my eyes and stand there...felt myself falling over sideways.Put my arms out for steadiness and balance.

Fail.

Weakness in legs and arms...tremor when I try to lift against his push.

Fail.

Yes I need to lose weight, but he thinks it's more than that. Soooo...new PT assessment, a written prescription for swimming so insurance will pay , Lab tests for thyroid, liver, Vit B12, Vit D, iron, and something else I forgot. Refill on my prescriptions and a half hour for chat about me getting back on the river by spring. He says YES!





It's NOT all in my head!
