I talked to the office manager yesterday. Apparently there are contract issues with the hospital my pain mgmt. clinic (there are many drs in one umbrella clinic all over the dfw area) not knocking them; they're wonderful. In fact, they're doing everything they can on their end or it seems so. Well, they can't get the contract worked out and one other person and I are caught in limbo. So, it could be Monday; it could be weeks. Very discouraging since I depend so much on my hands. I graduate May 11th with my M.Ed and am doing lots of papers, I teach so I grade a lot. It is becoming overwhelming. I also have a broken right one. It's almost healed. 2 more weeks. Luckily, no cast. it's also very depressing to be in pain, know you have a solution, and know there's nothing you can do about it. Anyway, just very discouraging. We figured we would be doing the permanent by now. Anyway, so that's the story. Hope for some relief soon
