got the okay

I had to wait an hour to see the doctor but he gave me the prescription for physical therapy. I’m going to this place in Encino that does all kinds of work on pro athletes after they have major injuries. They have a 97% success rate from independent sources. So I think I picked the right place.
When I talked to the doctor today he suggested that I augment my pain meds with an antidepressant — I told him I’d already started Effexor and he said, "oh, good — that’s the one I was going to suggest, I’ve seen it work well to mitigate pain." I am a research freak.
I had a busy day today. Too busy but not too bad. Started to get achy by the end of my class. I actually was laying on the table by the end of it. The students are really handling this well.
When I was waiting on the doctor I hopped on the scale. I’ve lost twelve pounds. The herniated disc/soul crushing depression weight loss plan has worked wonders. I’m fitting into all my "skinny" clothes with ease. Sadly though, I fear much of it is muscle loss. Being this sedentary is not a good thing.
