Radiating

I had a couple of new patients recently who've come to the Hotel to get their radiating pain evaluated. This keeps the neurosurgery service and our physiatrists busy. One will get a lami and decompression in a month, and another, a little heat in the capsaicin cream to keep him/her happy while they mix up the medication regimen.

One of our coworkers resolved his radiating pain, and finally came back to work. He also got a research position part time, so he won't really have to do as much physical work.

Another patient starts radiation treatments soon, so he/she's happy to get things going. The wait to get other issues resolved while waiting was getting to be overwhelming.

Hopefully, I'll be radiating a little color after one last day at the pool with Bubba before we start getting ready for school. It's hard to believe the summer's gone by so fast.

Stay tuned...more to come.
