@ the doctors

Friday morning as per instructions I called again (very very early to me) and was waiting again. This time the call went through much faster (it took less than 10 minutes). I got an appointment just after noon. Yay!

So first 4 hours or so I worked. I also informed my Aunt that I would be going to see the doctor. I informed her as if I want my boss to remember something it is better to inform his wife aka my aunt. (Never work at your own family's business if you can avoid it!)

So not so long story short: I have a Lateral epicondylitis in my right hand. I got some pain medication and gel for it. This doctor was my kind of doctor. He first checked the mobility and then put pressure to the muscle that was swollen/cramping. The cramp went away as well as the annoying feeling that the cramp made me feel. No needles no unnecessary drugs. I told him that I didn't like to eat pills, so he found a medication that was small, and only needed to be taken once a day. Suites me fine :)

He only gave the day off (well because I asked to have the day off). Which is okey for me too. Now I didn't have to stress about work too much. I asked the day off, because I didn't want the cramp to come back yet. So this week is testing week. If the cramp comes back aka the pills and gel won't work, I need to go see him again.

Yesterday I compared my meds with my grans, who takes 16 different kinds of pills at the moment. I promised to come visit her this weekend, no matter what. So I just need to check before I leave that if she is at home or in hospital. But anyways this was just about my trip to doctors. First time I saw one in here. Last time I saw one in 2006 when I got my drivers license (as you need the doctors bill to get the license).
