Mini-Galloway
I walked 4 minutes, ran two this morning. I tried the patella strap but took it off after two cycles b/c I didn't like it. My calf felt weird. No serious pain, but I can tell its not pulling right. I'm not getting better and by my calculation it has been about three weeks since I got hurt. I decided to go to the doctor. A few moments ago I made an appointment for later today for the one in my network.
I don't like this doctor for a few reasons. In the past he was conservative with resources that I feel were warranted-ie. MRI after 6 months of knee pain and/or PT. (Or at least a handout of PT excercises-he told me to search the internet!) I do think his hands are probably tied in some way as to what he can or is supposed to proscribe. I can just tell b/c his style (again, may not be his fault if the system constrains him) is so different than my sports doc in DC (who was one of DC's "best" according to the Washingtonian). Anyway, I may go out of network if I am unsatisfied again. I did have to seek out of network care for my knee in October/November.
Other news is my work load suddenly increased with a simultaneous IM and phone call from my boss and colleague last night. My "colleague" (who also happens to be a friend from college) is in town for work today and I am meeting with her later which should be fun. I also woke up this morning and discovered all of the e-mail messages in my Inbox (about 100) were gone. Can you imagine? I wrote some hasty e-mails to the HelpDesk and they returned at some point on my walk/run.
