    Dr. Guertin - Had Tordol Shot - Not Again!

    My appointment with Dr. Guertin was at 4:00 today.  I wasn't feeling the best when I went to see her today so whey she offered a Tordol shot, I accepted.  Bad idea.  I said it before, and I'll tell myself again - DO NOT GET A TORDOL SHOT.  It never really helps, especially if it is only meant to work for a day or two, and I felt WORSE after getting it.  I still think I am allergic to it.  Dr. Guertin told me I should call and schedule 3 MRIs to see what is going on.  She also scheduled 2 different appointments to have a shot in both sides of my hips.  Said I had swollen bursa sacks in my hip joints, and that shots would help them.

    My appointment was at 9:15 today. Arrived at 9 and was taken right back to a room.  Had a shot in the bottom of my right foot, and was out by 9:30.

    My appointment was at 9:15.  Arrived at 9:05, and was taken back to a room at 9:20.  Everything is going well except my lower back and hips.  I didn't have to get a shot, so this visit was primarily to get my scripts updated.  I had forgotten to have my blood tested before seeing her, so when I got back into town, went to the hospital to get it done. The hospital parking lot was all tore up - they look to be expanding, and adding on, so I had to walk through a maze to get in the front door and to where I needed to be.  I was in and out pretty fast.  Went to see Dr. McMath too.
