Well, it finally got here. One year after the lumbar surgery, and I have been graduated from PT - even for my neck. I'd say it's a seventy percent improvement from a year ago, even for the neck. Now, I have to figure out how to maintain this condition with Medicare questioning every visit's "improvement." They don't believe in "maintenance" - so my Therapist, Andrea, agrees I might see a therapeutic masseuse, who gets paid out of my pocket instead of by Blue Cross. Speaking with Blue Cross, they don't see why I can't continue with PT as long as I have visits left, but I probably need to find a Therapist who doesn't care what Medicare thinks. Andrea does say that if I do deteriorate due to lack of massage funds, I should get a doctor to refer me back to her for more "improvement."

 

Even though my wonderful bicycle got stolen from the lobby of my building the last Sunday in October, I have gotten a cheep new one. I got it $45 at Fred Meyer, because they couldn't sell it for full price... it's an old fashioned one speed pedal brake bike! I haven't gotten another helmet, but I have gotten a lock and wrench; it'll be another $45 or thereabouts to get lights, helmet, and gloves for this weather >;-)
