No Doctor.

I called the hospital to ask for the schedule of any orthopedic or rehab med doctor, but apparently they will not be there today as they attended some conference. I don't want to go to emergency care as this is not emergency. So I guess I have to wait for Monday or Tuesday. The meds helped a bit. Maybe we'll get some massage later.

@rakski I understand. Here we have what is called “convenient care “ which is sort of like you don’t think you have an emergency, but you need to see someone. Kind of like a doctor visit, but a doctor you don’t know. They seem to have the most activity on nights and weekends.
