It was cold out this morning, so I decided to do elliptical in the am and go for a run after PT in the evening when I'd have some new tape on my knee. The tape really seems to help. It's not going to fix the problem, but it lets me do what I love (hopefully while the problem is healing).
Hurried to PT after work, and left totally disappointed. They said based on what I'd told them about the running & the painful down-the-stairs movement, they wanted to wait for further treatment until they'd heard what the orthopedic dr said.
Well, I still haven't heard back from the referral. I made some phone calls after I got home, and I guess, according to the insurance people, the referral was "lost." So I have to start over again at where I was Nov 8th with that. The PT didn't tape my knee, didn't really do anything but talk to me. Not their fault about the referral being lost- it just sucks that I'm not any further ahead than I was 3 weeks ago.
I do like to whine, but don't feel like I'm usually someone who feels sorry for myself. But tonight, I'm going to feel sorry for myself, let the tears go & wallow.
Tomorrow, I'm calling and getting the referral put back in the system. I'm going to try & be nice and pleasant to the nit-wits on the phone who "lost" it to begin with. They'd already gone home for the day by the time I figured out what had happened today. Bless their little hearts.
I'll wear my new, light weight shoes tomorrow too- just in case I end up putting my foot in my mouth. Fillet of Sole is always a tasty dish...especially when served with humble pie.
