At least they seem to know what is going on - partially.
Did an ultrasound, and found a LOT of fluid.
Took out 8 millimeters or something like that. Showed it to me,
yuck.
And gave me a shot of cortisone.
I feel a little better.
Hopefully I will feel a lot better in a couple of days.
I like the dr and feel confidence in him - that's important.
