Back to it.  Did my normal Mon cardio/resistance workout.  PWW = 234.2 (not bad with a week off and lots in 'intake').  Will be going to PT tomorrow and doing my 30 minute cardio.  Back problem still in flux ..... very disappointed in treatment thus far.  MRI read, shows 'bulging disc' at L5-S1, Neuro surgeon's 'clerical worker' said that the Doctor doesn't see patients "with just bulging discs... they must have radiating pain before he sees them".... This is NOT HAVING EVEN LOOKED AT THE MRI REPORT OR THE SCAN ITSELF.  Having a 'non-clinician' make these decisions over the phone is bull-shit!!  I asked her to facilitate the Doctor's first hand read of the MRI report and to, himself, look at the actual scan and to make his decision about examining me or not ......DOUBT IF IT WILL MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.  IF THAT HAPPENS, I'LL TEAR SOMEBODY A NEW ONE!!!!!!!!!!!
