Life Time Update............

I had another appointment with my regular doctor this morning.
Main reason was to discuss coming off my work restrictions and the over all out look of all the tests.
As a bonus, the Econsult for neuro surgery was already done and the verdict was.....
LIVE WITH IT.
Well, that is my description of their words. But yep, nothing they can or will do for my shoulder. Their recommendation, therapy and wait for up to two years for it to heal up.
UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH........................

Wanna know how to get your doctor's attention?
Mention one little word, Depressed.
When he came in he asked how it was going. I asked, Physically or Mentally. Physically it's the same, Mentally, I was done. He asked what I meant by that. I told him I am done trying to get my problems taken care of only to be told that I was going to have to live with it.
That brought on a fairly long discussion about every thing.
So of course at one point it brought about the question from him, You're not thinking about killing yourself.
No, I am so frustrated, depressed, angry.
I should have told him, I can't do anything until after my birthday because I am going to Las Vegas. A trip only happening because it was booked before all this shoulder stuff started to happen. Otherwise, I would not be spending the money on a trip. :(

So anyway, supposedly, I will be as good as new in 1-2 years.
Does anybody believe that?

Then just to put the last nail in the coffin, Occupational Medicine, who is in charge my work restrictions, is making me jump through hoops to come back to work without any more restrictions. I finally talked to secretary at Family Med and she said she would fax them what they needed and take care of it.
Again, does anybody believe that?
