Appointment

There is good news and then there is GOOD NEWS. You know what I mean? James' appointment with the orthopedic surgeon was very anti-climactic. He said the lateral curve is not bad enough to even be called scoliosis. He said that the appearance of vertebral wedging was a disc that somewhat dips down into the next vertebra. (That has a name, but of course I don't remember what it is.) The other anterior-posterior curve is not really one after all. He said that it is well within normal. After examining James' back he thought that his back pain is muscular and inflammatory. We have orders for a physical therapist to work on that. It wasn't until we were on the way home that my slow processor kicked in and "got it." I was all of the sudden very happy. And James was too. Thank God for sure!!
