Knee rehab 2

Yesterday I got the second set of shots in my knee rehab. They said that Doctor Nassif would give me the first round, which he did. The nurse practitioner would give me the rest. Another nurse came in and set up the equipment just like before, then I had to cool my heels till the practitioner came. I used the time to take a picture of the set up.

Needles & Things

After Patti, the nurse practitioner arrived and marked where she was going to give me the shots, the other nurse whose name I never got, cleaned and sterilized my knees. They told me that a lot of patients felt more pressure on the second set of shots, but that didn’t happen to me. In fact, I didn’t even feel her putting the needle in. And there was only the slightest sensation when she injected the Synvisc. When I told them that, they got this kind of conspiratorial look on their faces and gave each other high fives. I guess there is this ongoing rivalry between the doctors and the nurses.

I’ve had a little achiness since the shots this time but not too much. One round to go…..

    Dear Booch,

    The picture looks a trifle off-putting, but it seems like it’s going to work for you. Glad to hear it.

    Lisa should have seen the trays they set up for me!!!
    ALWAYS but ALWAYS get on the best of terms with the Nurses. They are the best!!! And they give 10 times the number of shots that any Doc will!
