[DW filter] CIN special? Maybe? (with a large grain of salt)

[editrx]

This just showed up at the Daily Mirror:

A one-off special of Doctor Who is set to bring all 11 incarnations of the Time Lord together for the first time

Yeah, that was my take on the Mirror article: it's wish list. :)

I'm hoping they find that the disc is at least just bulging again and not actually busted, since I'm the poorest candidate in the US for the type of disc surgery they do here (which is about 5-7 years behind what Canada and the UK is doing...). At least if it's treatable by more injections, I can get by. But something's gotta give. I can't live on Vicodan anymore, especially since one pill isn't doing it for me any more, and I can't take more than two at a time (and only twice a day).

I'll believe it when I see it. In the meantime, there's always that wonderful "The Ten Doctors" comic to fall back on.

Sorry that discfail continues. Hopefully the MRI will have enough information that the doctors know what to do next.

BBC has denied, sorry. *gentle hugs for your back*

Yes, I'm amused that the other newspapers reprinted the Mirror's article, including the BBC denial. LOL. Are they that starved for content? (No, don't answer that.)

I will have the MRI disk (computer disk) in hand tomorrow and will hand it to my neurologist (who I've seen for nigh on 10 years now -- love the guy) on July 1. Wanna peek? ;) (I know I'll peek at it -- I remember what the previous prolapse looked like and I can probably do a layman's guess at it, but MRIs are a hellava lot harder to read that X-rays.)

Oh, I'll have the X-rays too. I suspect they'll give me film, but they may give me a disk. In which case, I can make a backup copy. 'Cause I don't think I'm going back there. That place seems to be basically factory-line patient "care" where they actually deliberately do physical therapy before they do X-rays or MRIs even with known prolapses. I talked to the office manager about it yesterday when I was arguing about getting my MRI and X-ray copies (it came down to the "Okay, I'll just call the Attorney General's office

MRIs are so not harder to read than xrays - they're wondrous things! Of course you need the entire file to flip through, but still - wondrous things!

I'm not surprised at the phys therapy before xray/MRI on most back issues, but even on known prolapse? That's a bit odd in my book, but I believe it would still fall within standards of care... would have to do a curbside consult to be sure, though.

Feel free to vent - you're entitled. ;)

How's the hubby doing?

Um, tired but healing -- hubby, that is. Have more detailed news, but as this isn't a locked post, and it may squick some people, I'll email, eh?
