You would think a back doctor would have better chairs. But then again maybe they do it on purpose to keep patient coming back for help...

I often have the issue of no notifications. Its very annoying but I have no idea why it happens.

I pay an extra monthly fee so R2R will mess with people that are fun to mess with.

Highlights!
 
He thinks I might have a disc that's bulging and pinching a nerve. They are going to schedule me for xrays and an mri as well as an epidural steroid shot. At least I think that's what he said the shot was called. He said if the shot doesn't help the MRI/xrays will tell us what the next step needs to be. I don't know yet when they will be scheduled I'm waiting on the nurse to come get me to take me to checkout where they will schedule them.

I could have really used some of the exrays after my divorce. Would have saved me so much money and grief. But, nooooo, you weren't around to help a guy out.

we can compare X-rays now. just make sure they don't read the X-ray backwards when you get stuff done. 😟
 
Just got the filter cups installed and looked at the tank good and noticed one of my duncans is dropping its head. Any guess as to why after all these weeks of being totally fine its done this? And does this mean its dead? I'm assuming they don't grow back...

Sorry to see that! That's very unusual for a Duncan. Do you have any suspect fish because if everything else is doing ok then usually parameters are ok. You have some much more delicate corals in there.
