I'm glad Orli doesn't have any skeletal problems. Girl, you and

others can hold your tongue so well. I need to take lessons. lol

fine.

sh*t!!! The child is 8.5 months old and her tort is pretty much

resolved. She has full range of motion and I've been repositioning

her since she was 4 months old with NO success... in fact she got

worse! I should've said something, but he hadn't finished looking at

her x-ray at that point and I still had some serious questions I

wanted to ask... this man has such a god complex I was afraid he

wouldn't answer my questions if I contradicted him. Anyway, she will

never have to see him again.

I see the orthopedist at 8:30 am tomorrow.  Hopefully I will be able to get an adequate diagnosis and set up for treatment.  I am hoping for some PT to get the tight muscles massaged and whatever modalities they will use.  Unfortunately that will cost $40 a session so I might only be able to go once a week.  Depending on what the problem is with my pelvic area I may end having to take some time off from the post office for awhile.  Lifting the flats out of the cart and being on my feet a lot is really causing it to flare up.

My biggest fear...the left iliac screw is loose so it's back to Dr. Hey. I have been uneasy about that screw for over a year.PeggySent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: Kirkaldie <susan.kirkaldie@...>Sender: Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 19:24:54 -0700< >Reply Subject: Re: [ ] orthopedist Peggy, Wishing you luck tomorrow, and hopefully some answers along with some action to getting you feeling better. do let us know how it goes tomorrow! On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 5:39 PM, Peggy Greene <jpgunlimited@...> wrote:  I see the orthopedist at 8:30 am tomorrow.  Hopefully I will be able to get an adequate diagnosis and set up for treatment.  I am hoping for some PT to get the tight muscles massaged and whatever modalities they will use.  Unfortunately that will cost $40 a session so I might only be able to go once a week.  Depending on what the problem is with my pelvic area I may end having to take some time off from the post office for awhile.  Lifting the flats out of the cart and being on my feet a lot is really causing it to flare up. Peggy
