It\u2019s back to the grind for me today with early classes. After class, I worked in the room till lunch. After lunch, it was time to travel to the medical clinic for another visit to the \u201cbone doctor\u201d, as the nurses call him. Dr. Jin Jin reviews the notes from my last visit in early July, and takes another look at my x-rays. Last time I came in, he drained 25cc out of my right knee, and I immediately was better. I wasn\u2019t pain-free, but almost.<\/p>\n
This trip, he\u2019s not so excited about working on the same knee. The original plan was to drain the left knee on this 2nd<\/sup> visit, but the right knee still has more pain. With the admonishment that we won\u2019t be able to work on this knee again for a year, he puts me on the table and goes to work. This time, there is more pain while he works. Last trip, there was enough fluid that he didn\u2019t have to search hard to find it. This time, he probed around with much more conviction. He only got 22cc this time, but it feels so much better. Maybe this \u201cfix\u201d will last longer.<\/p>\n After the doctor\u2019s visit, I returned to BHSFIC for the \u201cOrchestra Club.\u201d We have a few new students after the club fair yesterday. Rehearsal is fun and the kids are fun to work with. The only bad thing about these after-school rehearsals is the commute home on the train during \u201crush hour.\u201d I\u2019m always \u201cbeat\u201d when I get home on Thursdays.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s back to the grind for me today with early classes.
