Doctor visit

My leg had been bothering me with the glob of tissue on my calf moving every time I walked . This is where I had the big hematoma from the car accident two years ago. Tom Kelly , my therapist, said I should go to the orthopedic doctor... On Friday I went to KOC in Powell and saw Ron Hawkins...nice young man who took a lot of time with me. He said I had a severe case of bursitis although it wasn't real painful. It was swollen and he gave me a cortisone shot to reduce the inflammation and told me to wear an ace bandage when I walk. I told him I was scared of cortisone, but he said one shot wouldn't hurt me. My leg felt better yesterday and wonderful today. I can see how people could get hooked on drugs...ha..
