I'm really starting to consider going to
fr_john and discussing a possible trip to Lourdes as a viable option rather than dealing with Kaiser any longer.
I'm really concerned that this back/leg problem is something more than a strain. I'm really feeling it a lot in my hip sockets. Assuming, for the moment, that I am going to be mobility impaired for while, I decided to see what Kaiser would charge me for a wheelchair for Baycon weekend (or one of those mobility scooters.. then we could have drag races!) Their website is a fucking mess. Impossible to find anything on. So now I have to figure out where all the hard copy stuff went and look it up, and then figure out who to call!
Anybody know how much such a rental is offhand? I don't need a powered chair, I've got two good arms and I'm sure my legion of fans/minions would be available to lend some horsepower. I'll just need a way to get from point A to B without walking.

Hips?

Nerve pinched either between two muscles or bone and muscle above the hip. So, in a way it is a pinched nerve--it's better, though, if it is taken care of now, and not ignored--(did that years ago, and it comes back to haunt me every so often).
