A Visit To Dr. Bow

Kandinsky-style Bow Tie o’ the Day and I spent the bulk of our afternoon clashing our attire at my doctor appointment with my pain management doctor. I refer to her as Dr. Bow since the word “bow” sounds like a syllable in her real name. And she is a TIE O’ THE DAY fan.

The appointment went well. You know that irritatingly vague 1-10 pain scale the docs use to pin down the seriousness of your current pain? When Dr. Bow asked what my pain level was today, I said a lower number than I’ve said in 20 years of being asked. I happily said I was at a 5. I might as well have won the pain level lottery. I’m feeling a-ok.

Knock on wood, and on anything else that’s handy.
