Medical Update - back and forth 4

Well, it looks like the Iliopsoas Tendinitis is back again. I shall refrain from expletives, but I guess everyone can imagine what they would be, and justified. To top it all, I have a cold, but, luckily, not the 'flu type as most seem to have contracted this winter, but rather a snotty nose and sneezing (not even the precursory sore throat this time - maybe my immune system is stronger than I thought!!!!). As a precaution, however, I am dosing myself (medicinally, of course) with a stiff single malt.

Today, I did some research using the Swiss telephone book on DVD, and I discovered, that there is a new centre here in tiny Chur, which is affiliated to the Swiss Olympic doctors - it's a medicinal sports centre right here in the Alps!!!! Wow, why was I not informed of this before????? Now, whilst I have the utmost faith in my orthopaedic specialist, he is getting on in years, and we just don't seem to be making headway in my fight with the ailing tendon. Consequently, I contacted a doctor at this medical sports centre today, and I have an appointment for 11 o'clock tomorrow!!!!!!! I am wildly excited, and hope, that this is the start of my real healing.

I have desisted from running and gym today - not only because I have a cold - and will avail myself of the latest sports medicine on the morrow. Until then, I drink single malt!!!!!!
