on Tuesday August 11, 2026 i must call the physical therapist's office and make an appointment. hold me to this vow.
it will be excruciating because i will have to say to them "hello. hello. i came to you for five (5) months for help with my right wrist. and nothing helped. and that is because it was a benign tumor. i do wish dearly that I had demanded imaging sooner for that. but i didn't. but they took it out. and now? well you see now. my left wrist. is not so good also. but not in the same way, probably. and i am- yes, that's right. i am too embarrassed to demand imaging for the left wrist because the wrist surgeon and occupational therapist both seemed so confident and matter of fact that the new pain had had no clear cause and also never would. so I would like to give you $90 a week in exchange for you telling me to more absurd, very small exercises to do with my wrist, even th-- yes. even though the previous ones did not help even a little bit at all. and even though it seems very unlikely you have new exercises to give me. oh- oh. sure. we can look at some dates in late october. thank you "
but nevertheless it must be done.
