First Appointment of the New Year

Bink wasted no time having his first appointment of the year in Allentown.  The goofy kid scheduled an appointment for 10:00 this morning.  Today's appointment was with the orthopedist for his back.  Not feeling well, I skipped the appointment, but here is the rundown according to Bink.

New x-rays were done of his back upon arrival.  The doc came in, had him bend over so he could feel his back.  He felt that things were going well.  Bink let him know that he is having some pain/discomfort issues to which the doc said to take OTC pain meds (no Ranger candy for him). He told Bink that he needs to take walk as much as possible.  He also prescribed physical therapy for the back.  

So, if you are ever looking for Bink for the next few weeks, a safe bet is that he will be at the local Y.  Between the prescribed wrist PT, back PT and strolling on the treadmill and/or elliptical, that really will be his new "job" for at least a few weeks.  

The back ortho said that he would be releasing Bink back to "light duty" on January 20th.  We will find out next week if the wrist ortho feels the same way.  Next post will be early next week.
