A Quick Question

This morning, I called MSK to find out if it would be OK for me to take Celebrex for my back pain. After eight hours in the emergency room and the imaging center, various blood tests, and an MRI scan, I had my answer: "Yes."

For diversion, I was fortunate to have a visitor in the ER-- a friend since college, who had very kindly journeyed down from Connecticut to see me. We had a spirited visit. In fact, out of respect for the other patients and their caretakers, we struggled to subdue our chuckling. We parted with a plan to get together again soon, in a more fun environment.
