[Magdalen] Spine appt.

[Grace Cangialosi]

Thanks, Ginga, this is encouraging. I'll have an understanding of my options after my appointment next week; I'm hoping there may be some arthroscopic intervention possible.
What I do know is that I've used up my Medicare covered PT for the year, so anything to be done that will require follow-up PT will have to wait till the first of the year.
