Well, I had my C&P spoke with another member about my visit so I just thought I'd share a little with you. I had exams it the past were the Dr's grab or force you to do movements that push the limits of pain, (where my pain is lower back and legs also L-foot that kills I didn't bother with because my other injuries were so bad) they push you so far you start to wonder if you should even be there I'd say even guilty as you sit there with surgery pain and I know in my heart I shouldn't feel that way. Well, my wife and I left at 6 am on what is normally a 45 minute ride to a 8 am check in and a 8:30 am Apt we were almost late because of morning traffic and I thought I was going to cry seeing my whole life pass before my eyes and having a late thinggy on my report which would screw me if I rolled in an invalid. We just got there before check in and no one had even arrived we sat waiting and finally the wheels started to turn we went in and did a questionnaire and went to waiting room for the RN to do my P&C. I went in sat down and was asked your good days and bad days how are they, I answered with a " I'm still waiting on a good day" and ask about my pain then some small talk then the exam I got up she ask if I could do this and that not one measurement nor was I ask to perform one other than grabbing her fingers? Asked me to to blow my jaws like a blow fish checked my eyes, then went plum to the from of the Hospital to get me a chair, was out of this world nice and kind which has left me puzzled, either its going to be 100% or loose my 40%. Never have I in my life had I had an exam so easy. There is more too it but still after having time to take it in, it still leaves me with an on easy feeling. And this Pain chart who in the world invented this thing? who came up with this mild, moderate and severe that's like asking someone would you like fries or the bucket of potatoes. obviously there should be letters or numbers 1-10 in middle some where's so I chose the bucket the rest couldn't even begin to describe my pain..........Rich
