It is snowing again, obviously. Gah.

In other news, I had my visit with the orthopedist and he did a throughout exam of my back and decided, instead of another shot in my spine to give me one into the bad hip. The back pain has improved so much that now it is better to do something for the hip, so I am able to walk better without limping.
I am really glad I changed doctor, this one is so much more attentive and also, knowledgeable about EDS, which the other one wasn't and didn't take stuff seriously.
I also got prescribed more physiotherapy. Yay!
The hip steroid dosage was also lower than the back one, so I should have less side effects. Also yay.

And tomorrow I don't have to go to work, triple yay :)

Why was I even surprised?

After all, I had been assigned to several projects in the new EU member country.
