Hi Penny and All, The steroid injections have been postponed until March 30th. The HMO drug their feet and did not get the authorization # to the doctor in time to get the procedure done Thursday. I had to update any changes in symptoms or impairment with the nurse during our conversations Thursday morning. I described the "stingers" in my neck, shoulders and arms, problems with little finger and ring finger on the right hand. She consulted someone off line, and gave me the next available appointment to get re-accessed. The new impairments seemed to get them excited. New appointment is for the 17th. Allen
