Dr. Sanford, I was honestly expecting a tearful experience. From what all my friends have told me about their cortisone shot experiences, I was sure it was going to hurt more than help. What a bunch of babies I have for friends. I know I did make some painful looking faces, but it really wasn’t that bad. I felt better toward the end of the night and I did get a comfortable night’s sleep. I did some stretches in the shower last night and have already found a way to stretch at my desk. I am making a conscience effort to recognize my box. I will follow your regimen to the letter, because I really don’t want to have you cut on me if I can help it. Thank you for seeing me on such short notice. Have a wonderful Holiday.
