Hi Katie -

I think it's great that this doctor was so much kinder and more encouraging!
He cares about you. He believes in you. Get back in the groove and start exercising in ways that protect your injured wing. It's good that you have access to a pool.

Are you home-schooled? You seem a bit different from the average public school kid. I also get the sense that your family does a great job guiding you.

I have to go to the doctor next Tuesday. I've had left wrist pain for about 3 years and no one could tell me WHY. I discoved a bump/lump in my wrist when I was at work 3 nights ago. I was twisting my hand around (yes, I was REALLY bored) and I saw this "thing" that doesn't belong there. Once I get this thing taken care of, I hope to resume doing push ups again. I had to quit because it hurts too much. And, yes, my new family doctor is very nice. I like her a lot.

Once again, I am so glad you found a nice doctor. Send a thank you note!
