How are your medical visits going?

Are you still on 100% teletherapy? Any non-essential procedures you've managed recently?

Have not had to have much in the way of medical visits; have had flu vax and a covid test. Am shopping for a new chiropractor after mine retired at the beginning of the year. I put that aside after I first thought about it in March, and am just getting back to it. Also starting to think about therapeutic massage, given the long time between chiro treatments probably means that parts of my back are too cranky for the chiro treatment to be as effective as I might like (my last chiro did great soft tissue work to loosen my back up and was the most successful at never giving me a migraine; I don't trust someone I've never worked with before to be able to achieve that level of subtlety).

I hear you on the difficulty of finding the right balance between therapeutic massage and outright chiropracty. I hope you are successful in your quest sooner rather than later.

I had a covid test too. Brain probing is good fun, huh?

I think the brain probe part of the covid test was less bad than the throat swab. Partner was unable to hold still for the nurse to do the throat swab, and had to do that themself as well as the two nose swabs.

Interesting that there are different protocols -- mine only required one nose swab and no throat stuff, for which I am grateful.

I suspect that we have very paranoid testing staff, because with minimal cases and no community transmission, the outcome of missing a case is enormous.

That would make sense.
