Oh yeah, the insurance company denied coverage on the physical therapy until after they have reviewed how I respond to the physical therapy that they won't pay for. It's quite the Catch 22. I'll be battling with them next week.

P.S. the USA has the best healthcare in the world. At least that's what all my GOP pals keep telling me.

P.P.S. I really sense a dull but very distinct pain, just like a knot you might typically get in your back or leg, but precisely behind my left hemorrhoid area and the dull pain radiates a bit down my left leg. NOT in the prostate area, but of course everything in that region is centimeters apart, so it takes a while to figure that all out. Increasingly this seems to clearly be a muscular spasm issue of some kind. Got worse this AM after a two mile walk with the dog with some hills. I'm sure I can get this to calm down.
