After about a half hour of that, crow finally gave up.

You'd think that will eventually get better, they just built a large $500 million state of the art regional medical center 20 minutes from here in Middletown (Orange Regional), and we're right on the outer edge of the NY Metro area, hell, half the people who live here commute to NY City or places like Bergen County NJ or Westchester County, NY (my wife works for a major shipping company in Woodcliff Lake, NJ, about 40 minutes south of here, Walenius & Wilhelmsen, they ship autos like Volvos and Nissans and heavy equipment all over the world0.

My knee guy is down in Bergen County (he used to be the guy who operated on all the pro athletes around here) and for anything more serious (like any kind of surgery) I wouldn't go up here. The fact that this wound treatment center in Cornwall turned out to have an idiot doctor kind of sucks, but there it is. He really was a bit of a jerk. But you can get than anywhere. I think the guy I have now knows what he's doing, but that this condition isn't easy to figure out, and it does take a long time.

Badass!
