Cortisone shot in my knee

My (former) orthopedic surgeon examines me. Says nothing is better and gives me a shot. He's good at the shots, painless.

He says again the heel pain is a problem to fix. End of discussion. The right knee probably has some arthritis, but doesn't take an x-ray. And when I ask if it's time for the surgery on the left knee he is non-committal. I have a hard time communicating with him. Once again I left his office feeling bad and hopeless. I decide never to see him again.

Dental repairs

Crown has a chip fall off and the sharp edge, tongue side, of #31 is cutting my tongue. Very sore. Dentist ground it smooth. Feels much better.
