big day tomorrow - my new personal assistant is supposed to come in: got the pleasure three times a week for an hour each time.  maybe i would finally get to use the compression stockings again: the way it is now, i can't grab them tight enough to pull them up (even if they are only knee-high, it's simply impossible for me to put them on).

have been seen by prof. Harmon not so long ago: the wrist needs a surgery, there is nothing else to be done to even try to alleviate the pain.  while he is at it, the surgeon is supposed to have a look at my shoulder as well: the pain is nauseating at times, it's so bad...
