Yesterday we arrived in Broomfield, Colorado for my knee stem cell procedure. So far it's been an interesting experience.
We reserved what we thought would be a nice hotel room. Note to self: if the hotel policy is that they are going to charge you, even if you don't take the room when you arrive and decide to stay somewhere else, you probably aren't going to like the room.
The hotel is kind of run down. I thought a room on the second floor would be the quietest. When the owner showed us the second floor room and started the heater/air conditioner it sounded like a bulldozer was waiting to plow through the exterior wall. I almost started crying. He relocated us to a downstairs room that has a quiet heater/ air conditioner. We can't open the windows because they are old and cruddy. The room smells like, well like an old hotel room. I chose this hotel because the man assured me it was quiet. Well, it is quiet, has space around it, and has Direct TV and Wifi. Sometimes I wish I didn't have such a super sniffer.
This morning at 10:00 am I talked to the doc. I think they schedule too much time for the initial visit. The doc chatted on forever about the Paleo diet, why the China Study isn't accurate and the author is biased. I guess we had to find something to talk about for an hour. To my way of thinking the Paleo diet is nothing but the Atkins diet with an organic foods twist to it. I saw in the 1970's and again a few years ago that the Atkins diet is no good.
For the procedure, I was a pin cushion. A Physical Therapist did a form of acupuncture, I had blood drawn, and then platelets were re-injected into my knees.
This clinic has state of the art ultra sound. The doc looked at my MRIs and then did an ultra sound. When he re-injected the platelets, he had a ultrasound device that showed him exactly where the tears were and exactly where to put his needle to inject the platelets. I could see it on the screen too. It was cool!
More tomorrow about street naming practices of Broomfield, Co and how to dutch oven there.
