Precisely correct. And as I agreed to allow Joe the tech to hit the bend in the elbow, KNOWING he would soon know what I already know, I had a momentary pang of anger w/myself for causing myself pain to prove I was right. I just was so full of POSITIVE ENERGY, I was too weak to argue, which makes absolutely NO sense. Ann the 30 yr veteran nurse ooohhhhed and ohnoed a lot, but I kept urging her on. MAYBE I taught them something -- for the next person who knows their own body!
