Another day with no rain. It will warm up again starting tomorrow. I got a call from the medical group imaging department. The HMO turned down the MRIs of my feet that were supposed to be done later this week. They said go to physical therapy. But I'm already in physical therapy! It's my second round of PT this year. This is all being treated like it's just temporary issues that will go away on their own, not like the worsening arthritis damage that it is.

I spent time on the phone talking to my nurse care manager. I need to get an appointment ASAP with the doctor who ordered the MRIs. He needs to file an appeal, let them see the images of the ankle damage, so imaging the rest of my feet to see what pops up there makes sense.

My arthritis just gets worse with time and it's affected my mobility but I simply can't get proper diagnostics. I'm having difficulty with getting the gel injections in my knees. I'm getting nowhere fast and it's just getting harder. I have more questions than answers. For every step forward it's two or three steps back.
