Got to the Doc, and he ordered xrays. Got em done, went to Garden City to get refunds from Medicare (yes, that evil SOCIALISED medicine, works great) and waited for the films to be developed and examined. Had some sashimi and grilled seafood Japanese style while waiting.
Got films, headed back to Doc. A rather somber Wing comes out.
