Pain: hip pain, back pain (severe, at times)
Pain Management: Optalgin (2-6 a day)
Tests: MUGA: coming up soon

Thanks for pointing this out, I just added a link.
It is unlikely that you ever heard of it before (unless someone has a problem with their heart). At least, I never did.
MUGA = Multiple Gated Acquisition Scan. It measures your heart function.
For more info, check out:

And I really am booked, thank God.
:-}
Muse -- energy levels vary. I'm always best towards the end of my "week off".
