“Excellent. I will meet with her and have her review your file and then we will schedule a follow up appointment with her. In the mean time I am sending orthopedics out to set you up with a standing desk. All very ‘high tech’ of course. It will raise and lower with a push of a button. That way you don’t have to move all your things and you don’t sit as much. I can arrange for you to have a similar one at home if you like?”

Aesthetics in her home were rather important to her as she cultivated a sanctuary for herself on this colony. Did she mind a high tech desk? No. Would it fit? Maybe not. Still, given her issues, and how long her work days were, changing up her work setting could help. “I know the desks are matter of health and practicality, but appearance make a difference in my surroundings. If there’s any way to customize the structure of it, that would fit my space better. I just went through a bunch of renovations on my office. Something in wood, or at least simulated to look like it, would be better.”

“There are a lot of options, but orthopedics will handle that. They have all the design options. When they call to make the appointment, tell them what you are looking for and then they can show you ideas.”

“Okay,” Eela said with a nod.

“Contine your physical therapy and massage therapy. Jal’na will let me know when she feels you no longer need her services. How are your medications working for you?”

Eela nodded. “The larger dose of terakine less frequently is working out fine. There’s been a lot more anti-inflammatories the last few days, but as you said earlier, it’s all healing. I don’t use the muscle relaxant Dr. Fayth gave me very often but it does help on the days when I’ve not been able to rest as much. The residual pain that isn’t always dealt with, I just live with. It’s minor.” It was telling for her that she hadn’t needed her cane in recent weeks. She kept it handy still, but was growing more confident she wouldn’t need it.

Eraras nodded, “Yes I saw the note from Jal’na about the extra anti-inflammatories. I am glad to see you taking them when you need them. The rest sounds good.” He tapped into the PaDD, “refills of all of those will be waiting at the desk on your way out. Unless you have more questions, I think you are doing very well. I will see you again in a month.”

She gave him a smile. “Thank you, Doctor,” Eela said, slipping off the biobed and putting the brace back on. Gathering her stuff, Eela stepped out of the room and headed out, her mind whirling slightly. She was highly skeptical about there being anything else they could add that would make a difference, but as Erasus said they had to consider the long-term. A part of hadn’t wanted to even consider it at all, but that was silly. This was her mobility and quality of life they were talking about.
