Today I had another botox injection - a couple of weeks overdue and I could tell without looking at a calendar! Part of the delay was my md's desire to have a colleague be part of the deal.
It didn't start out well at the doctors' office but things were eventually straightened out and the great man finally saw me. He asked one question - which way did I look? - and started swabbing me with alcohol. Two injections ago, my md said he'd been at a seminar where it was suggested that alcohol might break down the proteins in botox, so he stopped using it. He also used to inject me in multiple sites. The great man only injected in 4. And he only injected on the left side. "It's art and science," he said. I accept that and I accept the sense of this experiment; it makes sense that my right side which has (way too much) movement doesn't need the toxin. We shall certainly see. I'm kind of sore at the injection sites now.
