That’s probably the most common question I get is how long is this going to take? So I use an analogy occasionally with people, and it seems a little goofy, but it’s Christmas lights. So I’ll explain to the patient that if you get your Christmas lights out for the season and you have one string, it’s not too bad. Maybe it’s a little tangled.

You untangle it, you plug it in, the lights work. If that’s you, it’s obviously not going to take us very long to help you get better. But maybe the next string of lights you pull out is three strings all strung together.

They’re very tangled up, takes a while to untangle them. And by the time you get them all untangled, you plug them in. Maybe one string doesn’t work.

Okay, guess what? It’s going to take more time to go through all the bolts, figure it out. You’re going to take a longer time. Maybe the third person.

We’ve got five or six strings, and it’s different kinds of lights. This twinkles, this doesn’t, and same process. So sometimes it helps people understand and then maybe even the next year when they put their Christmas lights away, meaning are they going to take better care of themselves going forward? They’ll take that into consideration, but sometimes that just helps to explain the time frames that are contained.
