...I feel for ya micro. Nothing worse than a back problem. I had it years ago and they wife has it now. They recently did a 'nerve block' on her but that's like taking a novacaine shot. It deadens the pain, but don't fix the problem. I try to stay out of her medical decisions, just agree to support her whatever she decides. That's all ya can do.

Well,
it was an interesting day yesterday. My wife's older sister volunteered to drive me to three of my clients yesterday as I struggled to sit in her tiny S.U.V. the entire 5 plus hours of the ordeal.

I had the TENS Meter every minute of this journey and the last 3 and a half hours were sheer agony with the sharp shooting sciatica down my left leg.

Yesterday late afternoon I had my first visit to the Physical Therapist who helped me after my last back surgery five years ago...

Ryan, who has been a PT for over 18 years was my therapist and I had him last time. He knows me...

After an hour of talking, probing, trying to get things calmed down, he finally said "there is nothing we can do for you". You really need to get the MRI with contrast done and a surgeon to correct the disk that is pinching on your nerve. NO exercises are going to stop that.

I agree with him. At least he is not going to try to just take my money and have NO results.

So, today I need to make a call back to the initial Orthopedic doctor I saw last week and let them know what is going on. I need to go to a neurosurgeon orthopedic doctor who will give me an order for getting the imaging done so we can see what is going on inside.....

I believe until that happens, we are dead in the water. And I am still in acute pain.

So, an interesting few days to say the least but I did get my gifts delivered to my customers personally albeit it cost me a lot in the pain department.


I know why some animals will gnaw off their own limbs....

Anyway, that is it from here. I have to somehow get across the city on the other side to one of my clients who needs some expertise and help.

Only hope I can drive over there. It is about an hour drive one way.....

Later,

micro.....
