Off today for more minor surgery. I am waiting for my ride to the surgery center. Yesterdays shot is suppose to take care of the inflammation that I am having right now. My foot was numb all day yesterday as I could feel the med all the way down to my foot yesterday, which is a good thing. Today the chiropractor does his thing while they put me under for the next three days. The only bad thing about this is getting IVs three IV's in a row. Yesterday the nurse miss my vein twice before she got a...Sunday, April 26th 2009
I'm so proud of our friend Terri and her success in finishing her first full marathon even though her feet hurt her and she got blisters into the 9th mile.

Thursday I hurt so bad I called and went in the my pain specialist. Sure enough my nerves were inflamed by something I did over the past month or the fact I didn't get enough relief from the last procedure to last a long enough time. Any way, I was right in not exercising since it would make the inflammation worse in my case. I was told to do all things I know to do for a few weeks as with to go in for another procedure in two weeks. So, I am using my stimulator, putting ice on my joints, resti...« Previous
