Green and an update

 Thursdays are almost always the same. Drop Far Guy off at the hospital door to get his weekly infusion. Pick up the grocery order from Wally World...this week I had to wait over 30 minutes for my order because some store idiot cancelled it.  Then off to a craft store this week was Michaels turn as Far Guy had a couple of things on my list.  AND well there is yarn there...

I was feeling the green this week.  This color is called spearmint.  Only one cashier there so I stood in line a bit.  Then it was time to head back to the hospital and wait in the old hospital parking lot for Far Guy to summon me.  I only waited 6 minutes when he messaged me that he was done.  We went out for very late breakfast/lunch/early supper and then came home to Sadie.

Far Guy had a nap, he has started meds for a cold?/lung issue  that has made him very short of breath...possibly too much perfume/aftershave at the clinic appointment last Monday has irritated his lungs.

I was seen by the Neurosurgeon on Monday.  He believes my pain problem is not from my back but from my SI joint on the left side.  He has ordered SI injections for me in two weeks.  I have a congenital defect in that my spinal column is very small for my spinal cord and I have some slippage L4 L5 and S1 but not enough to cause all my pain...or so they say.  I am still doing exercises, heat helps also time in the massage chair and the recliner.  I am also scheduled to see a Doctor at the Pain Clinic in March.  FYI the Steroid Injection that I had on Feb 3 did nothing for my pain and made my left leg, foot and toes numb.

I began a course of Prednisone on Tuesday as the pain on the drive to Fargo was horrid on Monday...and left me exhausted. One day at a time.  The Prednisone takes the edge off the pain...it is not totally gone but is more bearable. 

Goodbye to the month of February!
