No pain, no gain?

  Today Anne saw her Orthopedic surgeon and found out that she does, indeed, have "a bulge". Since it's not currently causing any pain, he doesn't want to inject it with the steroid cocktail like he did before. But, he does suspect that there may be some nerve damage and wants to do some tests on her.

  Although this really isn't good news, there is some relief in knowing what the problem was. Identifying it, puts a name to it and makes it easier to understand. Also, now we can move forward with planning treatment instead of just worrying about some ephemeral phantom source of the pain.

  Thankfully, she's not having any pain. It may be that the swelling and accompanying pressure backed off; or the Lyrica she's taking; or a combination of the two. But, no pain is a good thing either way.

  No movie tonight because we just had to watch the final A.G.T. show. I really enjoy seeing the finalists being joined on stage with big stars and, in some cases, the people that they have admired and inspired them! Also, I get a kick out of how they bring back some of the losers and let them put on a show.

  All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players!

 

  Bless you and your supporting cast,

Don and Anne
