This weekend I've been laid out with a sore upper back from two herniated discs that are getting worse and the stiff neck and headaches were brutal, and still today it kept me home from work to do more of the same, heating pad, sitting on couch... and I finally gave in to taking pain meds prescribed for the back for my head... very little help. I'm waiting for a Pain Medicine office to get it together with insurance approval/scheduling an epidural.. after this weekend I called and got the run around as to "why" it's stalled and than called orthopedic and sicked the dr. assistant on them, so I'm not a patient bureaucracy type of person.. These dormant herniations were aggravated when recovering from ankle surgery and crawling on my butt up and down the stairs for 6 weeks at a time...
If I'm supposed to be learning patience because of needing it... chronic pain doesn't help.
Brian brought home his "new" dirt bike tonight and so he's gone showing it to the girlfriend before he unloads it (into the cleaned up garage)
Greg and Shane left to pick Ashley up from the airport, this weekend she competed in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Cancer run in San Francisco. We were very proud of her involvement in this. She ran the 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). Which is an awesome time considering the terrain of that city and that she wasn't able to do the type of training she had wanted, but her hotel roommates had done all the training events and only beat her by 4 minutes to the finish line! She is very sore, but glad that it went well. It's not to late to support her with a donation!! mail it to her at our home address before Nov.10 Ashley's official time in the 1/2 marathon was 2:50.02 and she placed 6315th. Greg said he read that there were 20,000 entries that weekend participating in the marathon.... Isn't that terrific - and believe me she is now SORE! But for a great cause...
