Blogging has been sporadic this week, because I was suffering from a pinched nerve in my spine. It started with muscle spasms last week and progressed.
Ever had a real pinched nerve?
They hurt, constantly, relentlessly, agonizingly.

There is no way to get away from the pain, painkillers do not help, they dull your senses perhaps, but the pain doesn’t go away.
Not when you sit, stand, lay, prop on pillows, snarl or hiss the pain just stays with you.

I haven’t been fun to be around. I snarled and hissed and was just plain miserable. The good news is that I got to see Jenn my most ever in the world favorite orthopedic yesterday, and she gave me meds that did help.

It’s a shame her office staff had to reschedule me two times over a two week period.
Neither she nor her staff would have waited 2 weeks to be seen.
But because of the multiple spine surgeries I have had, I am not about to let another orthopedic near me.

TheMasterOfTheUniverse was as thankful as I that the snarling possessed woman had left. We both got some sleep last night.
