Meetings | Injections | Appreciation
Tuesday, August 29, 2006
Today I had a meeting with my supervisor [from The Salvation Army headquarters]. Not a fun meeting, but a good guy to meet with.
Tomorrow I get another pain injection in my spine [I get it done about every nine months]. Picture it: Me in my tighty whiteys and a hospital gown. Sprawled out on a bed in the operating room in the fetal position. Ass up. While they drive a needle the size of a sewing needle up my spine and inject anti-inflamatories and pain medication into my lower back region. Good times, for sure. They called yesterday to remind me that I need someone to pick me up at the hospital afterwards because I won't be in any condition to drive. No kidding.
It's weird too, because my back hasn't really hurt all that much this summer. It's been pretty good [knock on wood]. I am doing the injection anyway, because last time I played the tough guy, I regretted it big time.
Anyhow, thanks for all your prayers and encouragement in the last couple days. Margie and I both appreciate it very much.
