Update from yesterday

Hi everyone, here is my fast update, I will write more later but this is what I sent to my family. I'm pretty out of it still and slightly sore, so I'm off to take my meds again and try and get some more sleep.

Yesterday I had an epidural injection under heavy sedation. The basically floated cortisone on top of all 3 of my buldging discs with xray guidance. I'm not too sore just tired and periodically when I have been up for too long (either sitting or standing) I start to get sharp shooting pains down my legs and my spine weakens (this was happening before the injectios, so nothing to worry about). I was just told to take it easy, no standing or sitting for long periods of time, no vacuuming, no taking the dog on a walk, no long walks, make sure I ice it etc.... for 3 -4 days so that the cortisone can be absorbed into the right area and not be jossled around.

So Eddie is helping tons and I'm following doctors orders! Just a short not to let you know what happened and that all went well. I have another procedure on the 22nd and on the 9th of March.

Love to all!!!!
