My heavens, where has the time gone? It has been over a month since I did my bl0g. It is just unbelievable. Haven't done any thing interesting to write about except for the fact that JorJa and Jacob has been staying with us for the past two weeks, they were Evicted From Their Home, due to the fact that their condo was being remodeled, a new kitchen and bathroom was being put in and I understand it is absolutely beautiful except for the fact that in the tear out portion a terrible mess was made. There is dust on EVERYTHING. At least this is a long weekend coming up so they will have a little extra time to get it all taken care of. She has gone back to school to get her masters in Civil Engineering and he has one more year to get his degree in ( I think) Electrical Engineering. Plus they are both working as many hours as they can get and keeping up on their church duties, he is the Executive Secretary in their ward and she is a teacher I think. So really the only time we see them is when they come to eat and sleep. They certainly aren't any bother.
The other interesting thing that happened in this last month was that I went to move a little foot stool over to put my feet up and heard a crack in my back. Well, the next morning I was in pain just like before, and I knew what I had to do. I started calling the radiologists and people for an MRI and eventually had to have another Per cutaneous Vertebroplasty done. This time on the L3 vertebra. That should just about do it for all of the vertebra's as this is the fourth time I have had it done and the last time they did two at the same time. This one was different though, it was very painful after and remained that way for over 2 weeks, in fact it still hurts but maybe it is something else right now, I just don't know. I still have to take a pain pill every day just to get through the day and night. I hope this doesn't keep on as I hate pain pills with a passion, maybe it goes back to remembering Mom and her pain pill thing. I learned something new with this scenerio, the glue (it really isn't glue, I just call it that) they put into each vertebra is harder than concrete. The Dr. said they tested it out on the cement and the cement broke before this stuff did, so now I have a lower back that is stronger than the sidewalk. Of course that doesn't say the upper back and the discs can't pop.
All of the fires around makes it impossible to breathe easlily so I am having my days with that, but things could be a heck of a lot worse. I just want to be well enough to be able to do a few of the things I would like to do and be able to write about those things instead of about my stupid health. Bye for now.
