A Quick One Before I Go

I'm off to the hospital this morning to get a lumbar epidural.  I had an MRI just before New Years and found that I have two herniated discs - one pretty bad, the other not so bad.  That, in addition to the neuropathy caused by the chemo medication, is rendering me pretty much useless lately.

We bought some bar stools that I am now using in the kitchen, since I can't stand for any length of time.  They've been a huge help.  I'm taking Lyrica and Percocet for the pain, and am hoping to get off of both once I get the epidural done.  It's just a temporary fix, but can be done again when needed.

Had a second PET scan on Saturday.  I should get the results of that when I go for chemo tomorrow.  We'll see how treatment is progressing then.

In other news - David changed my blog layout, so leaving comments should be MUCH easier now - give it a try!

It looks good from here... but when I hit "post comment" part of it disappears again... I'm looking at it in Firefox... don't know if that matters or not...
