What I did today

Here is what I did today:

1. Got out of bed. This actually was a major accomplishment due to my
incredibly sore muscles from rototilling.
2. Drank coffee.
3. Raked garden to get the crap out after rototilling.
4. Dug a 10 by 10 hole in the garden where I wanted to put the gravel
under the wood pad.
5. Moved big pile of gravel from cement pad to hole.
6. Put in the wood pad.
7. leveled off the garden soil again. This will need to redone later.
8. Went to pet store to arrange for bird boarding. 3.50 a day for
lovebirds, 3.40 a day for finnegan, 6$ a day for pippin. Might get Brent
to look after them.
9. Bought a new wardrobe. This entails the latest Tim fashion statement.
Three new pairs of jeans, twelve new t-shirts, 12 pairs of socks (not
black). Pretty much sounds like my old wardrobe, but there are no holes
in them yet, and they will fit. Didn't buy any underwear, as I think I
have many pairs.
10. Bought several roles of tape and got a couple of house keys cut.
11. Retaped the broken window in the Pathfinder. Put on new cardboard.
12. Ate supper.
13. Watched Buffy.

and it only 6:30.

Love

Tim

At least you got out of bed!

I, on the other hand, am still nursing a bulging disc that was misread by
the radiologist, according to the neuro-doctor. Apparently, I have a bulge
in the disc between C7 and C8, instead of between T6 and T7. Imagine that?
I told the MD that it hurt a lot further up than the films, circled by the
radiologist, indicated, but he told me that they new their business and
treated me accordingly. The nero-doc has taken a different view of things.

They have scheduled me for a beheading, and say that should take care of my
problems.

Oops...didn't mean to post that to ROFF. It was supposed to be sent to my
wife who is visiting her family for holidays.

Sorry about your disc. Besides the beheading, what are they planning on
doing?

Hey, your day is as important as anyone else's around here!

In my case, three rounds of epidural injections are to be scheduled, and if
that doesn't work, surgery :~^(

They did give me this nifty home hanging kit. I attach a rack and pulley
system to a door, place my head in a sling that is attached to a large bag
of water, on the other end. They said that it was supposed to relieve the
pressure on my neck, but best I can figure, it's going to strangle me to
death, eventually.

Mark --just hangin' around lately--

Coincidence -- for father's day, I took my 65-year old dad on a little
hike down to a NJ fly fishing stream. The hike was maybe a bit farther
than I'd remembered, and maybe it required a bit more rock scrambling,
and sure he'd been having problems with his back, but he seemed to get
through it ok. Until Monday rolled around, and he couldn't walk. He
spent two weeks in a wheelchair with 3 bulging disks. He's just had
the third round of epidural injections. And if that doesn't work,
surgery.

Um... happy father's day, dad? Sorry about that...
