On the horns of another dilemma

Okay dear friends I need your input again.

The doctor called and I have a badly ruptured disc and one that's basically on it's way.

Three years ago I had back surgery to remove three discs.


I really don't want to go through that again.

Physical therapy does nothing for me but make me hurt more.

Do any of you have experience with acupuncture?

Read a long article about it last night and if it would avoid surgery I will be all for it..

I don't want to wait too long as I did last time.

So fellow blogger I am in a quandary..

If you have had experience with it let me know. Even if it was a friend of a friend.

I know, I know, with me it's always something...

love and trust you all. What should I do?

My MRI

Now I don't think I'm a baby but I really have a fear of enclosed places. So when the doctor

mentioned last week that I needed another MRI as well as a traditional XRay I panicked.

Usually I take a valium (doctor perscribed of course) and hubby takes me and off we go...but...

he couldn't take me this time. He had to open at his stupid club....so I had to go all alone...no

drugs...just me in that huge machine.

Not a big deal, one of my friends said...just imagine your floating in a huge pool of water in one

of those sensery tanks...keep your eyes closed...you will feel refreshed and wonderful when it's

over...just keep your eyes closed.

I am never speaking to her again, but off I went...all alone...into that huge machine...I hate

my husband...I hate my friend...I hate myself most of all for being such a baby...I did okay for

the first half hour...I only whimpered a little...but then, because I had had back surgery three

years ago...I had to have some sort of injection and go back in. I cried a little...if you call moaning

and sobbing a little...she said should I stop...will I have to come back...yup pretty much she said

then keep going I sobbed...by the time I got out I was soaked. Perspiration? asked a technition

nope tears my technition whispered...you didn't do too badly she snickered...when hubby

asks me how it was I may hit him with something...ya know it's all about him.

I am overwhelmed

We should all welcome our dear friend Santa back where he belongs. I have missed him so much as I am sure you have too. I hope and pray the evil doers that have kept him off this site has gone away for good. What makes people decide that they can determine who is on this site. It has been just nasty for Santa and others. I am ashamed of whomever has done this to them.

I am so happy with my beautiful new site. My dear friend Santa created it for me as my dear
Friend perps pointed out. I have remarkable friends and I feel I wish I could do something to thank each and every one...maybe I will get a brain flash and create an award...relax Santa...I really didn't mean you should do it (laughing).

Last night we took out daughter-in-law number one (in more ways then one) and family
For dinner at a steer house...my poor son (older son) had just had a root canal but he managed to eat a crab meat pie...Grumpy (no that's not a typo) had a steak, one of the beautiful granddaughters had a chicken dinner and the other had a burger and clam chowder...the birthday girl and I had surf and turf...lobster pie and prime rib...I could only eat half of the beef but demolished every other bite...Grumpy didn't even faint this time when the bill came.

I asked the waitress to bring something special with a candle in it so we could sing happy birthday. She brought something with cake, ice cream, whipped cream, hot fudge, and a cherry.
When asked if she wanted extra spoons with witch to share she laughed and said "no thanks, this will be just fine" so funny and such a good time.

I will be boring you from time to time with details of my life...you can run away...I don't blame you.

Thanks to Santa I have a lovely new site and I will honestly try to keep it in good shape and not lose the passwords again (silly me).
