My visit with the spine-dude the other day resulted in a recommendation for a new drug, and an epidural steroid injection. Have already scheduled that for 8 April.

We'll keep up the good thoughts and prayers that the new drug will have the desired results! :boink:

Mext "out" activity for me is a couple of local game conventions: I'm running a Diplomacy game and a Wings of Glory game at the first one; the second I'm part of the Mega-Civilization game. Middle & end of April, respectively.

Sounds like fun. Wish it were close enough that I could make it. :thumbs:

Me too DB.

There are gaming conventions in both your areas, though.

Yes I would guess theres a few places we could go, but then we wouldn't see you. What fun would that be?

There used to be one held at a local junior college but I haven't seen an ad for it the last couple of years Age is working a bit against me but if I were there, I'd definitely stop in to meet you and maybe jseal. Hope the gaming conventions in your area will be great!

Had a nice … warm … sunny day yesterday. Got a few things done outside and my wife and I enjoyed some quiet time together. All things considered, I chalk it up as a winner!

Commuter train back home yesterday was SRO, due tot he Cherry Blossom festival.

Yesterday was really a fantastically beautiful day. Warm, sunny but with just enough of a breeze to keep you comfortable. Loved it. Mother Nature … GOOD JOB! :thumbs:

Kind freaked out the surgeon yesterday: every time he stuck me with the needle, it tickled, and I had trouble lying still so as to not jostle everything. he said it was a first for him.

Anyway, the medicos all said it should take the steroid 3-5 days to work, so we'll see what's what. In the meantime, I've managed to catch a cold.

Sorry about the cold but we'll keep hoping the treatment will be totally and unconditionally a success! :boink:

I'll go along wit ol' DB on that. Wez gonna be thinkin' of ya', of dat ya kin be sure.

Well, nothing but the lingering cough from the cold these days, my foot has stopped the tingling that it used to do. I still have the pains in my lower back & knee, but less than used to be there. I can get around, mostly.
