Stand down red alert!

Shot of something-caine and steroids and (once I stopped trying to faint) all I have now is pressure but not pain why didn't they do this on the 4th?

I am to pretend the pressure *is* pain in terms of staying out of positions where I feel it.

I have a Rx for massage but can't start pt or normal life till after I see spine guy the 18th. And I spent 3 days trying to remember the name of the pt guy I saw in the 90's who was also on Steve's softball team, when lo and behold that is who the pain doc referred me to when I asked if I could have massage. I love this town.

So while I am on my couch, at least if I shift position I get wooden-leg rather than agonizing knitting needles. All for it.
