Been A While

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted. Between work and dealing with my back I just haven't felt much like sitting down and writing.

I had my first set of injections this morning. I've been hesitant to go this route but my Dr. suggested going with one to see if we can get any sort of relief. Today they actually did what they call a Facet Block. They actually inject the steroid next to the facets of the spine in the area they believe is causing the problem. This is much less "invasive" then the epidural which they are planning on doing next week. After today's injections, they say I won't know the effectiveness for two to three days. Right now, the injection site is pretty sore and I have that miserable aching back feeling.

My whole goal is to get back on the bike. It's been almost two months and I hate it. It's one of those things, you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Man I miss riding.

Other than my back, everything is going very well. Work is good, home is good. All is good.

I do have to give a huge thanks to my Ortho. He set up todays appointment with the pain specialist and even showed up for my prelim appointment last night. He's pretty awesome to take time out of his day to go sit through of all things, a doctors appointment.

That's all for now. I'll try and write more later.
Have a Great Day
