The radiology report is in! Actually, it's been in for a while; I only got a copy of it yesterday. That herniated disc material that's leaning into my spinal cord and compressing the nerve root? It's calcified. Yep: nothing like having a rock stuck between bones and nerves.

Talk about your daily grind...

I did get a new Rx from my doctor (my regular doctor -- the specialist doesn't return my calls). It's a mucle relaxant. It doesn't seem to alleviate any pain, but it certainly does make my limbs all heavy and rubbery. Maybe I'll try it with what I have left of the Vicodin -- see what it's like to be numb and rubbery.

BTW, will someone please post the latest count of athletic shoes contained in the Kahuna collection?
