Now the particulars:

Merry Christmas to one and all.

If you read the chronology it was a lot of work. Getting cookies made, getting the stuff ready for the Zitti on Thursday night. And of course the clean up afterward. You have all been through it probably many times so I’m not going to bore you with those details.

What was significant to me was getting my Epidural scheduled for Wednesday the 7th of January. They will be giving me injections at two locations in my back. If you are interested in those specifics I will email the MRI results. Then that Friday I will got back to Results Physiotherapy for my evaluation before I start PT. I’m rather excited to get this started and hopefully fix some of these problems.

Elf at the dinner theater was less than I had anticipated. I guess since I didn’t know the show or story and couldn’t relate to any of the music I was disappointed. But as always, the cast was fantastic. And they had a little guy that couldn’t have been more than early teens and he could sing. A very amazing performance on his part.

I got lucky and only had one day of work this week. Next week I have nothing. Then the week after I”m back to 3 to 5 days a week.

Well that’s about all the excitement here. Hope you all had a great Christmas and that you are safe and healthy. Stay that way and I’ll blog at you next week.
