I can’t believe that half the year has already past. 2008 seems to be sailing by like the Starship Enterprise at Warp 9. For me, the year started with 2 1/2 months of physical therapy for sciatica, which as I’ve now found out after a CT scan, was being caused by spondylolysis, a [...]

Epidural injection
Posted in back pain, tagged epidural, epidural injection, pain management on May 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I got my first epidural injection this morning. The only pain I felt was when the doctor injected the local anesthetic. When he injected the steroids, I just felt a little pressure, but no pain. It was a piece of cake. He said it can take up to a week for the pain relief to [...]
05-07-08 – Another day, another round of pain
Posted in weight loss, tagged back pain, dieting, pain, pain management on May 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Today was a crappy day from a pain standpoint. I guess the one good thing to say about it is I’m about to go to bed. Laying down has been the most comfortable position lately. I was also bad on the eating this afternoon. I didn’t hit the vending machine once, I hit it twice [...]
Forgot to write last night!

I’ve been posting to this blog on an almost daily basis since I started, at least during the week, but I see that I forgot to post last night! I was really tired, so I guess it just slipped my mind. Anyway, I woke up this morning with more lower back and right leg pain [...]

One of my oldest friends, who’s been known as Irish J in this blog (I have to think of a better nickname for him!) has Polycystic Kidney Disease and has been on the kidney transplant for over two years. In addition, he has been on dialysis for close to a year. He got [...]

Happy May Day! I’m not sure what May Day is supposed to signify; maybe it has something to do with spring time. Anyway, I had some more pain today, and some more Aleeve. Have I mentioned that I’m really looking forward to my appointment with the back pain management specialist on Monday? [...]
04-30-08 – And the pain continues
Posted in weight loss, tagged back pain, dieting, food log, pain management, sciatica, weight loss surgery on April 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I have to admit, I’m beginning to look forward to my appointment with the back pain management specialist more so than my appointment with the weight loss surgeon. I’m looking forward to that as well, but right now, this pain just keeps on keeping on. I don’t want to keep taking Aleeve, so I hope [...]
04-29-08 – Another Mental Breakdown!
Posted in weight loss, tagged back pain, pain management, sleep apnea, weight loss surgery on April 29, 2008 | 4 Comments »
OK, I really started today with good intentions, but, as happens too often, it all went to pot. Long story short, it was another Chinese take-out night. I’m now trying to figure out what the trigger was, if indeed there was any. I didn’t have a bad day at work, I’m not [...]
