Back Update
Jan. 14th, 2004 07:37 amThis isn't a con report because I don't have anything like enough time this morning :-)
Readers may remember that I've been having trouble with my back. Those who attended GaFilk may realize that it got more serious last week. I went to the doctor yesterday and he thinks I've got a bulging disc (the cartilage between the vertebrae that make up the spine) that is pressing on the nerves that run to my leg. The good news is that it doesn't seem to be very serious (yet). He put me on sterioids and anti-inflamatories and such to bring down the swelling around the disc so that it can slip back into place. I am now armed with a battery of medicines that have to be taken at different times.
( Extra stuff here for those who are interested )
