Well I worked until 2 pm and then took off for the Dr.  I&#39;ve just got back from the Dr. He says it sounds/looks like sciatica and is treating me for it, but would like me to go for a Lumbar Spine MRI on Thursday.... yuck the Iodine again.  I told them I will go if the health insurance doesn&#39;t slap me with a huge co-pay, so we&#39;ll see.  Sorry I feel like I spend my time reporting on my health miseries, but at the moment I can&#39;t stand this pain.... so I&#39;m going to lie down for a while.  I&#39;ve taken a Vicodin and it&#39;s made me very woozy&#33;  I&#39;ve got to get better to be able to open the office at 7:30 tomorrow morning.<br /><br />It has been raining (pouring) for the past 6 hours here... of course we can&#39;t really complain because we need all the rain we can get to get ourselves out of the deficit.  I&#39;m not sure of the rainfall numbers today, but as you know we live on the Hillsborough River and the river has risen about 2 foot.... yeah&#33;&#33;  Tony got up on the roof early this morning before the rain and found and fixed the problem - thank heavens we still had a gallon of roofing tar in our garage, so he could take care of the repair job without having to schlep to Home Depot.<br /><br />Ed - I&#39;m sure you must be very concerned about Roe.... I sure hope she gets to have a good rest from those awful treatments. When are you going to take up that California offer?<br /><br />Shari - so glad Marc is doing well.<br /><br />Robert - I think a lot of people feel like you do about that awful behavior of Harrison&#39;s... it&#39;s such a pity that &quot;role models&quot; can&#39;t control those emotions, we hope he is going to have to suffer the consequences for his bad decisions.<br /><br />Maria - enjoy your long awaited cruise... hope you and Ken feel re-energized after the break on the ocean.<br /><br />Sue - what nationality are you?  I&#39;ve been meaning to ask you.  Were you born here?<br /><br />Steve - so glad Gramps enjoyed his martini.... oh yes and the game ...  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Shaunna - how are you doing?<br /><br />Debbie - sorry that Phil have a bad forecast... lets hope he is wrong.  Glad that DS is OK, and that your worries are over ... actually I also have one of those benign cycts on my tonsil, I have had it for about 12 years, my Dr at the time told me they were quite common.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
