I don’t have much to say today. I am in pain just as I have been for more than a week. The drugs work periodically. As it stands now it will be two weeks before I have an MRI to, possibly, determine what is wrong with me. Then a doctor’s appointment will come a week later in which my VA doctor will probably refer me to a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon. That appointment probably won’t come for another six months. So it looks as if I have at the very least a good half-year of agony ahead. Whoo-hoo!
