One of my recent cow-orkers who had constant lower back pain had been approved for a procedure that put some sort of thingie in his spine that would block the pain signals to his brain. I guess he and the doctor decided the signals aren't important in his case. The very idea gives me the willies.
There is a procedure that will end the pain, but I don’t know if that’s the one the doc told me about. She said they would have to run a test first, and if the test worked then the procedure would be offered next.
I wanted to try it, but I couldn’t find anyone to drive me, and NV is really strict about having someone be the driver for any procedure. So strict in fact that they not only want the person’s name but the phone number and they tell them to be available within 15 minutes of their call. No taxi, no bus, no Uber or Lyft.
Now, of course, there is that one, then another steroid injection for my neck, then the cataracts, then the oral surgery... Yes, I need a driver.
W00t!
Monday I is underway!
