Strange, the four of us have not had a broken bone. Are we related in some way?

SG, Cyber and I get peritonitis about every eight years. A few months ago I had Cyber get the laser cure for the Big P. I was too afraid. I’ve had it done since, and it’s as bad as the gum cutting. But we will now never lose a tooth. He’s now had his teeth cleaned, and I have that done the following Tuesday after this one.

But on Thursday, I get the ten to twelve shots right into my upper spine every other week for three weeks. No steroids are used. I had it done three times to my lower back, and the pain is only about a 1 to 2 on the scale of ten. Thank you, Dr. Tom. Oh, the nurse had to hold my hand for the first set of shots. LOL!

You poor thing! I’ll be keeping a good thought for you this week. I hope it’s not too bad.

It’s truly not that bad until the next day. I have to stay in a resting position for most of the day, but what the heck, I can order from catalogues. LOL! Also, they give me the quick spray injections so it doesn’t hurt as much. It’s like a small shotgun with an anasthetic in it. They didn’t explain it to me the first time, and I almost went through the roof. Now I know what’s happening, so no biggie. Really.

If this works as well as it did in my lower back, I’ll be in heaven. Then it will be just the mid-back. This is all done with “natural” ingredients. I probably should ask what it is.

Thanks for caring . . .
