EPIDURAL NO. 3

Today I go for the third and final epidural shot. I shall miss these shots, because it was my ticket to an early weekend. It sure was great "crashing" on the Fridays of my shots.

I want to thank Kindra, my "hiking wife," for providing transportation during these last five weeks. She has had the same kind of treatment herself, so I guess you can call her my "mentor" as well. Kindra, I owe you big time and I am good for it! I know, "What comes around, goes around!"

I also want to thank Dean, who works in the MIS Department, for providing me a ride to work on two of the three Fridays. It was very nice of him to offer a ride. Dean gave me a ride to work on March 10. He wasn't feeling well yet he still showed up at my apartment complex and drove me to work and then he went home. Above and beyond the call of duty. Dean also stopped by last Saturday to fix my computer woes!

I have been pain-free for 11 days today. It has been amazing I have lasted this long without any discomfort aside from the tingling sensation in my right toes.

That concludes the hiking on this trail. Time to head back to base camp to rest and recover.

One more down and many more to go.
