Getting The MRI itself was uneventful. I'm glad I'm not claustrophobic is all I'll say. My doctor's office called this morning and the doc must have seen something in the MRI because I'm being referred to a specialist. A specialist of what, I neglected to ask. I also neglected to ask for a hint of what the doctor discovered.

The specialist's receptionist called after lunch, and I'm scheduled for an appointment August 18th and the specialist is A FREAKING SPINE SURGEON. I finally asked some questions but his receptionist was clueless. I called back to my doctor's and he and his nurse are gone for the day so I have to call back tomorrow morning.

You know, my seemingly constant medical problems had me believing I'm some kind of hypochondriac. But wtf am I supposed to think now?

In other nicer news, Brenden washed the dishes last night. He was pretending to be Spongebob working at the Krusty Krab (Brenden likes to cook and makes some good scrambled eggs, too). Every once in a while he would walk over to me (I was sitting at the table reading my Kindle) so that I would have to say "Get back to work, Spongebob! Yer losin me money, Spongebob! Think about the customers, Spongebob!" in my best Mr. Krab's voice. He thought it was great fun. Me, too, arrr.

I always admit when I am wrong....maybe Sponge Bob has been a good influence....good job B...
and I do want to try those scrambled eggs...I am sure they are better than mine.
Keep us posted Sandy on your doc visit...Love to all.

Ilu: I remember the cookies he helped you with, in Oklahoma. If you want to make B happy let him help in the kitchen! He's really good with scrambled eggs, provided you keep a sharp eye on how much salt he uses.

I spoke with the doc and he thinks I may have a bulging disc.

Love to you, dad and Shiloh!

I guess there are worse things than a bulging disk, so at least you have an idea. I've known several people who've had that and gone through the debate of surgery or not surgery.

Cooking with Brenden sounds hilarious and fun.
