Today, my back is hurting pretty bad again, I took my pill and it doesn't seem to working this time and I ran out of the Icy-Hot patches which help a little bit more.

I made it through the weekend, I helped my Mom with her stand at the flea market but when I got home on Saturday my back was so painful. Hopefully this week will be good. I see my primary Dr. this week so I will tell him about the discogram and see what he say's.

It's Friday, 48 hours after the discogram and I'm still hurting a little bit. That was a painful process, they put an IV in my arm, then 3 anthesia and 3 shots for the dye, the dye found the pain spot. So now I have to wait until April 14th when I see the surgeon Dr. and he'll let me know what I have to do.

Two days and a wake up, is what we say in the Navy when our enlistment is almost up or when we're about to pull into our homeport after a long deployment. Well, now it's for when I have this discogram. Today my back is sooo painful I can't stand it. I stopped by the chyropractor this morning and one of the Dr.'s must be off because the waiting room was packed, and the line wasn't moving, so I told them I'd be back later this afternoon.

Today I had my Pre-test for the discogram. It mostly just envolved blood work, taking my blood pressure, and they asked me my medical history. It only took about a half an hour. So now next is the actual Discogram. I have to be there at 6am but the Discogram isn't until 8am I have to be there 2 hours before in case there's a cancellation, so the Dr. doesn't have to wait, so I have to wait instead, Whatever, I just want to get this over.
Today was also a bad day for my back I had to lay on the living room floor again because it was so bad.
So far it looks good for the insurance I gave them the no-fault insurance info and when they said if I had a backup (my own) insurance I told them about the HealthyNY insurance and they looked it up online and saw they were processing it and they said that would be good enough. So, whew! at least that's covered :) .
