I'm Supposed To Be Relaxing

No real topic today. In fact, I'm not even supposed to be doing this. I had another series of injections in my spine this morning (see earlier post), and the doctor said I'm supposed to just relax today. You know how I bristle under the heel of authority, and I'm sitting at the computer anyway, so I thought I'd drop in and keep you updated. Besides, just because someone spent most of their lives in med school, doesn't make them the boss of me. If that sounds childish, blame it on the pain medication.

The procedure went very quickly. I only got to hear three songs from the doctor's iPod. This is a strange phenomenon. Both times I had this procedure done, the doctor's biggest concern was what type of music I wanted to hear. I don't care, as long as it isn't some head banging jam that gets them bouncing around so that their aim is affected. I don't know of any injection specific music, but I'm sure there is some out there. What did we do before iPods? Maybe the nurse had to sing to the patient acapella.

Look, I managed to get a post up, AMA, or "against medical advice" as the health care folk like to say. My back is a little sore, so I'm off to sit in the "Comfort King" and ice myself down. Maybe I'll add some of that ice to a delicious beverage. Take away the shots, and this would be the life. Talk to you tomorrow. Later...Brian
