"Don't be sad for me if I die before you.....because we helped each other live through the hardest part of Life......the rest will be easy."
I hope the above makes sense to you all.

Well....well......well. Fast-forward: Three percocets (sp?), two MRIs, and two morphine shots later.......I'm still bright-tailed and bushy eyed 
(The V.A. finally gave up and sent me to the hospital after 5 weeks)
Maybe the Docs will believe me now when I tell them it..................

OR.....maybe not.

Hopefully they will do something for you quickly!
I've been waiting about two months months now just to find out what the X-ray results were on my thumb after waiting four or five years for them to take the X-ray!

If they say anything just ask them ; what was I supposed to do ? I can't tow my Vette around in a slow , ugly , wheelchair! What would the neighbors think !
Hopefully they will do something for you quickly!

I forgot about my Vette's Birthday!
Am I in big trouble? December 14th, 1967 was the "build date". 
Between tests at the hospital/the ruptured discs/medication/etc. I was distracted/hurting too much to realize the date
: Anyhow.......Happy (late) Birthday to my car!

O.O.K. I'm home from the hospital concerning my paralyzed leg. They injected a nerve blocker drug into my spine where the spinal cord is being pinched. The good news is it works well enough that I am not to the point of yelling. The bad new is I still am hurting too much to work on the car.....and the wheelchair is my method of transportation.
It's really a strange thing to be walking one day and wheeling the next.....BUT....wheeling is better than 24/7 in the bed!
