I forgot to include this in my earlier blog post, so…here I am again. Yesterday, when I was waking up out of the state they referred to as “Twilight” and the sedatives and analgesics were starting to wear off, I heard one of the nurses say in reference to me, Wow, she’s really tall. As [...]

I’m alive, but medicated, so please forgive any typos. I saw another spine doctor yesterday morning and was headed to a surgery center yesterday afternoon for lumbar epidural steroid injections.

Atom isn’t very sneaky. For example, I was able to correctly guess all of my Christmas presents from him, while they still sat neatly wrapped beneath our tree.

My puppy, Leland Palmer, gave me a wedgie this morning. I was sitting on my bed, bent over to put on my shoes. Seeing my vulnerable position, he hopped on the bed behind me and grabbed a bite of my underwear, which means my pants must have been riding low, and yanked said underwear right on up. This [...]

My parents fly into Denver tomorrow evening. They’ll be greeted by 16″ of snow, a wild puppy and a barking dog, and a broken daughter. I’m looking forward to their visit and am hoping my back will cooperate a little bit, so that I’m able to do some entertaining and sightseeing while they are here. [...]
