I got my appointment for the discogram today (now doesn’t that look like fun!).

The general gist of the procedure is: they stick a needle in each of the 3 discs in question and make injections into each disc, one at a time (kinda like this…. only with more needles). When a disk with problems becomes injected, it reproduces the pain you’re having (so they can narrow it down to which disk actually needs fixing). Oh… and since they need to see the reaction, I can’t take my pain meds that day. Sound like fun? You betcha!

Since this takes about 4 hours total time (most of that is spent in recovery), it’s gonna be a long day.

And speaking of long days… working from home sucks! By nature, I’m a very social creature. I’ve been isolated for a few weeks now and it’s really starting to get to me. I’m grateful that I don’t have to go into the office (riding in a car viciously tears my back up), but I find myself very, VERY bored. I have plenty of work to do, but I miss the social interaction. Hanging out with the smoky crew in the shed, lunch with Jess, Trev, and Stokes. The whole work scene.

*sigh*

I wanted to post some wacky link or funny image today… but I’m not really into it today. Perhaps tomorrow (and, then again, perhaps not).
