Friday June 16

 Well, a major day in my life. The doctor reviewed the results of the MRI--showed us the pictures, and explained all the various things that were wrong. He described the different injections he proposed to perform. He was cautiously  optimistic that things might get better.

That session finished at about 11.15 am, and we then had to Uber to another location, where I was scheduled to 'go under the needles' at 2.00 pm. Well they put me in a first class room, dressed me in a hospital robe, fancy underpants, support stockings, and those rubbery socks that prevent you from falling.

And then...I had to find ways to wile away the time until the doctor reappeared and I was wheeled off to the operating room..a drip in my wrist, and then I woke up back in my bed. And I was served an excellent lunch.

We left the hospital at about 6.00pm. As I sit here typing I feel no pain

There is a certain amount of pain as I walk around--but nowhere near what I have suffered in the last few days.

We'll have to wait and see
