Today looks to be pretty busy:
1. We are giving the lesson for tomorrow's children's ministry class, which involves some preparation.
2. It's our turn to watch kids tonight for our dating co-op. We'll be having as many as 6 kids in our apartment, so we need to get the place straightened up and have something for them to do.
3. Jennie worked last night and will be working again tonight, so the big priority for her is to sleep today.
4. We have oodles and oodles of laundry to do. On second thought, maybe just one oodles.
5. I'd like to finish the podcast for this week, but it may turn out that it's not possible today. This has to take less priority over the other stuff.
Can't remember something I said on a podcast? Well, I have news for you:
You can search the audio from past episodes via Podzinger.
Podzinger is a podcast search engine that lets you search for things on podcasts just as you would search anything else on the internet.
I submitted my request to be listed some time ago, and, while searching through my GMail, I found the message that contained the link to search the Journey Inside My Mind Podcast.
I'll have to add that to the podcast page and mention it on the show.
Mood: uncomfortable
Listening to: podcasts - attracted by the Theatre of the Mind
Eating: had Chinese restaurant buffet food for lunch
Watching: misc cable shows tonight
I had the lumbar injection experience this morning. I'm feeling very sore in my back, mostly from the injections (plural). Trying to relax and rest.
It was in general a good experience. I loved how the different people who interacted with me said their names, even though I hardly remember any of them.
I'll try to make a point of mentioning this on the podcast this week. Maybe I'll record something on the iRiver.
Update: I've recorded and posted a podcast: JIMM 38 - The Lumbar Injection
Mood: slightly anxious
Listening to: Late Show with David Letterman, PodCheck Review
Reading: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, with Keisha
Eating: just finished some garlic bologna
Watching: myself fall asleep
This morning at 9:30 AM we will arrive at the clinic. At 10:30 AM the doctor will administer a lumbar injection of a steroid. I will be asleep for the procedure, thankfully.
It will take place in a room with an x-ray machine, so that the doctor will be able to accurately see what he's doing.
I've been told to stop eating at midnight, and I've been off anti-inflammatory medicine since Sunday.
I won't be doing any work today.
More to come later.
Mood: sore
Listening to: nothing really
Reading: Getting ready to read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Eating: maybe going to Applebee's for a date with my wife
Watching: nothing
Weather: Now-Partly Sunny, 42 F, Low tonight 24 F
We went to the library and the park earlier. It's such a sunny day that we wanted to get out of our home. I'm not able to do a whole lot because my back is so sore:
It appears that the problem may be higher up now in my back. I almost long for someone to come and "pop" it back into shape. Ever have someone stand behind you reach around and pop your back? I remember also doing it while laying on the floor.
I'm having a "lumbar injection" next Wednesday, so I have to stop taking the pain medicine after tonight until I've had the procedure. Something about blood thinners, etc.
Also, the driver's seat in our car is reclining on its own, and we can't get it back. That, of course, is terrible for my back. As a result, I'm not driving this weekend, and when I do drive to work on Monday, I'll have at least one pillow behind me to help support.
I was supposed to call the Physical Therapist yesterday to get a referral for a chiropractor, but I dropped the ball and didn't realize until after he'd left for vacation that I'd needed to call him. He'll be gone all this week, so I won't have a session until after he returns.
I'm really trying to have a good attitude about all of this, but it's not easy.
God, help me to have a sense of humor, and please bring relief to my pain. Amen
