Default Wednesday "Hump Day" Roll Call

Howdy gang... Might as well get the midweek Roll Call rolling... Rolls or donuts, anyone?
Well, last evening's "date with the MRI Radiologist" was really a "non-event"... I've had it done so many times now, it's almost a bore. But, as I expected, my cervical vertebrae look like a bad train wreck. I got the films (my OrthoSurgeon asks for film copies of the digitized results) to bring with me to my next appointment. I'll have to see if I can make some copies of the more sadistically graphic views...
After an overnight low temp of 37°, it's cool and sunny today... Autumn is positively in the air...

Have a pleasant Hump Day! I'm off to class... Got coffee?

Much love and

I'll have a couple of doughnuts and a cup of tea with cream and sugar.
I've got a virus right now and tea would probably be better for my
throat.

I was supposed to have a procedure done yesterday where the nerves
in the right side of my lower back would be cauterized. They were
going to do the right side first, then I'm supposed to keep a "pain diary"
for a week or 2 (I forgot which) and if there was some improvement in
my level of pain, they would do the same thing to the left side. Naturally,
since I got sick, the appointment was cancelled. Now, I have to wait
until October.

I hope all of you had a great Wednesday. Ponyboy, I live just a little south of you, and the weather has been great, but not as cold a 37. Too early for that! But I am loving the low humidity, sunshine, and nice, cool temps.

Has anyone heard or seen anything from Melanie? I miss her posts, and calling me honey. It would have been nice if we had e-mail addresses to let everyone know this is here. I was so happy to find it!

Well, I am going for my evening coffee. So I may see you all in the very early AM!
Carolyn

LOL, no doughnuts for mee, don't think that is in the low carb diets

Today was Turkey day on the BBQ grill, the third one I roasted this summer and it came out great! I will be doing it next summer on the BBQ grill also, save on the Central A/C coming on a bit in the summer heat.

I am awaiting results of a Thoracic MRI that I had Monday morning, hoping to get a copy of the report tomorrow and finally hoping for a dx for a nasty pain I have in that area ever since I fell off a ladder flat onto my back in June 2005!

Other than that, fall weather arriving here also, most likely near 39 or so tomorrow morning. brrrrrrrr
