Dick woke me up from a drug-induced haze at 8:15 a.m. and told me I had an appointment with the doctor at 9;15. Well I was in no shape to even get out of bed , let alone go out into public. So naturally I gave him a bit of a hard time - Why are you doing this to me, etc,etc.
Well we got there and the Doc is as great as ever. He decides the percocet is not working. so on we go to vicodin, and a steroid medol pack. He schedules a lumbar MRI in August. Whatever. All I want is to go back to bed.
