Recovery...

Well, when those tropics wake up, they really come to life. We currently are watching 4 areas, two of which are tropical depressions. The most impressive looking one is in the Caribbean, Tropical Depression 15. That one has not got its convection wrapped around the center, but it does have an impressive burst of convection east of its rotation center. The next most impressive has a high probability of development, if it stays over water. It is located in the western Caribbean near Honduras and Nicaragua. If it does stay over water, it will most likely be classified soon as a tropical depression. Another area, near sad looking Tropical Depression Nana is another area of somewhat organized convection, which is also east side heavy; however, the environment does not favor significant development.

As for me, I'm feeling a little baaaaaaaad. lol. I had my back procedure yesterday. I had been going to "pain and torture" appointments earlier in the year, changed over to chiropractic care when that wasn't working, and he suggested pain management to work with him and help progress to be made. Yesterday, I had a cervical epidural injection of cortisone and anti-inflammatory medicine to help with the pain resulting from a cervical spine with degenerative disc disorder, bone spurs and a backwards curvature. Unfortunately, much of the time, my C1 is pressing on the base of my skull. Fortunately, I have a team of medical professionals working diligently to correct the problem. Besides the bruising on my left hand resulting from the blown first IV run and a super low blood pressure (90/31... yikes) in recovery, yesterday went off without incident. My wonderful gtb shared some lovely before and after video with me captured on his phone to demonstrate the effects of sedation. I am in significant pain today, I guess as gtb suggested, while things shift around in my body as my swelling goes down. Because of anesthesia used, I was told not to drive for 24 hours, and am staying home today to recover. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers yesterday. The idea of someone injecting into the area around my spinal cord was unnerving. After hearing possible outcomes including paralysis, coma and death... my nerves were a little edgy. I am resting up today, after gtb took excellent care of me last night.That's it for me today... time to drift off into slumber...
