devon sticks up, bbq goodness and shitty bedside manner.

devon unveiled her latest creation the other night at emilie's birthday party...what are they? i dunno the name she's given them, but it'll be good since her other creations are called doodlepuffys...these little finger shaped worm-like babies are the perfect fridge magnet. every morning when you go to get your shit out of the fridge they're there looking at ya....i like e'm. devon will be selling these along with some of her other creations at upcoming craft fairs and off the back of trucks around the city...



so...here's the deal with my doctor and his estimation of what's up with my back and what can be done...and i quote here..." you have old man's disease.", "your back is like a jelly donut. and the jelly is getting squeezed out." (bad discs)
so what can i do about it?
"there's nothing you can do."
so the traction, the..(he interupts me...)
"nothing. not traction, not acupuncture, not chiropractor...nothing. maybe if it gets bad to the point where you can't function on day to day, then maybe surgery, but..for now, you do what you can and take it easy when you can't."
huh?
really?
that's that?
ok...
so i got a copy of the ct scan report and i was away. he has this weird casual nature that i'm not crazy about. he's sort of this 50ish hipster ,no socks, frosted tips and choker dude...at one point, a few weeks ago, he said in regards to my pain, "i think you are going to be fine..." and he was kinda smiling and half smirking...now, there's nothing that can be done. nice.
so, i'm getting some other opinions as i should and will continue my home traction, which i stopped on the advice of my sport and spinal guy until we got the report back...and i'll do the home stretching etc..mishi also looked up some stuff on the old interweb and sent me some links that i'll be looking into as well....but i can't believe that at 44 there's nothing that can be done and i'm to live with pain for the rest of my life...
bullshit.

ok...have a great saturday....

g. xo

we had buffalo sausages the other night with other jingus...nice..
