Today was an okay day. The usual pain but nothing out of the ordinary that I couldn't deal with. A little lightheadedness though again after using the Gazelle this evening. Good thing I am seeing the doc on Monday. Hubby had a CT scan of his back. We will see what happens with that. Tuesday he has another epidural which I am really concerned about. I can see though why he wants to try this different type of epi. He has a tendency to flatine during surgery so if between drugs and the epis his back pain can be manageable then he won't have to consider surgery at this time. Well no sense worrying about things just have to deal with them as they come.

Thanks. Yes it is scary. He has had like five or six operations in his life and during over half of them he has flatlined. He will eventually need a cornea transplant due to kerataconus and we are hoping he will be able to hold off as long as possible before his vision is bad enough for the surgery to be necessary.
