Hi Sharon,

From my X-rays it shows that I have scoliosis, arthritis in the back, moderate slipped disc, two fractured vertebrae. My MRI study results in and they came out good, nothing to worry about, but I do have mild to moderate nerve(s) around my lower back to my left hip area, nothing to worry about. Also my doctor's practitioner nurse gave me a phone to call to the "pain clinic" and I did call this past Friday and the pain clinic and the person I talked to said they don't have the referral, so I e-mailed the doctor's office this past Friday and told them the pain clinic didn't find the referral, I got a reply back this morning saying that "The referral is in the system". Today I'll give the "pain clinic" some time today and take it from there.

My MRI results, my MRI study results in and they came out good, nothing to worry about, but I do have mild to moderate nerve(s) around my lower back to my left hip area, nothing to worry about. Which I have inflamed nerves in that area.

That's one reason I got the referral for the "pain clinic" and that I'm complaining about pain in my back and in my left leg/left hip area.

Glad you are here Jason. I understand being busy......Hoping all these tests show you are a-ok.

Hugs,

Sharon

Christine-  Just wanted to thank you for the great ideas and websites.  There is so much we want to do and only will be there 4 days.  But Amanda lives there and will be seeing her again....so what we don't do this time will be on the to do list next time. 

Good Morning,

I don't know what I did, but I was makinga layer cake yesterday, for Hubert's birthday today, and the darn thing started splitting in half. It may have been a tad warm yet, so I ended up getting a bakery cake.  I think that is the first time that has happened.

Sharon, I have been seeing a few open toed shoes this week. Personally, I think it is a bit early, but do what you feel.

I have been finishing up  the house for company tonight. We went food shopping  yesterday, so, I can finish and be done.

Have a great Saturday,

Hugs,

Crystal, yes you will be there before us. I have done a lot of research for things to do there. We have been there before but did not get to many things due to getting on a cruise to Hawaii a couple days later. Dave was there many times on business but did not do the touristy things. So, I have done a fair amount of research.

1. Bainbridge Island is supposed to be great to see. There is a car ferry that goes over. Cars are charged to cross but foot traffic is free. https://www.bainbridgeisland.com/ferry You cannot beat free!
2. My "sister" niece says this is great to go and see. It is the Seattle Underground area of the past Seattle. http://www.undergroundtour.com/about/index.html
3. China Town http://seattlechinatownid.com/
4. Museum of Flight http://www.museumofflight.org/
5. Different Seattle tours. Boeing, Mt Rainier and other tours. http://www.seattle.com/attractions/day-trips.html
6. You mentioned Pike Place Market (been there before and we are going back)
7. We probably will go back to the Space Needle.
8. We are staying at the FairMont Olympic Hotel that is downtown and in walking/taxi distance of many attractions. The hotel is a designated hotel to stay at pre cruise. Be sure to look at the website. It looks fantastic. http://www.fairmont.com/seattle/ Many of the places above are within walking distance of our hotel.

Dave is a former private pilot and a flight enthusiast (he fights me for the window seat but opts for the flight deck audio on the headphones) so we are going to Boeing (camera restrictions - no camera phones or personal cameras due to proprietary info on the tour). I will make sure we go to the rest of the things except Mt. Rainier. With my Colitis I will not be able to make the 10 hour tour without being close to a potty. The tour is not all driving but I need a potty when I need it). Sorry TMI but it is a BIG part of my life.
