TUESDAY HUMOR & PAIN UPDATE

Well guys here it is 3:30 A.M. and my pain is uncontroable for some reason.  I saw the Pain Mgt Doc   and he went thru the reults of my disc-o-gram and CT Scan that I done last week.  The picture is not very good.  I am going to Indianapolis this Friday to talk with a specialist regarding neurostimulation which is Spinal cord stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation that uses  an implanted device—a spinal cord stimulator (sometimes called a pacemaker for pain)—to deliver low levels of electrical energy directly to nerve fibers. This direct approach to treating pain at its source can be very effective in several paitients.  I have talked to a few people who have the implant  and it has really reduced their pain.  If this does not work then it will be about a controlled pain medication plan. I worry about taking pain meds due to the fact that it can have negative outcomes like my dear friend CB is going thru right now. Ok now for the real reason you came to this post is a bit of humor.  I still think humor is a good treatment.  My friend Russ from Texas sent me a bunch of Jerry Clower comic shows.  I listen to those every time I really start feeling super depressed.

Today local police found a man's body in a park nearby.  They describe him as having a Beer Belly, Saggy Balls, Wrinkly Ass and a Small Penis. Let me know if you're OK. Your Concerned Friend

Hey Dan, you have my prayers on  the pain front.  I'm going through some upper back pain (more due to stress and long hours at the computer more than anything else).  Very minor compared to going through what you are. Thanks for takign the time to do the humor each day.  And thanks for your letter above.  I'm afraid I resemble that remark too much these days....although the beer belly is is bit smaller than it used to be. Keep us posted on your progress. Thanks as always, Greg
