John was up early for his walk while I slept in this morning.  For the first time in over three weeks I was able to spend the entire night in bed.  Guess it was due to the stronger pain med I took before going to sleep last night.  Whatever the reason, I'm thankful for the good night's rest.

John had a 3:30 p.m. appointment with a dermatologist in Uvalde this afternoon, so that left our morning free to do whatever we wanted.  John headed over to the driving range while I did some work on the computer.  Since we also wanted to do some grocery shopping this afternoon and thought Wal Mart would be pretty busy, we decided to leave right after a quick lunch so we wouldn't be late for his appointment.  Much to our surprise, Wal Mart was pretty empty.  We got all of our shopping done, checked out fast, and had over an hour to kill before his appointment.  John and I decided to get something to eat so we could head home right after he got gone done at the doctor's office.  We ended up at Wendy's since it was just around the corner from where we needed to go.  

The doctor gave John's skin a thorough exam and froze about eight to ten questionable spots.  He wants John to see a dermatologist at home in six months to follow up on a spot on his arm.  He felt everything else was fine and had no concerns.

While we were in the waiting room, my doctor's nurse called with the results of my MRI.  She told me I had a bulged disc and gave me a prescription for nerve pain that should give me some relief.  They will make an appointment for me with a back specialist who will determine the best course of treatment.   It was going to take 45 minutes for the prescription to be filled, so we went back to Wendy's for a couple of Freezys to help pass the time.  Once we picked up the medicine, we hit the road to the fort where we spent the evening relaxing and watching a movie.
