First a little catch up about Thursday. John and I were up and out the door bright and early once again as I had an 8:30 a.m. appointment with my new pain management doctor. John and I spent an hour and half with him going over my history as well as having a physical examine. He felt that my main problem is in the back muscles and prescribed some pain relief meds that are applied to the skin. I also had more blood work done along with some x-rays. It's not to say that I won't have another nerve denervation done, but he feels I need to try another path right now and find the root cause of the pain. I am very comfortable with what he said and have another appointment with him in three weeks to see how the pain levels are after using the new meds.
After finally getting through at the clinic, we went out for lunch and then made a quick stop at the bank before heading home. An hour later we picked up Matt and headed back to Crookston for the junior high track meet. Josh, Jenni, and Rachel all ran personal best times, with Jenni and Rachel placing in their events. We stopped for a quick meal with Matt and Sara following the meet and arrived home rather late again.
It felt good to sleep in this morning and take our time over breakfast. Since our beautiful weather continues, we headed into town to play a round of golf before the course got busy. The above normal temps for this time of year has made us anxious to get busy in the garden, so following lunch, we went to the local greenhouse and purchased some tomato, pepper, and flowering plants. John got the garden tilled and planted the onion sets, dill, and some lettuce. We have never planted this early before, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed we don't have a frost.
