Last Friday Rich went to the Joint and Spine Institute in Sebring about his back. They took x-rays and identified the compression fracture, and then set him up for an MRI in the afternoon, back here in Lake Placid. He spent 30 minutes in the MRI machine..( and informed me immediately afterward, that I would not last 10 seconds in there!) having to remain completely still. Said his hands and arms were starting to get numb, being crunched so close to his chest. Today he had his follow-up and they have identified problems with both the L-4 and L-5, as well as pinched nerves. He goes back on Monday for a shot...........which they will not do unless he has someone to drive him home. Everyone has pretty much warned him that the first shot can be painful.
In the meantime...................
Remember the house number sign that was on our mailbox that was pretty
destroyed by the hurricane...Well, he did get it repaired, repainted, and new numbers put on. And since we lost the speckled paint....he added his "fish" accents! I love it!
On Saturday Nathan dropped off Miss Ava for the week. He and Krystal will be in Lake Whales for the week doing some training with two of their horses.
We always enjoy having Ava stay with us........and this time is no different. And it seems that every time she comes..... she brings some cooler weather with her. These were all taken the first day she arrived.
Haven't had a lot going on.......so she's found all of her favorite places to relax.... including watching out the back sliders.........and keeping Rich company while he works. Had a lot of rain the first couple of days, and she and I got soaked going for a short walk one night! But she was out looking for her buddies next door, checking out the water, and playing in the yard today.
