Where I work, and Dr. Report

Below is my desk at work--at least where I'll be until the end of June. Sooner, if possible. A little messy but I do try to keep up with it. I also change out the 'decor' above the orange boxes with each holiday. It's St. Patrick's Day this month.

I had a meeting with Dr. P, my pain specialist, today. After several tests and whatever, it seems what I might have is piriformos (?) syndrome. Basically, my piri. muscle is pushing on my sciatic nerve. It is not sciatica since that's caused by a herniated disc and my discs are okay. The EMG tests I had last week indicate that the signal going along the sciatic nerve is slowing down when it goes past the peri nerve.

So I'm going to PT again, but this time specifically for my problem. Pray God, it works. I want to be DONE with this.

Becoming

I bought this Amarylis around early December and have had it in my window at work. It more than tripled in height with no flower, but today I finally see that it's about to bloom. Katherine says that after the flower dies and the plant fades, I can cut it down and put the bulb in storage for next year! (Although I won't have the nice, big, sunny window at work by then since I don't plan to be there.)

This puppy is about 3 inches from top to bottom, but the plant itself is almost 2 feet tall. I think it looks somewhat 'alien.'

On another topic, I'm having an MRI done on my back today. I hope they find out what the hell has been killing me for these past 20-ish years. Or at least, a way to fix it. I wish.
