I went to the doctor today for what I thought was going to be my epidural.  I had been nervous all morning because I don't like needles, and I especially don't like the idea of a needle in my spine.  The anestesiologist who is doing the epidural showed me a model of a spine he had in his office.  He showed me where my injury was, what the problems were and how he would do the epidural.  He will do it under x-ray so he can get it exactly where he wants it.  Then he told me he won't be doing it today.  He does it at the hospital.  So no epidural today. 

I have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 9:30.  They will do the epidural at 10:30 and I will head home at 11:30. 

While I am having my epidural done, at the exact same time my hubby will be having surgery on his ear!   We both should be walking in the front door around noon tomorrow.  It will be interesting because he will be going home to bed to rest, and I will be going home to bed to rest.  Sure hope we can take care of each other! 

All prayers will be a blessing!  The doctor told me it takes about 48 hours for it to work.  I am praying it does.  I want to get off the pain medicine and get back to normal.
