cabensonWell I got my MRI results today and while it showed the disc is slightly protruding (L5/S1) the real bad news was the consistant deterioration along the entire spine. I mean, one of the disc appeared dessicated. I am fine with standing, have a light limp when walking, but sitting is a complete bitch. We are trying another round of steroids, continung pain meds and starting PT again. As long as it keeps me from enduring yet another spinal surgery, I'll try it. Work, to my surprise, is agreeing to let me work from 7am-2pm for the forseeable future. I was planning to cut back on hours this year anyway, so doing it now will help when it comes time to schedule PT.
Since I had today off for the weekend I didn't work last week, I convinced Mrs. CB to play hookie. We started the day at the doctors and after grabbing my meds, we went shopping. Our goal? New panties!!!!! I know you want to see what we bought, but it'll cost you dinner and a movie, just like everyone else.
After our little panty run, we went,courtesy of a beloved friend(you know who you are) to our favorite lunch place, Brio: *** not gonna cut because its just food pron and it's my journal...
We started with roasted red pepper and fresh mozzarella bruschetta, no cheese on Mrs. CB's side. She had a light Pinot Grigio, I had an ultimate cosmo with orange flavored Goose. Very tasty.
Mrs. CB ordered the lump crab and shrimp cakes with roasted veggies in a citrus/pesto butter. I am having some food allergy testing done in a few weeks, so I had to taste them. I still don't like seafood.
I had half a romano crusted chicken salad with bistecca insalata. Mrs. CB teased that all I ate from my salad was tho tomato/bacon/onion and blue cheese, but I did eat half the lettuce wedge. It was just huge!
For dessert we had a couple espressos and some tiny desserts: Mrs CB had wildberry peach crostada and I had a simple creme brulee.
It seems rather decadent to have such a luxurios lunch, but we both really needed it, and to just spend some time together. Between my back, her menopausal symptoms, and an ant invasion, it has been a hectic week. And we ARE joking about menopause cause really, that is the only way we are gonna get both of us through it. You are all gonna hit it one day too, so live and learn. Speaking of menopause, did I mention she has been thinking about adopting a Haitian orphan?
Guess which piece of reading material is mine? Also grabbed TSCC seasons 1&2. Planning a marathon if it rains tomorrow.
And yes, that is the new Vosges DARK chocolate, salt, bacon bar. I cannot describe my love for this bar. 1000 times better than the milk chocolate version. Crispy little pieces of bacon...shit, now I'm hungry again.
Got caught up on Venice the Series. Don't hate it as much as some peeps do. Last two eps are much better than the other offerings. For a web series, I think it has potential. Their website still sucks.
Really want someone to write a GOOD Otalia story where Nat and Gus were married, Olivia got a heart, but Gus was never in an accident and Frank was not central to the story. And they still fell in love. Any takers?
Okay, time for meds then sleep.
Be good!
Okay, gonna

Date: 2010-01-23 01:04 pm (UTC)The boys at my job are bacon fanatics--someone sent them a Vosges bacon bar and they passed it around like a doobie. I wasn't so impressed. Maybe I'll like the dark bar better.
Also, this is officially the year of the panty for me. You are the 6th person I've heard went on a panty run, not including the one I've been meaning to go on for myself. Apparently 2009 was rough on the drawers.

Date: 2010-01-23 10:40 pm (UTC)The panty run was only approved after I promised to go through and toss out the old ones. When we got home yesterdy, we hauled our drawers full of drawers to the living room and sorted while watching BSG "The Plan" and drinking wine:)
