We made it to Wheat Ridge by 6:30am after waking up at 3:30am. An hour later we were out and had confirmed that Lori’s issue is all structural and nothing neurological. After a quick stop at Edwards Meats, we headed up the hill, arriving home around 10am.
This morning at 9, Lori checks in at the surgery center for a 10:15 procedure that are injections in her C5/C6 discs. Hope she gets relief as that’ll confirm that the pain receptors there are causing the issue and we’ll proceed with getting her two levels of ADR, which is artificial disc replacement. They’re made from ceramic and titanium and are the way to go if you need them. Dr. B and Dr. Beckman, down in Lakewood, (who Dr. B was Chief of Surgery with in Texas and the Army) are the two leaders in the World in ADR’s. So, she’s in good hands.
Lori should be out around 11:30 if she gets anesthesia. She usually passes on sedation, but she might get it this time. The whole surgery (injections) takes only a couple minutes total, but she needs to be super still.
The Dems are saying Trump is destroying the White House, when Trump is remodeling a ballroom, all with private money! He’s even donating! What a joke. How anyone can believe anything, any Dem says anymore, is beyond me. And yesterday the Dems voted again to keep the government shut down and not pay essential workers. Everyone needs to remember this next election!
Ty’s off to work already. I’ll go see him while Lori is in the surgery center. Not sure if Steve is coming up from the Springs this weekend. I’ll call him today. That’s it, tough Nuggets loss last night. Of course, the refs missed a last-minute foul on Jokic and it went to overtime. On to the day, God Bless.
