Went to the Doc yesterday and it looks like there's going to be an operation on my right elbow and wrist within a couple weeks. He'll cut a couple of tendons in hopes of relieving the tingling and pressure.

And despite the uncomfortableness, a friend took me to Dos Cafe where a bluegrass band was having a jam session and I got to play a few songs.

OK I was going to put up another video from one of Reed's gigs but, of course, I forgot to take the chip that I need to record so.... sorry. Anyway I had my second epidural and there was virtually no effect so I see a different doc this Friday. Probably looking at an operation on my right elbow, at least. I'll let you know what else is suggested. One thing--This second epidural seems to have made the symptoms worse. Lucky me. Reed passed a certification test for the financial services company he's training for. That paid him some money and he can now, evidently, get paid for getting people to sign up for insurance and/or mutual funds.

Oh and I guess I should let you know what's been happening with Reed. First he's started an apprenticeship/training program with a group called Primerica Financial Services to sell their insurance/mutual funds products and seems to be taking it seriously. He's also getting up at 6:00 every day to go work out at the gym. This all is in addition to school, band, and his part time job. Busy kid. Hopefully it'll keep him out of trouble. :-))

So only a couple things have happened since my last post. First the docs at Jacksonville Orthopedic gave me an epidural in my neck to see if that had an affect on my neuropathy. Symptoms went down about 50% for about a day or so....so maybe. Another treatment next week. And I met a fun lady from St Louis who hates Trump even more than I do. She sent along her favorite cartoon.
