As I sit here my granddaughter, Calyn is cutting out oval shapes and coloring them as Easter eggs.  She's telling me it's for decorating around my house.  She's 4.  Won't be 5 until August.  And she has something to say about everything, all the time.

I haven't been on here to post in a while.  First I had computer problems, and for the last month and more I have had a pinched nerve in my back that shoots pain down my right leg.  I've had an MRI (boy that's a story!), and seen an orthopaedic doctor.  On Monday, March 31 I go to a pain management doctor for a shot.  Now I have time without pain but there for a while I couldn't stand, sit, or lay down without pain.  My heating pad is my best friend.  It's gradually getting better.  I was on a dose of steroids for 6 days.

Let me tell you my MRI story!  Get ready to laugh!  Several years ago I discovered at my last MRI that I am claustrophobic.  I scheduled this MRI in an "open" MRI machine.  Well, as soon as they moved me into the machine I started to stress out, I told them I couldn't do it.  The machine was open on the sides but it still went over my head.  Well, I called my best friend, Janice, crying (she thought something tragic had happened) and asked her if she could bring me back when I could be on some anti-anxiety medicine.  SO... I called my doctor and he prescribed some medicine for me.  I was to take it one hour before hand and then I could take another pill just before the MRI.  And I did.  Let's just say, I was staggering around.  The technician said she thought I was asleep.  When I was done I staggered back to the dressing room and needless to say I had no modesty, I just proceeded to get redressed.  We then had to go pick up my granddaughter from daycare.  Janice says I was staggering around, not really talking very sensibly.  I don't even remember getting home or when Calyn was picked up.  I do remember Janice telling me the song that was playing when the MRI was being done was "Yesterday" by the Beatles.  "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay, oh I believe in yesterday"  Janice was laughing, like 'what a song to play'!

Anyway, we just got back from a gourmet meal at McDonald's.  This makes two days in a row.  I tolerate McDonald's for the sake of the playground Calyn likes to play on.  My favorite burger would be Burger King.

I hope you all had a great Easter.  I enjoyed having the extra day off.  Yesterday I had to hide the plastic eggs about 5 times for Calyn, then she hid them about 3 times for me.  This is our normal Easter routine - she loves the hunt!

Ok, it's now time for me to go visit some other blogs.... leave me notes!  I'll review them and if your not spamming me, I'll actually post them.
