That is what will continue at the hospital over the next few weeks starting on Wednesday in addition to the 'Taser' (as I lovingly refer to it). I'm still not sure what was blasted in Husband's spine (L3, L4 and L5) but he will receive the combination of these treatments and be re-evaluated in 6 weeks. Husband is miserable about it...which, naturally, makes me miserable. I have sympathy misery.
At least we are home now. Happy. Happy. Joy. Joy. Work tomorrow.
There is a huge fire south of Alpine. It was approximately 1100 acres as of this afternoon. We saw several U.S. Forest Service vehicles when we drove through town and I understand there are planes flying over with fire retardant. The winds were picking up earlier and the weather channel says there is a 'cold front' coming in which will also increase the winds. Not good.
It was a weird trip. On the way to Big Spring on Tuesday there was a Border Patrol check on Highway 67 north. They were actually stopping vehicles. Strange. They must have been looking for somebody or body-s. When we got to Odessa, we started seeing the effects of the fires from this past weekend. Big Spring had a lot of wind and fire damage. Once they get some spring rain, if they ever do, it should be amazingly green. On the way home we saw smoke off to the north of us towards Midland and saw a huge plume of smoke. We found out it was a 300 acre grass fire caused by a spark from a truck that had driven out into a dry sand field. It totally engulfed the truck but the driver was OK. You could see it for miles. Then, when we were about 10 miles from turning south to Alpine, we topped the hill on IH 10 and saw many cop cars. Mostly Sheriff's Dept and DPS. There appeared to be a one car rollover wreck. We haven't heard any thing on the news as yet about it, but I would be amazed if the passenger(s) lived. We are thinking a wind gust most likely picked it up and tossed it around. The car was a small compact and was totally smashed all the way around. Not good. Very depressing trip.
I just ate an orange. It was half juicy and half dry. Almost split down the middle. Strange. The juicy part tasted great. I only ate the juicy part. They had some Clementines at the grocery store today. I have never had one. I don't think. I ate the orange I swiped from the breakfast bar at the hotel today so I figured I'd eat that first. I'll have a Clementine tomorrow. I wonder if the sugar content is any higher in them than a navel orange? I always check my blood sugar before I eat any fruit but especially an orange.
By the way...I soaked in the tub until I was completely pruny last night. I kept running in water as hot as I could possibly stand it. It was mesmerizing.
I guess I'll try to get some rest. I slept like a log last night, but it was another long day and longer drive. Very tiring. Have a great night.
