Boredom is a booger

The hub had his myelogram this morning. After we got through the battle ax of a receptionist who seemed a lot like Garfield(I hate Mondays), it was relatively smooth. He did get a bit woozy at first, but after they got a cold washcloth on his neck he was okay. Since we got home, he has had to be either on his side or on his back for the rest of the day. He can get up for meals and bathroom breaks, but only very briefly. Don't want him to start leaking spinal fluid and have to go back. Tomorrow we meet with two docs, so it will be a lot of hurry up and wait...just like today. One can only watch so much television, look out the window and walk the hotel before insanity sets in. Room service never answered the phone, nor did housekeeping, so we have started wondering whether or not the phones in here work. Days like today make books like The Shining plausible. Good thing I'm not writing a novel or have access to an ax. For the last couple of hours, yes hours, we have been watching episodes of Battle of the Network Stars, the December 1981 version and the November 1979 version is on there now. It is beyond question the best thing I have watched in a while. I have learned that George Brett was a complete sexist, as was Robert Conrad, Ed Asner is very hairy in short shorts and a tank top and Lorenzo Lamas' posturing was no match for Mark Harmon's natural athletic ability. Dick Van Patten is currently dunking a WKRP star in the booth.

Prayers for tomorrow that we can have productive consults with the doctors and come away with a peace about what is ahead for Brian and his back. We just want him better. He has suffered a long time.

Until that time, you will find him watching some present sport and me watching Johnny Fever get dunked. Living the dream, friends.
