The Nathan Update

The latest on Nathan is this...   His MRI revealed a bulging disc.   He saw a doctor yesterday morning.   He is going to get a shot sometime next week.  We aren't sure when yet but obviously hoping for sooner rather than later.   He is still in a lot of pain.  And if the shot does not appear to work, they will start talking back surgery.   He says that sometimes he feels okay as long as he doesn't stand or walk.   Anyone else see problems with that?   There is a good possibility that he won't work for another 6 weeks.  

He has been a real trooper throughout this.  I know that he is in pain and not resting well, but his attitude has been good.   I am afraid I would have lost my patience (or my sanity) a long time ago, but he is coping very well.  

Thanks for your prayers.   Keep 'em coming because we are still hoping for a miraculous recovery.   And that we all stay happy, friendly, and nice to each other.

Erin, I am so sorry to hear this. I haven't been on here in a long time. Praying he is better soon. God is the Great Physician. This disc needs to go back in place.
