It was hotter than the hinges of hell today.   And humid as all git out.

At about 4PM it started to rain buckets and came down for quite a bit.    I had decided to water the berms out front and had to slip around the house under the eave to turn the hose off.   Guess I should have waited.   But it is supposed to stay hot for at least two more days before a cool spell moved through.   This is just the beginning I fear.

I had to be at Sheboygan Memorial this morning at 9AM for an epidural on my neck.   It went just fine.   They told me that it could take 2 to 5 days to see if it is going to work.    I also heard that massage therapy can help this procedure to work better and Dr. Gehring agreed, so tomorrow, I will be going to have an upper body massage.   I will do whatever it takes to stop this pain.   I was terribly tired when I got home so took a nap.   I spent the rest of the day quietly doing quiet things.   I worked on my book and contacted several people that I needed to reach.

I intend to go to bed early.   Tomorrow I will have my massage at 9AM and Tim Kunert, a nephew that I have not met, is coming to have lunch with me at noon.   I love his Facebook entries and look forward to meeting him.   Perhaps I can tell him a bit about his uncle who I don't believe he ever met.

So. Until tomorrow.
