Default My recent medical procedures.

I've been seeing a pain management doctor for lower back pain. I've had two procedures, goofed up on Propofol, injecting steroids into places on my spine and then hot needles to deaden nerves running along my spine, both of which did zip. Friday I had blood withdrawn (totally out on Propofol), put in a centrifuge for 15 minutes to remove some stuff, and reinjected with my own now platelet-rich blood (No, it's not blood doping, exactly), along with more injections. This seems to have worked. The pain is down quite a bit. I'm encouraged. I was going to give up on this guy, but now maybe not. Anne Marie is getting tired of driving me home from Beverly Hills, about 1 1/2 hours each way, after these procedures.
