Hence, I couldn’t write much tonight, but since I make it my business to write daily, I threw this together in my writer’s notebook:

  1. I thought about you this weekend, hoping that your slice would mark your return to normal. When do you find out the results of the test?

  4. I went through those long nights for years after a car accident, until I did get the MRI. It showed that 2 of my vertabrae, 5-6 and 6-7, were collapsed and the bone spurs were pressing on the nerve to my right arm and hand. Thus, numbness, tingling, aching pain! I had ACDF surgery in Feb 07. I’m good as new.

    Please get the MRI. You will be glad you did.
