Weekend

Just wanted to say hello, I've been working this whole weekend so I havent' had much time to be on the board.  Friday I was playing phone tag with my pain management doctor since I got the letter from my psychiatrist saying I'm of sound mind to have the stimulator put in me.  The nurse said it could take months for my insurance company to put in, so we just continue the epidural and medication therapy.  I definitely am going to talk to the doctor about his prescription and it only lasting 22 days instead of the 30 days, I'm going to see if he will write it to last  the 30 days, it will be easier on everyone, especially me and the pharmacy.  I'm hoping everyone else is doing well, it's a little quiet on the board compared to last week, so I hope everyone is doing ok.

I'm sorry you've had to work all weekend.  My DH has too and it hasn't really felt like a weekend at all.  We missed you at the pajama party last night but hopefully you didn't make it because you were sleeping!  
The stimulator sounds really interesting. I can't wait to hear how it goes.  I hope the doctor puts you on a regular 28-30 day script.  That is pretty weird that he does 22, but maybe that is just the way that office is?
