Just took a few minutes to catch up on this thread a bit.

Barb, I'm jealous of you...I'm getting due for the next batch of epidurals, and it can't come soon enough for me.

My pain management doc loads them up with so much lidocaine (or whatever actual numbing medicine) that when I'm done, I could go walk through the mall, I could go dancing, heck, I could probably go climb Half Dome!

Unfortunately, that really only lasts about 3 days, and I'm back to hurting for a couple of days till the steroid kicks in.

Weather here was sunny and about 80 yesterday. My lilacs are in full bloom, and the scent is everywhere. During their short bloom period, I keep at least one or two sprays of them in the house at all times.

We're supposed to have highs in the mid to upper-70's for the next week.
Won't be long before it's 100 here again.
