Feeling slightly better. If I'm not coughing up green stuff in a couple of days I may do Redlands. Close enough to the house. Crit. 45+. Seems to fit.

New doc is sending me off to get dye shot in my back. Apparently the numbness stuff is a hard diagnosis. Much easier if I was in screaming pain.

Read the CT report while I was waiting to see him:

Findings: There is a mild compression fracture of L1. There is less than
25% height loss anteriorly. There is a compression fracture of the
superior end-plate of L4, demonstrating approximately 25-50% height loss.
There is mild anterior displacement of the fracture fragments. There is a
minimally displaced fracture of the right transverse process of L2 and L3.
There is a nondisplaced right transverse process fracture of L4.

There is normal alignment of the lumbar spine. There is mild disk space
narrowing at L4-5. Small anterior osteophytes are noted at all levels.

I like the guy so far, and the office.Good magazine selection.
