How did you do at the doctor, George?

Pinched nerves in the cervical vertebrae appear to be causing most of
the problems. With my right side being compromised by long ago strokes,
having another problem just makes it worse. I'm staggering when I walk
and am using the four legged cane more often. Basically it's a big PITA
and other parts too. Should be getting a call from the outfit that does
our Medicare Advantage plans rehab for old geezers and there's some
electro something or another in the picture a little further down the road.

Electro-stimulation of the cervical vertebrae, I am guessing. Hope
that helps. I bet some therapy will, too.

The young doctor appears to be top notch and tortured me with pins,
needles, and a small hammer or two for about an hour. Mostly he said
"Can you feel this." And I said "ouch." He's got a good sense of humor
which is more than I can say about most doctors. I think it will come
okay in the end.

All the doctors look young to me these days.

Still harvesting giant zucchini's, getting harder to find them so I'm
thinking of setting up a deer stand nearby to catch them moving. The HOA
won't let me use a firearm but I've got a pretty powerful air rifle
handy. If I survive I might write a book about "Stalking the Giant
Zucchini and Surviving."

I cannot grow any viners down in the main garden. Groundhogs do it all
in. Haven't grown zukes in years, which is ok, because everyone who
does grow them has plenty to give away.

We've been giving away asparagus until people stopped looking us in
the eye in the neighborhood for fear we'd foist some off on 'em.

One of them is being eviscerated this evening and stuffed with pork
sausage, sweet chiles, brown rice, and lots of spices.

Good way to make them disappear in a delicious way.
