When James was being admitted at the surgery center in Phoenix we found out he is not actually scheduled today to have his nerves clipped. They will give him several shots today to determine if the nerve clipping will help him. (We are a little embarrassed because we have family members prayers and concerns.) Anyway after the check in proceedure we were only in the family waiting room for a few minutes when they called James's name. He was back in ten minutes. The doctor did six injections in his back. He wants him to give his back a workout for the next three hours. He says if James feels no pain that means they will be successful in getting rid of the pain when they clip his nerves. The sad news is that the injections did not get rid of any pain, not even for a minute. Now what do we do? Very disappointing.
We went to Olive Garden on the way home to drown our sorrows. Good food is such a comfort. Went home and did another of our favorite things, took a nap.
I called Trina to see if we could come over this evening and bring the move "Arthur and the Invisibles" for the kids. She said yes, and would we like to come to dinner. Of course. Trina is always so thoughtful. The dinner was so nice, pasta salad, chicken salad and flatbread and fruit and avocado. Healthy too!
There was also an after dinner show. We all went outside. Rowan dressed up with a jacket and sunglasses and danced on the trampoline while Addy played her guitar. She played the piece "Ode to Joy." Very nice. I tried to take some pictures but it was too dark outside. What an enjoyable evening!
