epidural #3 is done, the final one. overall i'm 85% better. i can walk alex much more easily, so he's getting long walks again. i can scrub the bath tub again w/o gasping in pain. i've got a kid who'll do my heavier yard work this year (god bless teenage kids who need money, and i do pay pretty well for it) . i am still buzzed now, but i'm planning on slowly tapering myself off the evening tylenol 3 over the next week. i never took them b/4 work, they made me feel fuzzy and i can't work that way.
the nurse said the meds should work well for a year to 2. , i've been telling myself that they will work for 5 years, i like these people, but i don't want to see them too soon.
