Discogram

Dave had his discogram this afternoon. Steroids didn't help his back so the surgeon suggested another disc replacement. The problem came when the x-ray and the ct scan didn't agree as to which one needed replacing. So he wanted a discogram done. My understanding of that is something is injected into the discs and then they determine which one it is by the pain level. After some discussion about costs the discogram was scheduled. So Dave needs the 4/5 done this time. He'll meet with the surgeon again next week and then the surgery will be scheduled. I'm sure he will feel a lot better when it is fixed. At least the end is finally in sight.

Dave says his throat muscles are sore now. Not surprising.
