On the personal good news front, I have had six pain free leg days with a flare only on Wednesday.  This, it seems to me, is evidence that I'm on the right track with these epidurals.  It's amazing how much longer days seem for getting things done!

I do have to have a tooth extraction on Friday.  A tooth recently filled is now split to the roots and can't be fixed.  It's been bothering me since the filling and I thought maybe the filling was just loose. The dentist says that our teeth just get softer as we age and we need to be careful about what we bite. 

I get another epidural on Wednesday--my hope being that the effects last a long time and I'll be able to travel by car to Georgia before or after my April trip to Virginia.
