I finally gave up and went to the doctor today for my back. She gave me two shots - one was cortisone and one was for inflamation. Ouch! I'm supposed to be 50% better by tomorrow - yeah!! Actually I feel much better today, so I hope it continues to improve tomorrow. I also got some prescriptions for muscle relaxers for the ride home!! The bad news was that we wasted about 2 hours waiting to see the doctor. This hasn't exactly been the best trip for us, but wait...there's more!!

Tonight, we went over to Sudi and Howard's for dinner. Wonderful food and great company! However, this time Sudi trounced us in cards!! Dave had 3 drinks, so I got to drive home. He had parked us in a guest spot that is really tight...so I started backing out very carefully. Well, I hit the telephone or electrical pole with my beautiful car. I started crying and he yelled at me, so I cried even more. It doesn't appear too bad, but then it's dark so we can't see it real well. We'll see how it looks tomorrow. Just add one more bad thing to this trip. That is the first time I've ever hit anything to cause damage to one of my cars.
