Freddogg Off The Chain

A relaxing walk across a fallow field with old girl Jesse and forever stupidly young Darby Doodle.
These dogs live together and are best friends but when out for a walk all civility is cast aside as the play hard and I know they don’t mean it but when captured on film they sure as hell look like they mean it. Teeth barred with deviled ears and you’re only playing?
I am the fresh out of the MRI guy,that Utube is a dangerous claustrophobic cave for someone with such a magnetic personality. My shoulders extend beyond the chalk outline as I slide in head first my nose almost touching the ceiling I feel like a 1959 polio dyslexic in an iron lung. The old technician selects my music based on appearance but dam ‘Greatest Hits of the Fifth Dimension”.
I was in there for lower back degeneration and related left leg pain. Here is a paragraph I copied from the internet.


“Degeneration of the lumbar spine is described as lumbar spondylosis or degenerative disc disease and may lead to spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), vertebral instability and/or malalignment, which may be associated with back pain and/or leg symptoms. This review considers the available evidence on the procedures of spinal decompression (widening the spinal canal or laminectomy), nerve root decompression (of one or more individual nerves) and fusion of adjacent vertebrae. “

What does any of this have to do with limping through a field under an IPOD while my dogs attack each other? I talked to a new friend of mine at the gym this morning who has two artificial legs and as we exchanged small talk he said,”Any day I get up and walk around is a good day.” Why the hell would he say that of all things?

I have a consultation next week with a sadistic specialist from the Middle East who may want to scope my spine or rock me like my backbone was his own but the good news is I know where I stand before I go in which is to never let a person from the land of camels mess with a spine. Will that be one hump or two?
