Without myself going to the grocery store (I still cannot walk very far without pain), I summoned up a helium red Valentine heart “I Love You ” balloon that is now floating in the den. It appeared by magic inside our back door (thanks to my helper Becca). Then we visited the orthopedic doctor. His report: The doctor still wants more time to give the spinal steroid injection to work, but he has given me a “nerve pain pill” and an oral steroid prednesone to take daily in decreasing doses (7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) until next Monday when I see him at 10:30 am. If I am not doing better at that time, he will give me a second spinal epidural on Tuesday. Now I feel we have a definite plan. The nerve pain pill causes some dizziness, so when I went to bed at 10 pm last night I crashed into a deep REM sleep. Now I have the entire week at home to rest and hopefully/prayerfully RECOVER. Please keep me in your prayers during this time. With 14 shows postponed so far, plus two conventions, I’d desperately like to get back to performing! I know I’ll be able to do this in God’s time. Love to you all, David Ginn =
