I've been having back problems for the last couple months. Finally had got the pain to stop (degenerative disc in lower back, with the new meds. But 2 weeks ago, I started having really bad muscle spasms over hip and going half way up my back. May or may not be indirectly related to the disc. Won't know for sure  until mri, but the way this screwy obama insurance is, have to go through all the steps before that. Which makes no sense ( oh yeah, forgot talking about obama again) how can you do all these treatments, prescriptions, without knowing for sure what's wrong, hence needing an mri.Anyway, my doctor today at least put me back on prednisone, which works more for the pain than the vicodin, but only temporary, on it for 6 days, then the pain will be back. Oh, well, I'm grateful for the reprieve of pain, shortlived though it is.
I know I said with the packing,etc. that I wouldn't be buying prep stuff, but, tomorrow is the twice a year indoor, huge rummage sale, sooo, just saying I may slip and get a couple things! Am going to keep my eye open for some of the things that are more expensive to buy brand new: food dehydrator,canning supplies,grinder(for wheat,other grains), food saver stuff,cast iron cookware. I'll keep you posted on what I find. Mrs. Prepper
