Well, what made the 3 months easier to live through....

Was the living through the 1982 to 2017 stretch where NOBODY would help me with ANYTHING.. I tried to get surgery for at least 25 years, but nobody would help me.. Their issue was that I had the problem so long, there was a reduced chance surgery would make me feel any better and nobody wanted to take on a case that probably ended up being considered unsuccessful.. Tends to make their percentage of successful cases go down..

Finally found a guy who would do it - same guy who did Roger Staubach's neck or spine surgery - can't remember.. The same day I got turned down by the guy who did Tony Romo's surgery.. I didn't tell either that I can't stand the Cowboys..

After the surgery (which was somewhat helpful) I decided to get migraine injections.. it was the combo of surgery and migraine injections that really allowed me to start living again.. That only took from 1982 til about 2023.. So the 3 months (actually 6 from my last series of shots in October 2025, til March 30, 2026) which DID suck, was a drop in the overall bucket of misery.. lol
