Back Problems

 Not much work is getting done around here lately.  I did something to my back some weeks ago and it's just getting worse.  

I finally decided it's time to do something about it so I went to a Chiropractor.  Her treatments helped a little but I had a long way to go so I got my primary care doc involved.  He ordered xrays and  prescribed a muscle relaxing drug.  No help.  The xrays showed degenerative disc disease and arthritis. 

From there we went to frequent icing, prednisone and rest.  That helped a lot but I can't be on prednisone the rest of my life so this Friday I'm getting an MRI to see more clearly what else might be  going on. 

In the meantime at least I'm able to function.  Back to mowing.  Stay tuned.

Progress Report

 A short time ago I reported on the problem I was having with our cable company.  Among other things I mentioned that I would be actively seeking alternatives to cable TV, i.e. a streaming service of some kind.

Thus far I've determined that the best service for us is YouTubeTV.  The problem is I need the app on all three of our TVs (I know, I know. It's ridiculous that two people have to have 3 TVs but what are you going to do?).  We only have one TV that has it and I have yet to figure out how to load it on the other two.  

I think what I'm going to have to do is buy something like an Amazon Fire Stick to do it even though the two TVs in question are so-called 'smart' TVs.  

I haven't bought it yet because there are several kinds and I have to figure out which one we need.  

I hope to get this done within the next few days so stay tuned.
