8/24: I went to see my neck doc and surprise surprise! More meds and nothing more she can do about the pain but for me to see a surgeon to possibly had one of my cervical discs removed. Then I went to see my crotch doc and I signed myself up for two more appointments tomorrow; I have to go get blood work done and get an ultrasound. Basically the prep for that one is to drink lots and lots of water and hold it for an hour and a half so they can get an ultrasound with a full bladder and then an empty one. The other recommendation was also to follow up with a urologist since that might be the root of my abdominal pain since everything else seems to be getting ruled out. Her hunch is that it may be interstitial cystitis, which my co-worker has and was telling em all about....there's no cure, just management....Great, another pain to manage. Guess who's gonna be Googling interstitial Cystitis tonight?!!

Besides that I've got 4 out of the 8 insulative black out blinds done! :) Still have a long list of things to get done and I fly out Wednesday early early early. Moo Moo has to be at the airport by 4:30am when they open.
