New Update:  Bill came home this afternoon with very little pain because he had a procedure done.  Yay!!!   The procedure consisted of rolling him in his bed to get a cat scan, rolled him up to the machine and rolled him onto his stomach, very painful, and then did a CS and brought him back out.  Gave him a series of shots to deaden the area in the small of his back so they could insert larger needles.  Then back into the machine so they can see exactly where to put the needles, 4 on the right and 2 on the left of his spine.  Once they were inserted, they administered steroids and long term pain killers in hopes that by the time the pain killers wear off (approximately 2 weeks) the steroids will have shrunk the enlarged area.  We certainly hope this works.  We don't know what will happen if it doesn't work.  Guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it.  Bottom line, we are both sitting here feeling great.
