Sciatic nerve problem and trip to Brainerd Minnesota

Sciatic nerve problem,  and trip to Brainerd Minnesota

For the rest of summer Mr Nut has to go to the Brainerd library to get onto the internet, so these blogs will be infrequent.

Hello loyal follower(s)

       Mr Nut’s problem with sciatic nerve was more complicated than he thought.  It was an old age thing called Degenerated Disk Disease.   As you may recall from the last blog Mr Nut had his brain disconnected when he drove for four days with his wallet in his back pocket.  After a visit with our primary physician, it was determined that maybe a “med-pack” of prednisone ( a steroid ) would help.   By day three Mr Nut was a happy camper, but  within a week the pain had returned with a vengeance.  Mr Nut’s primary physician was not available. Therefore, it was off to “instant care”  The doctor knew what he was saying but Mr Nut did not want to accept the facts. He was sure it was just the  the wallet in the back pocket problem.  was ignored by the doctor (correctly so). Both doctors wanted to run a MRI, but we had places to go and things to do, so we passed on the MRIs and prepared  to travel again.  BIG MISTAKE. With many prednisone pills and pain pill and  ten days at home in St George, we “hit the road” again, for  hellish month "enjoyment." 
  Heading for our Minnesota cabin near Brainerd, Minnesota, with a stop in Dillon, Colorado to enjoy the nice cool weather  (70’s ℉) with our friends of 50 plus years.  They came from Kansas City to escape the 100℉ heat that was gripping the midsection of the country.

Two  great views from the place we stayed.  Think cool.

Cyndy just had to try all the beers made at the micro brewery called Pug Murphy’s, a great place for reasonably priced meals.

Breakfast at the resort with our friends Sharon and Lyle Bighley.

Cyndy’s first cousin Cathy Geroy and her  husband Gary were already at our cabin in their camper when we arrived.

That's about it for now,  we hope to just relax for a few days, then it bread making again..
