We finally got the phone call we have been waiting for. The MRI was authorized and is scheduled for Friday, August 3, at 1pm. We are hopeful this will take us on the road to getting Craig the treatment he needs for a full recovery. He has had increased pain the last couple of days as well. I placed a call into the doctor to see if he couldn't be put back on a medication he was prescribed while in the ER in Odessda. He was able to tolerate a 26 hour car ride while on it, and now that he is no longer on it, he is unable to even sit in his wheelchair. He has become a permanent fixture in the recliner which seems to be his best location to get some comfort and lessen the pain which shoots down his legs.
We have adapted well in Selma with his parents, whom we will be forever grateful to for allowing us to invade their home, bringing with us as much from the truck as we could. We even have our satellite dish hooked up and have managed to have the before mentioned recliner moved to the room we are staying in. So we will count down the hours until the MRI as I continue to keep Craig on his pain medication and as comfortable as I possibly can. I'll update again as soon as we have any news to share.

Thank heaven for in-laws and recliners. And then there are pain pills.....
Craigers..... you are in the best of hands, and Im not referring to the medical field. We have not only been kept up to date on your current condition, the medications you are enjoying or the 4 wheeler you are now riding in...But more importantly its the person who is keeping all of us informed about the man who drives the big blue 18 wheeler.
Thanks Diane.
