*Rick did have an MRI done on his total back. Thankfully they were able to schedule him at the Open Imaging in Greenville. He does NOT do the closed MRI's.
--anyway ... results are in -- he has 3 areas of concern in his back. upper around the neck area, middle, and lower back. In all 3 areas he has a couple of bulging discs. Not known as to why. However radiologist said that this is common as we get older. These bulging discs cause a narrowing of the vertebrae, which is pinching some nerves. Nothing to be done at this time except to monitor. Hopefully the swelling will calm down and the numbness and tingling will too. If not, there is an option to see a neurologist. Probably not surgery, but shots? or pain management?
**Also, we are still at Coffee Creek RV park. Still under the management of Rick, who is directly under the First National Bank out of Weatherford, TX. Seems sometimes that every day brings a new change ... but as of yet, still no changes that we cannot live with.
