08:38 pm - The State of My Backbone
I've been having chronic back trouble for the past year or so. I'll spare you all the gory details, but basically I've been through a string of treatments and therapies, and ultimately was completely misdiagnosed by the first orthopedist I consulted with. A few weeks ago, I changed doctors, and miracle of miracles, he actually took some time to go over the MRI that the first doctor sort of waved under my nose. He showed me exactly why the initial diagnosis was wrong, and what was really going on. The upshot was that on Monday, I had an epidural to try to calm down the nerve irritation that we think is the problem. It wasn't the most pleasant experience, but I'm fairly optimistic this will make a huge difference. I can get up after sitting for more than ten minutes, and straighten all the way up. I had to stay flat on my back all day Monday after the procedure, and I took yesterday off to be safe. I took the opportunity to write lyrics for a couple of the songs we're planning for the next album. For those keeping score at home, the titles are "A Perfect Moment" and "Divide by Zero".

11:21 pm - A fine end to a not so fine week
I spent most of today working on a new song in the studio. I'd really like to have our new CD out by the beginning of next year, and quite honestly it has been a bit disjointed lately. I've got several songs pretty well along, and others that are either song fragments, or complete arrangements that need lyrics. The past week or so has been a series of disasters, so it was nice to be productive. If you dare, a lengthy description of ( the good, the bad and the ugly. )

11:15 pm - My very first LJ post
![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
cadhla and I agreed that it would be a Good Thing ™ if I set up an LJ account to facilitate scheduling and communication for Red Roses & Dead Things, so I've been dragged kicking and screaming (well OK, maybe only whimpering slightly) into the blogosphere. I don't know whether I'll post very often here, and if I do whether it will be all that interesting, but here I am.
The kick-off meeting with Seanan went really well. Many logistical dragons were slain, and we have a Plan.
