The bad news is I waited two hours for the back specialist to look at my lower back at Georgetown University Hospital to give me all of 5 minutes of his time. Good news is researchers say that it's safe to heat plastic containers in a microwave.

Yes, I devoured Good Housekeeping magazine because that was the only thing available. There was a nun sitting patiently when I arrived, but she viciously snagged the only other magazine, Sports Illustrated. I'll be honest, there was nothing vicious about her actions, but that certainly would have been a great photograph of her and I reading Good Housekeeping and Sport Illustrated.

Kate and I don't watch television, so I now have to rely on random delays in the doctor's office, or waiting in line at Target to read up on anything new. Did you know that Jon and Kate plus 8 is the highest rated show on TLC? Over 24.6 million viewers/week! And oh my gosh Jen is so jealous of Angelina and her children. Bradgelina's house looks like a nursery at the UN.

Despite the wait, feel great about this doctor who is apparently one of the best back surgeons in the States. I need to get an updated MRI and run through some physical therapy before any real decisions are made with surgery.

Just another day at the doctor's office.
