Sorry you are still hurting Robin. Will keep you in my prayers. I would go ahead and let them do all the parts of the body the doctor asked for. Doctors like to “rule out” different possible illnesses or issues with these scans. It will ultimately allow them to diagnose you more accurately. AND if you have issues with those parts of the body in the future, you have a great baseline for other physicians to review! It really is a positive thing.
Thanks guys. Husband just called, he has to have surgery on Monday. 80% blockage in neck and week after surgery on other side of neck 70% blockage.
This family is falling apart.

Hang in there and be strong as you can for him and youself Robin. Hold it together, it is worth it and you know that. God bless and protect you both. Gary
Dang Robin, when it rains it pours. Sending some kneemail for y'all! 
Ditto for all the above. Agree with GP. Everything is process of elimination via tests (unfortunately), sorry to hear about hubby too.
I wasn't very smart yesterday. When I woke up the pain was a little less so I went down and sat on the ground, dug holes with a trowel and planted potatoes. They are no where deep enough so I'm gonna add straw. I know you can grow potatoes in straw bales.
they pain made a fast comeback. No smart.

Our average last frost is April 15th. We are expecting temps in the 30s and frost this week. So many have already planted their annuals.
Maybe I'm not that far behind after all. I think I'm just panicking by not knowing how I will feel in the next month.

Our Gladiola's, Iris, petunias blooming here, and are beautiful! my phone camera sucks, but I'll try n get pic tomorrow..
Well, I'm up and the pain isn't super bad. Maybe 6 to 7 is I just hope it doesn't jump like yesterday. By the end of the day, I was back to an 8.5.
Maybe the barometer?

We built a stone container about 2’ tall for one of my Elderberry bushes on the hillside going down to the pond. It turned out so lovely! Hubby got the same building stones as the wall we had put in around the inlet. Looks really nice! We have 3 others to make for the other Elderberry bushes. Didn’t want to work hubby too hard. He is definitely getting his strength back and feeling much better!
Pic?
I will take one and share. Hopefully going to be building another 2 tomorrow or the next day. The weather has cleared up, thankfully!
Today is great. My pain level is down to a 5. I was able to walk to the gardens. I have been so negligent the weeds around the fences are huge so I did something I haven't done for 30 years....... I sprayed weed killer. I feel so guilty.

For the last three nights, when I go to the chickens, I have been hanging from a branch on a plum tree. Tonight, the branch broke and I landed on my knees and jammed my body probably doing away with any progress I have made. The branch hit me in the head, but didn't cause damage. It was about 6 ft long and 4 inches in diameter. It was also dead. Lol

Yeah, mine just has a pvc frame. Has to be staked to the ground. Putting it out in the open cause would hate to have a limb, again non human, fall on it. It's sturdy pvc but still.
You cracked me up!
You have a regular greenhouse. High Tunnels are normally larger and they are heavy plastic with wood or metal frames.
Here’s a random YT showing a High Tunnel. This is similar to what I purchased, but mine isn’t as large.

Sorry to hear, I know where you're coming from. Busted my back in 2009 and have had 5 surgeries on my foot since 2019. Seems like the pain never goes away. Oldest Granddaughter, who has gotten into homesteading, says she is looking into natural pain relief. Would be nice, found out last week my insurance is being cancelled at the end of September. Not one thing it's another!
Update. I am super sore because of the fall. It is my original back problems. I think the shock from hitting the ground, jarred the spot where the nerves are pinched, squeezed, whatever. That pain is less today. Thank goodness. Maybe I can plant some squash today. I can handle the soreness not the nerve pain.
