Today I made the appointment I had to cancel due to bad weather. When Dr. Dan Munton found out I was an aerospace teacher at A&M he had to return a call to a local doctor that graduated from A&M in engineering, worked for NASA and then went in to orthopedic medicine. Turns out he was there after I left and I didn't know him. Dr. Munton showed me the MRI and explained how I have spinal stenosis with some nerve pinching and explained what they can do if it gets bad. Right now due to the exercises I have been doing I don't hurt and he said that by keeping up the exercises I will remain pain free. He sent me over to the West Texas Rehabilitation Center where a great physical therapist looked at the exercises and gave me new better ones.
We then went out to celebrate Valentine's Day at Lytle Land and Cattle Company steakhouse. We both had the sirloin special and enjoyed it. After a stop at Walmart to buy gas and hearing aid batteries, we got home about 4:30. With no nap I plan to go to bed early tonight, and try out my new set of exercises.
Nancy liked the doctor so well that she made an appointment for herself to get advice on her back and spinal stenosis she has been diagnosed with. We have to go back to Granbury to pick up all of her MRI records for him.
He also teaches SS class at a Baptist Church in Abilene. He asked how I knew and I told him I had read his bio before making the appointment.
