How well do you know what the ceilings of your house look like? I’ve been memorizing mine over the past 6 days. That is because on the return flight from Kiev my minor back problems turned into major ones and I’ve been flat on my back ever since. Total drag.

On Friday, I went to the doctor and he gave me a shot. The shot wasn’t bad. It was the 1 hour in the van to and from the office on incredibly bumpy European streets that really hurt. The shot seemed to help give me some relief over the weekend.

Then, this morning, while making coffee, I coughed. Just a small cough, but it was enough to make the knives return to my back. I tried to join Valerie in our language lesson from the couch, but I couldn’t concentrate. Valerie decided that I needed to see a doctor soon so she stopped lessons and started making some calls. I’m not sure how it happened, but within 15 minutes, there was a Hungarian Anesthesiologist in my bedroom giving me a big ‘ol shot. She made a call to the school nurse’s office and they knew this guy and gave him a call on his mobile phone. He happened to be at a gas station near my house so he said that he would stop by. WOW!!!

He came in with his nurse, medicine, and everything. God even provided in that our language teacher was still here to translate for us. I wasn’t very excited about the chance to go to the doctor because I didn’t think I could make it and God came through incredibly. I’m not sure this doctor really exists. God just sent him from heaven. I think if I tried to find him again, I’m not sure I could

That’s one plus for Hungarian Health care – they still make House Calls. The price was right too at $50.

Tomorrow, I’m going to see a World-Renowned Hungarian back specialist that has pioneered a back surgery method that is now used in the US. In fact, Americans have come here to have surgery. That is unheard of. I pray that I’ll be able to get there and that we can get to the bottom of the problem. I’ve had back problems off and on for 13 years and it is time to figure this thing out.
