A POST ABOUT NOTHING
CHAPTER NINE - ABOUT NOTHING

Remember when George Constanza had the idea to convince the network to produce a show about nothing starring Jerry Seinfeld?

I've been thinking, "what can I make a post about today. There really isn't anything that I've been doing, reading, seeing or even eating that I can write about so here goes "nothing."

Last week I took a six-pack of Prednisone hoping that it would relieve the pain I was experiencing. 

"NOTHING."

When I completed the 6 pack I informed the doctor that I had "No Relief."

The physician's assistant that I spoke with suggested that I take an over-the-counter medication, or he could give me a prescription to ease the pain.

I decided I would try the over the counter medication first.

The next day I had an appointment for physical therapy.

The young lady was very knowledgeable and was "easy" on me.  She did say that since this was my first time I could expect some discomfort the next day.

Well the next day, it was not "NOTHING," It was "SOMETHING."

Again, I called the physician's assistant.

I told him what was going on, and at that point in time I said "ok, I'll try the pain medication."

Well, I got the medication delivered to me, no problem this time. 

Unfortunately or fortunately the pharmacy knows me now!

I'll spare you the details, but the bad reaction I had, from the pill that was supposed to help, was "NOT NOTHING."

After a few days, the effects of the medicine got out of my system and the pain eased up on it's own.

I'll be seeing the doctor as soon as he returns from his vacation, which could be in a few weeks. 

So, that's my story about "NOTHING." 

I think it really turned out to be "SOMETHING."

I must tell you, I really got a kick out of writing about "NOTHING."
