Here I sit/lie down, as I wait for Monday to meet my surgeon. Hubby has been so nice and is trying to take care of me, the best he can. But it is so hard, as fours dogs plus one sick wife, are pretty demanding,
I’m glad to know why I hurt so badly, and I never knew that a blown disc could cause this kind of pain.
Thank goodness my doctor is not only a great diagnostician, but has those skeleton spine things, so he could explain my rather bizarre symptoms.
I can honestly say that I like my PA better than my GP. I think in the future, I will simply request to see him instead.
Meanwhile I am moving around the house, slowly, but I’m trying to keep my leg mussels in reasonably good shape.
However, I can hardly wait for the surgery, as this pain really pulls you down.
Glad to finally hear from you. I was worried. So surgery, huh? Hope it’s a small one with quick recovery.
Get well soon, Maribeth.
Sending hugs.
Sorry to hear this Maribeth. I can sympathize with you. I have a herniated disc at C6 with stenosis in my most of my spine. I am seeing a surgeon on the 14th. You need to be careful not to cause any more damage, especially with 4 dogs under your feet! Let me know when your surgery will be and take care of yourself!
