My medical update and long absence from here

[momomom]

So the MRI and CT scan showed 3 areas that trap nerves, making my butt hurt in a non consensual way along with making my thighs hurt and weakening my legs unevenly

Oh, I am really sorry you are having so much pain. Please do not apologise, you have a very valid reason, unfortunately. That's very nice your daughter could come home to nurse you. I hope you get to see baby David soon, too :) And good luck with your operation!

[momomom]

THank you. Baby David is coming by tomorrow!

The timing with my daughter is wonderful. She just completed a course to become a certified nursing assistant but has not yet found a job.

It's lovely to read you again. But please, don't bother replying to more LJ stuff than you feel like doing. We won't mind at all. What bothers me is that you're in pain, more pain than I knew about, and I'm sending vibes for soothing and healing. Also for Xie to get into the University of MD: that sounds like something that would suit everybody.

[momomom]

Thank you for the good vibes. I was very touched by the comments here.

I'm so sorry to hear that you are in so much pain and you sound like a champ. I wish and pray for the utmost and best outcome on your surgery. I am hoping, hoping hoping my pain does not take me where you are, but if it does, I know I have a well-experienced ally to help. Take care and thank you for making such an enormous effort to update us.

Oh I hope not too Deb, are you having the brain pain issues again?

[lometa]

No brain pain at the moment, thank goodness. Right now I have some back pain in the thoracic area when I sleep. I had to take narcotics for one day this week and was scared for that. Prior to this it was only cervical. My feet and legs go numb occasionally.

[momomom]

AH, I asked about this just now on another post. So do you have stenosis in those areas?

[lblanchard]

Wow! Thanks for the update -- I can only imagine the heroics it took for you to keyboard such a long entry under those conditions. Good thoughts headed your way, and perhaps you can have Xie post the occasional update on your behalf.

[momomom]

Suddenly I have running on at the keyboard disease today! I will ask Xie to do that though. Thanks for the idea.
