I know I am not the only one but I am going to rant anyway. I wear a size “whatever they feel good in” bra. The past several years I have been wearing the Spanx reversible bras because at one point they held them up good and it didn’t hurt my back or my neck. It seems like after covid something changed. I bought some over a year ago and they just didn’t hold my…

Yesterday, when I took Dusty to his neurology appointment we were told time to replace the batteries in his VNS device. Yes, I know… it is just a simple little surgery to change the batteries. Let me explain why I just…

The Virus, Mold, And Germ Destroying Refrigerator Air Purifier https://bit.ly/2THPYFu Last week, my primary doctor put in a referral to see a new spine/neurosurgeon. That appointment was this morning about an hour and a half away. I think I had mentioned in a post after the last injection in my spine that I started to feel more pain. I thought that the spinal injection reduced the inflammation and that would explain…

It was to ease the swelling in my shoulders. They had to pull my arms and shoulders down and back so they could get to my neck the way they needed. My shoulders hurt like a mf’r when I started waking…
Originally posted 2022-04-28 11:16:59. I had the an appointment with the cranial surgeon yesterday. It was to discuss the changes that have occurred since starting physical therapy. Well more like what happened after seeing the therapist one time. I explained to the surgeon how when I am horizontal it doesn’t seem be nearly as bad. But when I am vertical, that’s when it seems to get worse. It pain and burning sensations seem to crawl…
These past few weeks have been crazy. Since getting out of the hospital I have been on a scheduled medication every four hours. I have been waiting for an appointment the see the surgeon (again). Not only the neurosurgeon but the surgeon that will be doing the ankle replacement. That appointment had to get postponed since the other issue showed up recently. I imagine that I will end up having to have another spinal fusion…
Originally posted 2022-04-21 13:39:22. This is an update to my Monday post painful evaluation. It’s Thursday afternoon at 1:11pm. I’m sitting in my recliner with an ice block unevenly situated on my cervical spine best way I know how. I have been feeling semi miserable since Monday and it just seems as if the guy irritated the shit out of something in there and it’s not getting any better. It sucks because I felt no…
Originally posted 2022-04-06 14:06:15. Ok so I know it has been a few weeks, ok more than a few, since I updated what’s going on. I figured posting posts that really don’t have anything new was pointless. Today I finally saw the cranial surgeon for the second time but with all records in attendance. The last time I saw him he didn’t have all the test, reports needed to fully analyze what is going on.…
Originally posted 2017-07-03 14:02:58. It’s summer time, I have a small garden with many potted container plants and they need tending to on a daily basis. So, along with that comes your body sometimes not wanting to roll out of bed. We are thinking of getting some sort of backyard pool to help me with physical fitness/exercise to put less stress on the body while doing so. The down side is well, Dusty. He can swim.…
