Well as long as I gave myself extra time to get there. Ok… so we left at 9:30am. My appointment wasn’t until 11:00am but I woke up in alot more pain than I have been in so far. On top of that this throbbing pain that…

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…
Yesterday’s physical therapy was a little tougher than other sessions. More specific… they had me picking up little pegs with my feet/ toes and putting them in a pan. That was alot f’n harder than I thought it would be. I had done marbles with my feet but this… this was on a whole other level. I asked the therapist about the numbness that’s still there. He mentioned that when some of it comes back…
Originally posted 2019-10-25 11:00:14. I had to go see a new neurosurgeon. They needed new MRI, CAT, Xrays, and all the work. Done most of that. I started physical therapy yesterday. Funny thing is she is the same physical therapist my husband had for his knee. So working with her was easy. Now that I have had the new films I am eager to see the surgeon to know whether or not they will be…

I mean if I get positive results I will try it elsewhere as long as the doctor feels it is worth it. We did briefly speak after the procedure on my MRI results of my spine and if I would be eligible…

James had been working in a temporary position at the post office. He’d also been steadily submitting applications for whatever position he thought he may have been qualified for. Several months ago he was offered a term position (it’s kind of like a temporary position but for some there is…
I don’t think in my upwards of 40 surgeries I’ve seen my scars or sutures peel like this. I have put some of my Miracle Oil on it twice a day in hopes it lessens their appearance. The pain is definitely improving from the beginning. I have to wear a boot when I am up and around (which to be honest ain’t much). My boots have airbags 🤣. The turn dial (A) switches the control…
This week has been weird when it comes to bathroom visits. After my doctor’s appointment on Tuesday we went around the corner to a small restaurant to get something to eat before our ride home. I had to use the bathroom so I try my best using my walker to get to the bathroom. I do my thing and then attempt to wash my hands. After I wash my hands somehow the sink comes off…
