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…

Growing body of studies indicate ketamine treatment for mental health could become more widely accessible in the coming years. Ketamine, a substance traditionally used as an anesthetic, has been found to be beneficial for treating mental health issues including depression and anxiety. A new study published…
As we were hanging there in the waiting area I lost my balance…and… BAM. I caught myself with the “bad foot” Split second reaction. Then I reached for my husband and latched onto him THAT SHIT HURT!!!! I wanted to scream like a mf’r in a room full of people. I burst into tears. Thankfully my surgeon didn’t think I damaged anything. In two weeks I get this cast off, xray, then they are supposed…
Day three feels like nine hundred and twenty-one. I’m in so much pain I am not even hungry. Problem is I need to eat being on all these medications. The nerve block more than likely wore off today since it is only supposed to last 3 or so days. I stayed in the hospital overnight because I was in so much pain. I remember looking at the monitor and it was like 168 over something.…
