I tried some dry needling today. We don’t know how much and what exactly it will help, but it’s worth a try. He put needles in my leg and in the bottom of my foot. The one that went in my foot was definitely felt lol. The others weren’t really bothersome at all. I keep having issues with the front of my ankle. I have quite a bit of scar tissue in there, so I’m…

I woke up to my husband throwing up and wailing in pain. It was odd because it was the same exact pain and complaints from the last time he ended up in the emergency room. The last ER visit didn’t result in a diagnosis, which worried…

The PA even said they normally do not have to specify to put all films on a disc but I guess someone decided to do it their own way, who knows. I just have to get the other films on disc and give them to him next appointment. Get…

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…
