In other news, consult with Surgery (for the J-tube placement) isn’t until Aug. 6th.  And that’s just the consultation..  It’s the soonest they can get me in.🙁  I am on the list if any other patients cancel….hopefully these next 4 weeks will go by fast.

A lot of scar tissue is building up under the muscle biopsy incision (that’s the nature of EDS), so my physical therapist has been working on trying to break it all up.  It’s so painful.  I have a feeling CRPS is flaring up in that area, but we’ll see what my pain doc says next week.

Tomorrow, I see my neurologist to update her on all that’s happened.  And the next few weeks, I have a lot of follow-ups with Physical Medicine, Neuro-ophthalmology, and Spine!  That’s on top of all the therapy appointments.  It’s been a busy summer already!

Hi, friends, I had a whole other post ready to go with some good news, but instead, I have an urgent prayer request. I started experiencing sudden onset numbness, tingling, and weakness in my whole left leg, and it’s been so scary. 🥺 It just came on out of the blue. I was doing so well with physical therapy each week (able to walk fast on the treadmill and leg press 40 lbs), and now, I have to limp because my left leg is soo weak. I really want to avoid the ED as much as possible, so I saw one of my doctors today. She’s concerned I’m having a big motor nerve issue. 😭 The plan is to see a physical medicine specialist, have a nerve conduction study, get an urgent MRI done, as well as see my PCP and pain doctor on the 25th and 29th for further evaluation/testing. I know I already said this, but it really has been so scary to lose function so quickly. Can you pray that I will trust the Lord and not worry? It’s been very hard, so I’d really appreciate your prayers and support in the coming weeks. Thank you so much. ❤️
