Happy Day

I’M HOME!!!!🙂  It’s so good to be back!  It’s only been a week since I was last home, but it feels like I’ve been gone forever!  Coming home from the hospital, I’m now in more pain than when I first arrived there.  Very amused.  Haha!😉  My right arm is purple and green all over from getting so many IVs and blood draws.  My latest IV infiltrated, so now I kinda have a lumpy and hard patch on my forearm.  Very weird to the touch..  I’m still dealing with that new headache on top of the old one, but I received one last IV drip of magnesium before I left, and I hope it lasts!  My left leg is super weak, and it’s so different being back on crutches, especially in the house.

This is Brian and me.🙂  Will always treasure this picture!

Since my symptoms are still unresolved, here’s the plan: I see my pain dr. this coming Monday (10/1).  We’ll discuss the possible removal of my spinal cord stimulator to get that MRI.  Can’t wait to know what his thoughts are on that..  I start up physical therapy again (I’ve been off of it for more than a month!) on the 3rd.  And, on the 5th, I have a follow-up with my neurologist.  So next week will be quite busy!

And in the meantime, I’m gonna get some sleep.  In my own bed.😀  Without any phlebotomists waking me up at 6:30 in the morning.  Without nurses coming in my room at 7:30.  Without seeing doctors soon after that………😉

Good night!

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. ❤️
