I had a great neurology appointment today!  Things are really moving along now. :o)  This is what’s on my plate the next few weeks.  She wants me to get another MRI, but this time it will be of my lumbosacral plexus nerves (isn’t that fun to say?). πŸ˜‰  She also ordered another diagnostic test called […]

Had a great day yesterday!! πŸ™‚  So many of you have been so supportive and encouraging to me!  Thank you for lifting me up in prayer. <3  That means so much to me. My pain dr. showed no sign of discouragement yesterday!  He was very cheery and compassionate. πŸ™‚  We discussed my MRIs and one […]

Everything is still raw, and I wept great big tears this morning, but I know all of you want to know the results of my MRIs, so here they are.  I don’t have the report yet, but in one word, they are “normal.”  I don’t understand. :'(  I’ve asked God all morning, “Why??”  I know […]

My MRIs are tomorrow!!  I’d appreciate your prayers that the myoclonus (muscle jerking) won’t be that severe as I have to lie still for 4 hours.  My neurologist did prescribe me a sedative, but I’m not sure how well it will work..  We’re all pretty nervous about the results, including my pain dr. and physical […]

My MRIs got scheduled today!!  Praise God. πŸ™‚  I will be getting them on Dec. 14th.  Wasn’t expecting that it’s gonna take 4 hours long from 9-1 PM!!  Not exactly looking forward to 4 hours in the tube…lol.  There won’t even be a break!  That will be quite an experience…  Once I know the results, […]

Surgery is all over!  Thank you, God, for being with me through it all. πŸ™‚  Although my pain dr. said the post-op pain is nothing like an implant surgery, I’m experiencing the opposite (probably because of my EDS condition and everything else). lol  This pain is so bad, much worse than last year’s.  I bled […]

Well, it’s official.  My spinal cord stimulator explant surgery is scheduled for Dec. 4th!!  Have to get there at 7 in the morning, and surgery’s at 9 AM.  Today I had a pre-op phone appointment, and tomorrow I have PT.  I hope my physical therapist is prepared for all this sad news I have to […]

Yayyyyy!!!  Last night, I emailed my pain dr. and asked him if I could at least know what’s gonna happen before Thanksgiving. πŸ˜‰  I just received a reply from him!  He’s the best. πŸ™‚  He told me he did speak with my neurologist today, and after discussing options together, they both agree that taking the […]

Waiting….Waiting….Waiting.  That’s what I’ve been doing. πŸ˜‰  Which is why you haven’t read an update in a while.  My neurologist and pain dr. are having a bit of a difficulty connecting.  When my neurologist is free, my pain dr. is not, and vice versa.  But I’m praying today’s the day I hear something..  I have […]
