More back info, tough time breathing

Good Evening Family, Friends & Guest,

This is what I know at this point.

I will have the T12 vertebrae fused on Tuesday next.  They might, just might determine while I am there to do 2 more, but it is really not likely.  I am not sure how much relief this will give me, but I am willing to try just so long and they do local anesthetic only.  The physicians assistant talked on putting me under and that is not going to happen.  I will stay just as I am Thank you.
That will leave me with 13 broken vertebrae that have already solidified.  Thanks Prednisone

Between now and Tuesday they also want to do another physical and history.  What,  I have had 2 physicals, 4 x rays and an MRI,  what more can they possibly need.  I am going to try to get out of the physical.

I am having a much harder time breathing after walking just a short distance.  10 to 15 ft, but I do recover my air quicker I think.  Yet when the nurse listens 2xs per week nothing is different.

Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for each day, but in 7 short months my entire life has changed, my marriage has completely flipped and I have to put myself in the care of my husband.  This is a difficult journey we are learning together, but at times it is very difficult.
I try so hard not to complain, but I tell you it is not easy.

That is all for this time.  I will keep you posted on my progress.  Fingers crossed for Tuesday.

Be Well and God be with you till we meet again.
