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.
