Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Hi All...the depression & anxiety has lifted a tad, but I am grateful for that. I went out with Em to do a little grocery shoppng. My right leg and lower back are not doing well, and awakened me several times last night from pain. The neurosurgeon gave me little hope of improving that...I'm not sure if I should seek out a second opinion or chalk it up to my weight. The herniations are at L4, L5. But the last week or so I've had strange " electrical " pains from my upper back through my neck. The neurosurgeon said he would order a CT myelogram but at my weight he wasn't sure how good it'd be. I've been dragging my right leg now for 9 months. Do you all have any thoughts? I did use the " mart-cart " as they call it at Em's store. The walking would do me good, but with the pain escalated today I decided to use the cart. When we got home I made a big batch of homemade chili...put some in the freezer for 'whenever', and the rest I'll heat up tomorrow for our supper. I think some things really do improve the next day. I used fresh local tomatoes in the chili so it'll be extra good. I'm still writing down my food and quitting, most nights, by 8. This week I'm going to go get weighed, then only monthly thereafter. Scales can really cause me problems so I just want a monthly check-in. I am so grateful for you all. You are all, and your loved ones, in my heart & in my prayers. Hugs.....
