's Update

[Guest guest]

Its me again. I almost didnt write because it always seems I am

either apologizing for not posting or have something to complain

about. Well I went to the nurosergeon Fri. and he said the MRI showed

I had two ruptured disk in my neck pushing against the nerves. That

is why the hands are going numb and the stabbing pain in my arm,

shoulder and neck. Now I am having bad migrane headaches going up the

back of my neck. Well he didnt know anything about this disease but

after he saw all the meds I was on , the cytoxan, just finished a

predisone pak, two blood pressure pills and two (a new one Monday)

diabetes pills and all the others he was scared to even talk to me

HAHA the blood pressure was 176 over 106 and my pulse was 132. What

do you expect I told him with all the pain and stress. But finally

got the blood sugar out of the 200 range for awhile. yea

The only way to really fix me is surgery and they would have to go

through the throat. YEA RIGHT! He said he could give my a facet

block which is shooting something in the disk but since I have been

on so much predisone and have a bad reaction to it he didnt want to

do that. So we decided to do traction at home. Yep I am going to hang

from the door HAHA I just hope once someone hooks me up they dont go

off and leave me hanging.HAHHA Hopefully it will relieve some

pressure off the nerve but I know I am just putting off the inevitable

and sooner or later surgery will be the only answer. He is talking

fusion and that might make my neck stiff. As nosey as I am I wont be

able to turn to look at everything quickly cant have that.

Well my dad is doing okay and I havent killed him yet. I say that

because he has to take a certain pill 3 times a day and his blood

pressure has to be above a certain number. Well we have an old blood

pressure machine that you have to pump this ball looking thing and we

spend all day just trying to do that. I cant squeeze it with my hands

so I have him pumping. He gets all out of breath and quits after

awhile and then we have to start all over. By the time we finally get

it right we are laughing so hard that we both have to rest. I am

waiting on an automatic one that my sister in law orderd from the

hospital she works at.

Do any of you know of any pain meds that will take pain away but

leave you with your right mind and not in a fog. I have 400 mg of

neurontin for sale if anyone wants to go in lala land,. HAHAA

Well this has taken for ever to finger type but I want everyone to

know that I am thinking of them and praying for each of you.

I cant imagine what you are fixing to go through so I dont

have anything to complain about. I'll be praying extra hard for you.

in La. dont forget we are neighbors. love and hugs,
