The nurse called with my MRI results today. I do no have anything that requires surgery which is good news. She said I had new arthritic "something" - I didn't understand it.
She said the doctor wanted me to come back in so he can explain and also give me prednisone shots. I told her I cannot have prednisone until radiation is over. Luckily it is my last week of radiation. So I asked for an appt next week. She said the doctor is on vacation next week. I made an appt for May 31st. She said I would need to continue physical therapy. I do not have any physical restrictions anymore but need to increase my exercise slowly and stop doing stuff if it hurts.
I'm not looking for a miracle cure but I am getting very angry that I now have physical issues I didn't have before because someone decided to do a U-Turn on the freeway.
I'm tired, I just need to go to bed, read for a bit and sleep. I need to be at work around 6:45 am tomorrow. It's going to be a long day. Good night all.
Im glad that there isn't anything that requires surgery! You'll have to get the full explainaton from the Dr on what they found. Doesnt sound quite right to me..
ReplyDeleteI have to believe that with time and gentle treatment, your back will be better. The great news is that you don't need surgery. Now that you know that, get through the radiation. Treat your back well in the meantime, then, once the radiation is over, you can turn your attention to it and focus on that recovery. I know Tom will fix something special for your celebratory dinner!!! Woo Hoo!!!!
