well, first of all, ya know i have to start with my cheers and jeers for Veterans Day. Cheers of course to the Vets-- and jeers to the way things have changed -- or not changed for them.y'all know me and hubby are vets-- so was my mom, dad and sis-- i really could ramble on about how i feel about some things today-- about this day -- but i won't put y'all through that.
let's just say if you or a family member or friend is a veteran .. "Thank you" .
ok.. i better stop now, before i get on my soapbox.
now-- back to the doctor thing--
is there a doctor in the house? i have spent almost the entire day online lookin at med related sites. and google :)) i know.. me and google should get a divorce. i'm just so damn tired of havin all this crap be wrong with me and not know what it is- or why -- or how to fix it. and i pay all these friggin people and they don't help at all. ugh.
the only one who does seem to have half a brain is my neuro doc -- who by the way, my appointment was with him tomorrow-- for the results of the x-rays and pain etc --yes i know i said today -- but i'm senile, and was wrong.. it's tomorrow. but they called today to tell me they canceled the appointment in order to schedule me for a cat scan of my c-spine instead.
ugh... not to mention my head spinning in three hundred MORE different directions. cuz you know the lady on the phone didn't know anything to tell me. like why does he want to see my spine.. neck..head..skull.. etc.... OR-- why does my arm have a hole in it... or even is my arm broken... nothin. only that she'll call with the new appointment time. i hate it when that happens.
so that's what i'll be doin tomorrow
and i reckon that's about all i have to say for now.
time for dinnah...
i'll get around later on..
and sorry-- i lied-- i never did answer the comments -- yet.

Oh what fun! You get to pretend to be a bagel dog in the doc's microwave oven!
You really do know how to live in style.
XOXOBC
first!
bwa hahahaha you know i do bradley
too bad there's nowhere to fish in there.
ps- i don't think you've ever been first before-- you get the prize for the day
haha
I kinda like CT scans- they tend to show the problems. I am of the opinion tho that when they do one, they should just go ahead and do the whole damn body just in case
Well Soul...I know I have been absent for a few days, well nearly a week. Sorry my Texan buddy but I've been laid a bit low myself lately. Bloody old bodies that need to be traded in...BaH!
Anyway, I have read the last 6 posts and it does seem as though the pain is lessening a little bit...yes? I think the main frustration seems to be the "no answers" and now just when you thought you may be able to get some, they just raise more questions by cancelling the original appt and scheduling a whole other thing. It must be very scary and extremely worrying having so much up in the air and meanwhile having to endure such a lot of pain.
I'm with you every step of the way Soul even though it's from a great distance. I'll try to keep up once I'm caught up but I'm horribly behind at this point in time.
I'll be traveling tomorrow but I'll also be thinking about you. I know how you hate to do these tests. Maybe this will be the one with the answers. xoxoxo ac
Hey I like that last pic... those crazy cat pics.... Good luck tomorrow.. hope that neuro doc can figure things out that the others couldn't!
raine--- i agree---
they bitch about how expensive ct's are-- but when they do them..even if you tell them you have pain two inches from where they want the pic at-- they still don't take it there--- just call ya back for another.
ugh.
i was really hopin for some answers today.
just more waiting and questions.
but--- i'm leanin.. finally--and for once--towards-- i bet it's nuthin.
that answer always pisses me off-- especially when i know -- it's somethin..or i wouldn't feel this way.
but really... wth..
wouldn't they have said something--anything at all, if the arm thing was serious??? and then they wanted to go further?
if it's nuthin.. and they wanna look for more-due to continue symptoms-- and actually other tests showing things-- thats ok--
i just don't like my own stuff being kept from me.
know what i mean??
hmmm... how's that for a morning rant--
donuts and coffee woulda been better-- but i have none.
well.. i always have coffee-- just no donuts -- they do sound good tho.
hmmm
bummer.
happy---whatever the hell day it is :))
yo, my gypsyyy---
good to see you here-- i missed you-- but stop worrying ... you rest up and get yourself all better before you be worryin about my stuff.
yes the pain is less. still limiting, but hasn't brought me to tears or kept me in bed for long periods lately--
so it looks like we're movin forward with "whatever" it is.
still the only thing we can even guess at is that i somehow got hurt the day that i couln't walk. i fell, and got picked up-- i bet at least 20 times. maybe more. any number of things could have happend--from a pinched nerve--to a break-- just no idea. just that it has been way long and i have no answers, and yes i'm angry about that.
anyhow-- you take care of you-- if i find out anything new i will let ya know---til then.. keep your girls busy pampering YOU
:))
hava a happy aussie day my frind
hugs to you
ac
it better be-- or i just might go postal on someone. :))
ya know-- i'm addicted to the medical shows on tv-like mystery diagnosis etc--- and really, it amazes me that more people don't go postal on dr's or hospitals etc than they do.
but -- the suicide rate for undiagnosed = mistreated patients in chronic pain-- who are passed around and searching for years... is quite high.
just a little trivia there--- cuz no-- i feel fine in both departments there -really.
but there have been times-- if you must know-- such things have crossed my fed up mind.
ok i best shut thy mouth-
have a great day
hey YANKEE
that cat looks like he's in stage four rigormortis!!! it cracks me up-but is kinda creepy too. oh well.
yep i want answers too. dammit.
pretty soon the question will change from
what's wrong with me
to
oops, sorry doc, did that hurt?
lol
have a great day gecko sis
ps YANK
guess what?
i actually SAW a little pink gecko a couple weeks ago-- the cats hadn't found him yet either!
they're cute when they're not leftover cat toys! :))
laterz
I love how you are staying in communication with us, even if you think you're not up to your expectations. I'm glad you like your neuro doc. I think he(?) is probably the one you want to be the best. Your pictures are priceless. How DO you do it? Hanging with you, Soul.
I think a nice cat scan is rather relaxing. :)
Why don't you contact one of those shows ,like "mystery diagnosis" or something. Maybe they'll do a show on you and discover all yer ailments.
AND we could all say "hey, I know her, and now she's famous." LOL
Let us know what they say today.
Love me
I, too, anxious to see what they find. Let us know as soon as you find out! aj
Hopefully this round of tests will tell the tale....keep after them Soul...don't let them put your case on the shelf any longer! Saying prayers that they find out what the problem is and also praying that the problem can be fixed quickly and you can get some needed relief. Hang in there. Hugs, Charlotte
Love the kitty pic---I am SO addicted to the LOL cats...
Hmmm...stupid damned doctors.
Love ya.
xo
is there an update in the house????
Hey bon—
I’m tryin—some days I suck, but I try – I swear I’m brain dead tho.
Yes the neuro is a he.
And the pics—it used to be pretty easy to find pix – I use google—but after so long of doin it—I have to really use my noggin now cuz I come across the same old pictures after over a year or two , and am runnin out of words and phrases. Sometimes it takes over a couple hours to find the perfect picture. By then, sometimes I’m too worn out to even post anything. It’s so stupid ) umm I mean I am.
SMOCHA—it actually was rather relaxing. I was in that thing for about twenty or thirty minutes—five more, and I woulda been asleep. Dammit. )
and if I actually had ALL the answers perhaps I would contact one of those shows—but I don’t. they usually have their diagnosis and improvement before they go on there. I have a few that took years to get diagnosed.. but I still have a few more—lingering.. unanswered. Pissin me off.
I shall report what I found out yesterday in a minute in my update.
AJ—it’s comin—
Charlotte-- you’re telling me—I’m so sick of not knowin --- and I am. I’m not stopping—this time—without knowin something. I think this neuro guy is just as curious as I am. That’s why I like him. Cuz he actually takes things to the next level rather than pass me over to someone else-bout time eh?
Thanks for the prayers btw—I know someone listens to you btw )
Hugs back
me too Jamie—their so insane I crack up like a dumbass lookin at em sometimes.,
and yes—freakin dr’s are gonna send me over the edge someday.
I would just love to go one full year doctor free—do you think that happens to people?? Or is it only a dream?
I wish it for you and me both ya know—maybe even med free—wouldn’t that be something?

and, my veteran friend, Thank YOU!!
i don't know what smilies you speak of P--
:))

that one?
you know that's just a colon and parentheses.. or did i miss a smiley somewhere else??
i'm sooo beyond blind anymore
oh and you are very welcome my .. whatever it is that you do--- that i used to know but have forgotten.. friend. :))
ummm... what else-- oh yes..
i still do plan to get a post on here today-- it just will have to be later-- cuz the old man HAHA (i just wanted to see how it felt to call soulman that-- it was just kinda funny-- i know-- only to me-- but that's alright)
anyhow-- he needs me to drop him off somewhere with one vehicle and drive him home in mine-- and you know i am so overjoyed to do that. normally i wouldnt mind at all-- but here i sit -- in my lazy clothes.. lookin like i crawled off a garbage truck.. just not very visually friendly-- know what i mean--
so i better get to work on that little -- umm -- big problem, before he gets here.
i'll be back-
(O)
