howdy folks--
yes, i would much rather be goin fishin than where i'm goin soon.
i have to go have yet another friggin MRI. i just don't get it-- i practically begged for an MRI for years, and now it seems i am having one -- or some other type of scan, or xray- or some crap -- every other week.
but hell. at least i'm being taken seriously now,. but i don't wanna go. anywhere actually.
the wind is screamin outside and it's not even 40 degrees. definitely MY hibernation weather. but oh well.
maybe they'll find the real problem this time. i'm beginning to think they just want my damn money. ugh.
the scan will be of my neck and scap areas. ugh. where it shoulda been months ago. they kept doin the shoulder..bones. sheeeeat. so anyhow-- no time for jibber jabber-- i must go get my glow on.
happy monday :))
i think that's an oxy moron...isn't it?
===============================================================
240 pm
hello again--- i'm baaaaack. i feel fat btw. i have gained so much weight lately. omg i feel like a whale. i'm sure the apple, and 2 bowls of cereal didn't help any-- but i was hungray! now i'm tired. i think i may just take a nap.
in answer to your question joz--- the new sleep med seems to work pretty well--- so far. i think i've only taken it two- or three times? but i sleep til 7-- i slept til almost 8 this mornin. so that's a good thing there. sorta. until i miss an appointment cuz i don't wake up. :))
on the other hand--- the ortho doc apparently already got the MRI report-- even though i still have the scans with me. some woman called to schedule me for the shots in my neck... apparently called -- somethin like a cervical epidural steroid injections. (which i will be lucky enough to be sedated for.
(3 appointments.--Lord i hope it helps. it's basically a nerve block. something i don't know why hasn't been tried before. but i'm game now.i knew the neuro doc was missin somethin. i like him ok, but i think he shoulda caught this.
the new diagnosis?
Cervical Radiculopathy
i don't know if that means the diagnosis he did give me has changed---or if there are two diagnoses now.... but he had diagnosed me a while back with :
cervical dystonia too.
so. what does all this mean?
it means i am in pain. and now-- "they believe me."
so--- also to answer your question -- donna--- nope no surgery yet-- but it may be an option. if nothin else works.
anyhow-- that oughtta do it-- so - i'm gonna go lay my lard ass down for a while-- hope y'all are havin good days-
mine's just "glowin" :))
laterz-

I've been thinking it's Tuesday all day. Doh!
It's freezing and f'n windy here too. I loathe the wind.
Have fun getting your glow on. LOL
Love me
What's been the problem? Have you had surgery on your neck?
Yes it is a really crappy day to be goin' places Soul Sis, but I'm just glad they are FINALLY paying some attention and at least trying to track down the problem for you. Nothing is worse than being ignored. Now if they can just come up with some solutions or at least reasonable pain management. How is that new sleeping pill working for you?
Happy Monday Soul...glad you're getting the MRI, although not fun, it could give you some much needed answers.
Sorry to hear this Soul. I looked it up and basically is a tightening of the muscles around the cervical vertabrae so I'm thinking surgery may not have to take place? I'll see if I can find out more about it...
And by the way, I've seen you in person and you are far from fat!!
