Really Bad News.....

For the past couple of days I have been have the worst pain I have felt since my loss. I ranted and raved until I was finally called back by my neurologist. I am now on even more powerful pain meds, and I was told today that I will have to have surgery or I will be looking at a life of being paralyzed.

The doc told me that the report from the MRI that I had in October did not do justice to my condition. His exact words were that my neck is in "horrible", shape. I am glad that someone finally believes that there is something truly wrong after years of hearing that it was all in my head. I am not however looking forward to another very painful, very involved surgery. I have to do it though I cannot take the pain anymore. I am on the type and enough meds now to knock a horse over, and it is doing nothing for the actual pain. So on to bigger and better things.

I should be sleeping right now, but I cannot sleep more than an hour or two. If I shift an inch or two I am awake. Tomorrow I will have the new meds and I know that I will be out of it most of the time, but I have no choice. It is either be zonked out of my mind or suffer horrendous pain. I will take being zonked thank you...

I am not sure if or when I will post again. I will be having my surgery soon, but I will look in on you all from time to time.

Much love and peace to you all, until....
