Everyone:

From my fall last month, Today is 6 weeks. I fell getting out of the car.
It was catching my foot on my purse, didn't feel anything with my hip
till the next day. But Progressively, by the next Monday went to ER,
and the xray showed no fracture. But I was in lots of pain, and by THursday
I had called my primary care doctor he called in Two meds, which I'm
still on, Methocarbamol 500 mg tablet, the Ortho represcribed it. And
Meloxicam 7.5 mg. Same on this ortho represcribed it. When I got
an appointment thanks to primary. Also had PT started.

I went to Ortho, was in so much pain, they re-xrayed the Hip, still no fracture,
did xray of back, saw nothing. But ortho said, I needed a MRI, of back and
spine because of the pain, so he ordered on. Had it a week later. Which
was week 4. Was in so much pain, it took 3 people to get me out of the car.
I got inside, and was in my wheelchair, and couldn't sit there. So they let
me lay down. And I did the MRI, I got the results that thursday finally
sent to my primary, even though I'm pretty sure the ortho had them on
TUesday afternoon, but their office said, they got them on Friday.
Anyway that was Memorial Day weekend. They primary was putting in
a referral for a Spine ortho, which would also have to be a different office.

I finally got a referral for The spine Center yesterday, ITs for next Monday.

Which will be the start of the 7th week.


I'm so glad its finally coming through. I am missing summer games this
year. But my husband Dale is taking derrick, and that is something Derrick
has always wanted.

I have help coming in for me. So I will be okay.

Please pray I can get more relief on Monday. I am a little better but the
pain keeps returning more and more.
