Ok you two...get your bee-hinds out here. I've got to be in SLC on the 31st for a wedding. I am the bride's godmother and I am also the FLORIST for the wedding. I could use all the help I can get. Flowers arrive here on the 29th and I have 4 bouquets to do, 5 corsages, 2 table centerpieces, and I lost count on the bouts for all the men! And then we drive to SLC on the 31st! At least the road is open! LOL!

Want buddy passes to fly out on Delta? We have places to stay! I would love it!!! And there will be tons of food and we can teach these people how to play liquorama!! They would love it!!

Flying standby is tons of fun! As long as you have the time, the price is right! Not quite free but pretty reasonable!!

All kidding aside, it would be fun and trust me I would love the company and the help and you would be most welcome!

As for the pain, who knows. I have another appt with the ortho doc on the 30th and maybe, just maybe I can talk him into a cortisone shot to help relieve some of the pain. At this point, I don't care if it's approved by TriCare or not! This just blows as Gazzie put it so eloquently in an earlier post.

Pete, I have dealt with pain before but nothing like this. I am not usually a complainer and deal with pain but not like this. When you know what it is, that's one thing, but when all the docs are baffled, that scares me. The neurosurgeon was my lifesaver and he's out her bobbling around with me looking for answers. I hate this. He's the guy who dx'd me with MS after I got tossed around from one doc to another after being numb from the waist down for 3 weeks. He solved the puzzle that no one else could. I guess I was expecting too much - I expected to waltz into his office and he would wave his magic wand and tell me what was wrong and fix it. Maybe that will still happen, there are still a couple of tests yet to be done. I'm just too impatient! But then again, maybe not. I've been putting up with this since the beginning of November.

I am sorry you've been in such a state for so long. I guess maybe I am learning to deal with something new with MS or just something new. Who knows at this point. In the grand scheme of things, I've been lucky (?) my exacerbations have been frequent, but I've always bounced back. As my neuro puts it, I am either 100% or zero. Right now, I am neither. Just cranky. And it being the holidays and no one working makes it even more difficult to get answers.

And to top it off, the person who works in my ortho docs office seems to think that patient care is not part of her job description! And as you all know, that does NOT sit well with me. I have written one letter of complaint to the doc, called him once, and it ain't over yet. We shall see what happens when I go in for my appt on Tuesday. I feel like I am The neurosurgeon's office had problems obtaining my records from her and they are not happy. I had to get them for him and luckily I have a good rapport with the hospital that did all the MRIs and X-rays. Why don't people just do their jobs?

Enough!

I am ready for a break! It's snowing today. Supposed to get another 4-5 inches! It's beautiful!

When I figure this out Pete, I will certainly let you know! Take care and let's see what we can figure out!
