Barb,
You pretty much summed up a majority of my feelings. I am not afraid of what Mayo has to say.......................just say something. I want to hear " Oh yes, I have seen this before and it is.........
Things happening so rapidly does cause me concern. Up until a month ago I could still work. (Well, sort of, LOL) I used a lot of vacation days because I had many bad days. I have a chronic illness (FMLA) on file so that I do not lose my job and the days don't count against me.
My work has been fantastic and that is one of the greatest of my fears. That I will never be able to work again. I know that many of you are at that point and if that is the case for me then I will need all of you to help me with coping skills. But that is a bridge I will cross when the time comes.
I will let you know what the x-rays show. The order is for the lumbar spine, but if this continues, I will ask for a full spinal MRI.
Thanks for your input, every bit helps and just venting.
Gentle hugs back to you,
Judy
