Saw my darling neuro for my EMG - back, legs, hands.....he was worried about neuropathy (?), but it turned out great! He said that I am in better shape than most (yeah, right! LOL) and he hopes to reduce my pred even further son - yay!

Weird thing about my back - said my RIGHT side had a few problems, not the left, cannot figure that one out, but the MRI on Monday should solve that problem.

Also had my PICC line flushed - all was well there, but it took 2 hours before they were able to get to me.

I'd forgetten how uncomfortable the EMG needle part was.....yikes!

Today was a CRAZY day - no time for the ct scan or MRI - everything took too long, so I'll have them done in the hospital next week - what else is there to do?

Still cannot figure out why my back is hurting so much! I should clarify that he thinks I have a COMPRESSION fracture - not compound! And that the pred may be the culprit......but I need the pred in order to live, so what are my choices?

Does anyone else have lower back pain that feels like electricity going down their leg and then the foot goes numb? It comes out of no where. It feels OK when I am propped up on pillows, but once I get behind the wheel or even walk too much and I am in PAIN - bad pain!

I hope all of you are doing GREAT today!

Big hugs!
