Thank you so much for all he info! It was really helpful! Mike and I plan on renting an apartment for a month and doing all of our own cooking and cleaning - trying to save some money!
I am going to try and figure out what on earth is going on with my back and mobility issues.
I seem to have "stumped"all of the docs here, so Dr. I wants me to have a very thorough workup.
I see a new hip guy on Wednesday. Maybe he'll have some info for me.
I must admit I am
THRILLED
at the prospect of going - maybe this will clear up why I'm in pain all of the time.
Maybe someone will be able to explain this darn swelling.
All I KNOW is that I'm going to fight like heck to regain my life.
Going to life being unable to walk unaided really sucks! I look like a penguin right now!
I DO know that Dr. I has my best interest @ heart! He has actually grabbed a (male) nurse and dragged him in to my room b/c he was late with my meds........what a guy!
I'm also having tons of MRI's and CT scans on Thursday - per Dr. I and Dr. Pinkston. Dr. Pinkston is testing for:
Blood work:
CMP
CBC
TSH
Thyroid AB
Free T4
25 HVD
Hemoglobin
Ferritin
MRI's
L-spine
Bilateral hip
Bone Density
Radiography
Lumbar - 3 views
Bilateral hip
Mammogram
Dr. I is checking for the brain, back and ankles
We'll see how it goes!
I DO see the light @ the end of the tunnel for the first time in a long time!
How are all of you feeling?
Love,
Erin
and you are always in my prayers ,
Patrick
