Default Ouch!!!! Wow.

I had the MRI yesterday which puts me one step closer but they had me in there, flat on my back (no-no) for an hour. It took two people to get me off the darn thing and back on to my scooter. One of the techs asked if I thought I needed to go to the ER for a shot before going home. I had to bite my lip. Sure, I am going to get a nice shot then drive my scooter home in rush hour traffic. No sleep last night but the ever faithful Judy just called and said she had a feeling I would need her early so I could soak. Sometimes I am convinced that she is an angelic being.

The puter is acting up again so if I disappear for a few days, that's the problem. Right now, I have to sign in everytime I switch windows. Yes, I have checked off that I am supposed to remain signed in. Then, the board will not accept my password for several tries. I just remain patient. Not one of my virtures.

My brother called last night and said my new rollator has been ordered. Santa comes early this year. It will be so great to have a safe rollator. It will be mandatory after the implant. I am thrilled at the thought of being able to stand upright again and walk normally. My gait has been so warped due to compensation that it is going to take time and determination but I have plenty of that. Been there and done it before but not to this extreme. I hope Medicare doesn't jerk me around relative to P.T. They shouldn't since this will be post op. Ah, my angel is here. Later.
