We will skip the gorey details but i knew there was trouble and called pain man, asking for an emergency appt. I don't do that. Bless his heart, he came in from an at home vacation, examined me and had had a phone conference with the surgeon and medtronic rep. I spent the afternoon having all sorts of tests run and it looks like i have an infection that is devise related. My daughter is coming up from tennessee to take me up to see him. I will take a bag so i can stay with my other daughter until this is settled. Cross your fingers. Hugs all around.

The ironic thing is I never suspected that sort of infection. The device was working fine and buzzing away. The surgeon is in Atlanta for the basketball games. I sure was hoping Louisville would lose on sunday. I need some better luck.

Crazy Geeze, Spine...
I'm real sorry to hear this. I sure hope your body isn't rejecting your unit.
You've certainly been through the mill and you sure didn't need this.
The prayers are mounting and we'll believe for the best in this situation.
I pray for HEALING and restoration in your body

Rest easy dear one....

Well, it looks like I won't be going up for another week. The office staff would not give me a deffinate appt. They said they would call me by the end of the day and let me know if I could be squeezed in on Wednesday or Friday. They want me to have my daughter to bring me up tomorrow and then wait around at my other daughter's house until they feel like working me in. No promises. I told them I was not making the trip on a maybe. I told them I needed an appt even if it wasn't until Friday but they never called back.

I just talked to my daughter in Tennessee and she adjusted her schedule and said she could take me up on Thursday for a Friday appt. I guess we will take it from there. It's getting a bit spooky as I feel more sick each day, not to mention that my buzzer has been turned off for six days now. Ouch.

So sorry to hear about your problems. You've been through so much. I hope and pray there is some sort of resolution that will help you sooner than later.
