Good Morning Y'all..It's supposed to be sunny but very cold here again today. Please come on spring.
Ok, Doctor's report. I had x-rays taken yesterday morning and saw my Doc in the afternoon. He pulled the pics up on his computer and it's true, I am now the bionic man That's what it looks like anyway and he said everthing looked great and to remember to be patient as I was only five weeks away from surgery and this will take a full six months, at least, to heal.
Now for the strange part. He didn't know what to make of the super-sensitivity and pain I was feeling in my buttocks and around my waist to the top-front of my legs. He had thought it was nerve regeneration when I talked to him on the phone. Well, he left me, went down the hall and came back with another Doctor. After looking me over and chatting among themselves they are in agreement that I have SHINGLES. Geeezypeeezy.
I have to go for another M.R.I. this morning just to make sure but they seem postitive about the diagnosis. The Internist that my Doc asked for help wrote me a prescription for something I have to take every four hours until gone but should clear it up. I sure hope so. It's maddening to feel like this. Now y'all are up to date on my problems
Everyone have a great and safe day..
