Train wreck
That's the best description of how i've felt. I've been absolutely the most miserable feeling since i've been in a body cast 18 years ago. My run of luck has been staggering on the bad end of the teeter totter healthwise.
First, i start with the afroementioned pain in the head/neck/spine. Well, cat scan shows a large cyst, which shouldn't be a problem....which..has been verified to me multiple times, which...if you've ever seen an mri of your brain with one of these in it is still pretty frightening. Frankly, it's absolutely AMAZING i don't have any problems with this thing, and in fact, all my doctors (yes, plural) seem almost matter of fact about it. I just gotta get it checked about once every 6-12 months..probably forever. Eh, i can live with that, and accepted it..no big deal.
Of course, that wasn't contributing to my problems, SO, i had an mri, which if you've never had one, you don't want one. It's like being in a coffin inside of a fire truck that is blaring all it's horns and sirens and you can't move for 60 minutes while this is going on, which, you can't anyways, cause you are IN A COFFIN.
So, that one came back...my head, brain, and neck are all perfectly fine. SO what the fuck next? i still have problems..altho...my neuro didn't understand me i guess clearly (which he defended quite adamantly at my last meeting with him) SO, we ordered ANOTHER MRI on my spinal cord. Sweet.
SAme time, all this was going on, i noticed the pain was getting really amped up last week..like REALLY amped up. THen, it hit me...some nasty bug. I got a fever of 103 and was taken to the ER for the second time in two weeks. Took xrays of my chest to make sure it wasn't pneumonia. Luckily, they only found NODES GROWING ON MY LUNGS. Seriously, come on. i really didn't need to hear that, altho, that was quickly followed up with 'well, their benign, they aren't cancerous and appear to just be a couple blood vessels..." A-holes. next time, don't eve freakin' tell me. Seriously. I'm at the breaking point of bad health news. At the same time, all i have is a fever, which scares all the doctors, i don't have any other flu symptoms ,but the fever, so, i have lots of tests done. blood drawn. urine given. and finally, the sweet, sweet, shot of pain killing drugs. That was the best i've felt since i was 14...seriously. Nothing hurt. anyplace. for like 5 hours. i miss that shot....
anywho, i was basically bedridden wed nite thru fri afternoon..went to work for 4 hours..back to the doctors and to give blood, then slept for about 40 of the next 48 hours.
Just got back my final mri results on my back and, it's perfectly fine. So, i should be okay...however, my back still hurts. it is WAY better. Today is actually the first day i've been at work where i will leave and not think "thank God i can get out of here to rest my back" which is VERY VERY VERY GOOD. So, i think i'm on up the swing.
Bottom line, i need some good freakin' karma coming my way.....maybe from Santa.
