*bump* so everyone can add to the list or are a bunch of you taking the week off for a much needed rest?
Thank you for the prayers. I could always use the extra help! May everyone have a good week!!
Best wishes to you and your new beginnings.
Thanks again,
Ren
We made it back tonight from our 10 day vacay out west and I have to go to work tomorrow. :-(
Followup with the cardiologist on Friday to review what we do now and then wrap up the day with my massage therapy. :-)
I'm thankful it should be a fairly calm week.
glad to be back,
Lulu
Someone recently shared with me the following bit of wisdom: "Normal" is nothing but a setting on your dryer.
ren, we will be praying for you and your situation, for sure. The rest of you too, of course.
Travel safely, Fluff!
Tomorrow is last day of work before my "suggested" leave of absence without pay.
Thursday:Figure out all the rest of paperwork for disability.
Friday: appointment with nephrology/hypertension doc.
Thank you!!!!!!
I don't have appts. Work and home and kid's events keeping me busier than I'd like.
I would like a little reminder of normal though - if anyone has some of that please do share!
hugs,

Had a repeat lumbar sacral MRI on Monday. D.O. wants to recheck and see if my stenosis is getting any worse. I have problems with my SI joint popping out of alignment, so we'll see what he wants done at a follow-up on Wednesay. He just put the darned thing back in alignment 2 weeks ago and it's out again already.... ughhh
Nothing else medical planned.
Enjoy your trip Fluffysmom!!!
Tomorrow - have an eye specialist appointment that I missed in March due to lots of snow. I figure it's a wasted trip as all I keep getting told is that they don't know what's wrong with them or why they are doing what they are doing but I guess I'd better go anyways. I think my right eye is getting worse with the bleeders so it should be checked out. So yeah, 6 hours of driving to look forward to.
Tuesday - vestibular rehab, give myself allergy shots, pick up Lyrica refills.
Rest of week - see if I can get results of auditory/vestibular testing, see if I can get an appointment with new neurologist.
Pack and other preparations for trip to Orlando;
Friday - take Fluffy in to catsitters
Saturday - Fly east to Orlando, pretty much an all day effort. Bought noise-cancellation headphones, am loading more music on my I-pod, as well as meditations. Packing lunch, snacks, for trip.
Sunday - see how I do in high temperatures and humidity, or where the coolest pool is! Have sunscreen, hat, will carry bottled water. :o)
Nuttin', nada, zip, zilch. Trying to think where to go from here. Should I let the Neurontin work for a few more weeks before I start nagging the neurology dept. about my ongoing balance & vision symptoms again? At least the pain has diminished quite a bit, for which I am thankful.
I think my soonest follow-up appointment is with the neuro-ophthalmologist (who prescribed the Neurontin, and at least acknowledged MS as a possibility, based on my symptom history and test results), around the end of June. Neurologist doesn't want to see me until mid-July, if memory serves, and the endocrinologist is probably around then, too. I have all this stuff written down somewhere.
