New Challenge MRI Results

I got sick of waiting for the Doctor to ring me with the results of my MRI scan. he said he would chase them during my last Cancer Clinic appointment, that was 6 weeks ago. It is now ten weeks since my scan.

I rang my specialist nurse Anita, who told me that the results were there but she couldn't interpret them. She would have to ring a Doctor who would get in touch with me. Simon my consultant rang me and apologised there has been some mix up and i should have been told the results sooner.

It seems that the results now show that I have something called a degenerative spinal condition. according to Simon this could be anything from Arthritis to a dissolving of the discs. It all sounds very big and horrible to me. I do have back pain, I do stumble when I walk and my hip hurts after being on my feet for a while. All of these Simon says could be factors in the condition that I now face.

Simon is refering my scan to a bone man for further analysis and has suggested I dont worry too much until we know for definate what it is that I am facing. (Easy for him to say). Well I am worried and I am thinking about it, it has been two weeks now since my conversation with Simon and the bone man still hasn't been in touch. I have a Cancer Clinic appointment on the 10th of September, if I don't hear anything before I think the big guns will come out. ITS MY LIFE AND I WANT TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENING TO ME.

Frustrating

Just when I start to think that I'm doing OK. What happens? My body slaps me in the face and tells me it isn't. Yesterday I got up at about 9.30 had breakfast and was asleep again before 10.30.

Not only that but I slept most of the day up until 7 ish in the evening. Gorr it's so frustrating to think a couple of years ago all I would have is an afternoon knap, not now my body tells me it is gonna sleep all flippin day. Ho Hum .

First full Week

Last week was my first full week at work. By full week I don't mean monday to Friday. I mean a full working day full week. 8.00 am until 5.00pm.

I thought that I was ready for it, but my body knows it isnt. So maybe it's time that i listened to it and rested for a while. So I am going back to workinf 10.00 till 5.00pm for a while. To see how I cope.
