9/11/24

 I decided that I was traveling down the same road that I did when I needed back surgery. I scheduled an appointment at my GP. They are referring me back to the neuro surgeon, and they sent me for an x-ray. Nothing showed up on x-ray (which it typically doesn’t) except my normal degenerative facet changes, moderate narrowing of the disc space…which can all be a problem with inflammation.

I am going back to my neurosurgeon to see how to proceed. I don’t have an appointment yet.

For now I need to avoid things that make my back hurt. But also make sure to walk and do things that I can comfortably do. I am avoiding lifting, bending, twisting, and stairs as much as possible. 

The bottom of my foot is hot and it feels like there is a lump in the middle of my foot. Nerves are wild! 

I was prescribed a medicine to “help” with pain but it really helps me sleep and then I don’t notice the pain. Win /win!

I had today off and spent the day doing things I wanted to do…except go to the doctor’s and get an x-ray. I walked the dogs around the field. I love watching them have fun.. I also worked on recall with Moe and he is getting really good at it.



Taking it one day at a time. Tomorrow is a busy work day.I will continue with standing or laying down…but no sitting to work. Ouch!
