D D Xrays of my neck a low back have been taken

My ex boss, a Doctor of Chiropractic thinks he knows what is wrong with me.and will read my xrays to confirm it. He thinks I have Spinal Stenosis. May need to have cortizone injections in my spine or things will only get worst. Every symptom that I am experiencing ...points that way.  Looked it up online and YEP those are my symptoms.  Mary my friend.... if your sciatic pain persists go see your doctor.
Once Sandy tells me on Wednesday what he found, he will point me in the right direction. :0)

I asked Randy again today about oxycodone effects. What he explained to me is: If you take it in low doses, it is for pain. High doses such as from anywhere from 80mg on up to over 300mg you can PERFORM IN BED for hours and hours.   Think about it...224 ( an entire months supply)of 5mg oxys were gone pretty quickly before my grandson Gil stole at least 50 more of this months RX  All my reserves .... .from the times hubby was hospitalized ARE GONE. If I manage to get through til the twenty seventh...WHAT HAPPENS if I can't get ahold of his primary to okay that drug in time for his next dose???  Just when I was able to breathe easier about hubby getting down to the wire on his oxy... THIS HAPPENS!

Managed to nap today after getting back from my chiro appointment.:0)
 Hubby hasn't been doing too well. Keeps feeling sick and I know in my heart it's because he isn't getting his correct dose of oxycodone.
Haven't felt up to doing any housework and apparently Jill didn't feel good either, because she spent alot of time in her bedroom and is still in her pj's.  Her B/P meds she takes makes HER TIRED.  Her doctor appointment isn't til later this month.

Wednesday January 18th

Where to start.........................................
Sandy did an adjustment on me  Monday using the flexion detracrtion table that freely swings your hips from side to side...and for two nights I have had far less pain. The pain in my rt.upper arm ( shoulder ) is excrusiating at night though.
I'm leaving now to hear what the xrays revealed. BB

It's now Thursday afternoon.  Sandy referred me to an orthopedist that specializes in Pain Management ( cortizone injections ) for one and the bad news is, I can't get an appointment until Feb 13th.
The last two discs L4 and L5 are just about sitting on each other. Same up in my neck and I have quite a bit of arthritis in my spine too.
Tuesday and Wednesday night I had far less almost no pain in my legs after I was adjusted with/on the flexion detraction table. Not only was I amazed and happy, so was Sandy and he gave me the same adjustment Wednesday, plus adjusted my arm and I had far less pain in that area last night too. That makes me a HAPPY CAMPER. I shit you not!
   I've had so much sensory bombardment that when I can get away from the house I grab at the chance.
Jill cooked last night a big meal for us all including her oldest son, his wife and they brought the baby . Looked like a great meal, BUT...............I talked Tracie into passing up the Chicken Parm ( she had that the night before at Good Times. ) We went to Walmart, then to my Cheryl's house to give her the sheets and things I had for her and then on to the restaurant that her husband works at that we would pass by on the way home as by this time it was 8:30 and we would never make it to any of our favorite places to eat. Dana was working and when he got a break I handed him some money to get 4 tires and insurance. 
Bless him...he blessed me. Cheryl called to thank me today.. He was out getting two  new front tires, ( the tires  for that van cost more than I thought they would) so he figured he could only get two tires, they have two years of excise taxes to pay before they can insure and register their car and his drivers license expired six months ago.  Gads.,..things were worst than I thought!  A grand isn't going to cover this...., but one step at a time. Baby steps. 

As I said earlier, I am constantly being bombarded with stuff my brain is rebelling against. I putter...I nap.
Not to worry....I am in less pain. It's just my mind that needs a break now.

Hubby has a UTI. Did I already tell you that?  Drove myself to the V.A. Clinic to pick to pick up meds and asked to talk to his doctor. Was told ..maybe he could talk to me at four and even that wasn't a guarantee. It was 3:15 . Can I help you....was asked by the male nurse at the desk. About then...I didn't care who was within hearing distance in the waiting room and I told him what had been going on with hubby. He never heard of oxy causing that and went to confer with hubby's primary. Comes back and says, neither has he. Would you like to have a consult with a mental health person, he asked. OHHHHHHHHHHH YESSSSSSSSSSSSS. One will be calling to set up an appoinbtment with me first.  Let's see how long tis takes. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Logan has been in some serious pain ( jaw/neck area ) and the anti biotic he was given by the doctor that her ex's wife takes him to hasn't helped. Yesterday he had to be picked up from school and he no sooner came in the door and I heard him say," I don't care about the $100 dad promised me if I missed no school with you mom." All last night he was in agony. She called his ex's wife to learn the location of the doctor they take him to and got him an appointment.. Two doctors conferred and agreed he is worst. Jill just took him to an ENT they referred him to . She wanted no part in waiting for an appointment and insisted they find her someone that could see him TODAY.   She also was told he needed a C Scan and they could find no openings. She told them she don't care if it's 3 in the morning. Cat scans are done some places 24/7 and it would be better to be with him at 3 in the morning while they do a c scan,than up listening to him cry in pain. She will take ANY HOUR . 

It's going on five p.m. and I must give thought on what to feed hubby. I'll eat the ck parm and stuffed shells. Enjoyed my salad earlier. 
Truth be told...I'm getting lazier and lazier. I am sitting between a war XBOX game being played by Gil in the parlor to my right, the washer and dryer noise to the front of me and hubby's tv ( Judge Judy ) behind me.
THIS I heard someone say on tv today is.being a part of a family. Oh golly gee!
Dryer signalled that I have another load of clothes to fold. Could be worst and dryer could be broke. 
I'm looking at the clean pj's I have laying on the table waiting for the ambition to shower. 

Took one of my sons muscle relaxers and two Tylenol sleeping pills before bed last night and slept WELL.
:0)
This too shall pass and I will be my old self...whatever that is :0)
Meantime , I'll try to read your posts and comment. You all are important to me and so is what is going on in your lives.

That's All Folks!
