Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hello fine people and always newer members. Thankyou all who wrote me (MANY of you) in regard to the term Subluxation that I needed. Unfortunately I have not been able to write all who helped me back at this time due to being in severe pain and back and forth to hospital and Doctor visits, this as many of you know is a regular form of life for me for many years now. I suffered a fall a few weeks back on my canes but my ataxia was just too great and I fell onto my right hip into our counters in the kitchen. Well I harmed myself and didn't know it, then last week they wanted to put me into the hospital and stay there for however long was needed to get my Pain under control,. the problem for me is that I also have severe Cord pain from Cord Disability past and present and severe neck and lower head pain (occiput) this is all NERVE pain and as any of you out there know as well as all nurse's and Nuero Physicians know Nerve pain is considered some of the worst pain there is. Now lets get back to the hip pain after screaming for 2 days straight at the walls at my husband to not touch me because of pain, I was sent a few days la ter to MRIs, they decided that since I needed some Different type cervical MRIS and X-rays also that they would just do them ALL including the Pelvis ones. NOT a good idea. I had already refused being put in hospital and was sent home with Pain meds which I opted for instead of being hooked up to the old Pump, I reserve those for my surgeries as I cant stand being that doped and Im only 95 pounds , but yes I probably should have gone in and saved my family from watching me suffer so long, but I AM taking my meds like a Good Girl,ha,ha,ha if you knew me you would understand that I HATE to take things. It seems after almost 3 hours of MRIs and X-rays that I injured the Hip Capsule and Tore Ligaments off the Capsule and injured the Part of the Hip that the Capsule goes INTO, so PAIN PAIN as bad as any of my Brain and or Cord surgeries the kind that makes you want to spit bullets or Ram your body into a wall just to pass out and sleep for a few weeks. So next week I have to go to Orthopedic surgeon. The thing My GP was concerned about in my particular case is that I am a previously left side damaged patient considered SCI and cannot sustain weight alone on left side (whole left side is this way) so now My right side is also this way and my Wheelchair is my friend again, my legs are in as bad of shape as they were back years ago just before I ended up totally in a Chair, so this is a DRAG for me but I will live through it as I do everything else. I am not young in Bones to sustain these things well at this point and I have Osteo in Both hips and shoulder so its the pits. Now for more fun, on my Pelvis study (keep in mind I lost about 80%) of mainly skin sensations many moons ago), well they wrote that I also have 2 solid cysts in your Left ovary, One larger than the other and of course I cannot feel skin there nor objects like Cysts or tumors when I get them in Breasts so I rely on my annual visits and my checking for these things however I cannot check ovaries if you get my drift. SO after Ortho Surgeon I have my GYN visit 4 days later, they got me in soon (usuallu have to wait MONTHS but because of my age (40s) AND solid cysts AND 2 of them that they know are not Follicle or free fluid because radiology said NO FLUID. Now back to pain, right now I am sitting here in agony, I cried so much the last few weeks I don't think Ive EVER cried this long in one months time. Thanks to my buddy Robin C Ive had someone to vent to and talk with and laugh with to help take some Burden away, of course she knows I love her because we are sisters in heart and compassion and no matter what is going on with each of us, if one of us needs each other we stop all we are doing, so nice to have at least one sister who is that way and 3!!!! who are blood and who are not. Ive been praying a lot lately and for others who are suffering. Today a freind of mine told me that her son (he is 27) has cancer and is fading, he is a single father of a 6 year old, I offered to bring them dinner in the hospital for Thanksgiving as they will be there trying more treatments, either way I hope to at least be able to visit (it depends sometimes when people are that ill and on Chemo or Radiation treamtenes they dont want company. I have another freind who had the worst Grade Breast cancer so I understand.. Please Say a little prayer for my friends son and his child. As far as my Brain and Cord tests, well IM not going to say anything until I hear back from some people, I don't have much faith in NSGS right now but I do have Faith in God and myself and that will have to be enough. I do know for sure I have Subluxation of something in my Cord, don't fully understand it but ah Hell who cares IM so messed up that seems like Peanuts compared to how bad the rest of my Cord and Brain are,ha,ha,h,aha,ha. Don't know much of going ON's around here but loves you all very much, and SO SO SO Sorry haven't been on here to help like I Do normally, just don't have it in me right now. Im just Not a Happy Camper right now guys and Gals. Love and Peace and for all who are having or who recently had surgery, you will be OK just take it easy and no jumping off tall buildings. Of cousre this is coming from a woman who still drives up the street with now a hip that is half dangeling,ha,haha well thats how it feels (smile) and partial blindness in right eye and oxygen tanks just waiting for me back home,ha,hah,a WHAT A PICTURE THAT IS...... .... but HEY Im Still here and still as stubborn as ever and heck I only drive half a mile to my coffee place its where my old lady friends hang out with me and afterall who is going to pick me up if I had to Hitchhike,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha. " Chip just LOVES the thought of me driving (smooch). " Hey Got all my Equipment back there in my (Mini me) SUV (subaru) if a policeman pulled me over they would think I run a medical Equipment business, but Gang it keeps me Mobil so I will always be pakcing my car with aids to keep me mobil and getting out in this interesting world we live in. (dont be peeved if I dont write back soon its just too hard) Love and Peace always Dahli Dawn the Stinker WACMA member since 1997 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
