Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 the neuro's office called me today and they're able to squeeze me in next week for my EMG. i really, really hope that this test helps determine the exact source of my pain so i can get appropriate treatment. also, i just did a lot of research on the north american spine society website for my mom. it seemed like a really good resource. i may go with my mom on her next doctor appt so i can talk to her doctor. my mom is a very passive, " yes doctor, if you say so " kind of patient, so i just want to make sure i approve of this guy who's gonna cut my mom wide open. i mean this surgery has the potential to heal her or ruin her. i'll let everyone know how my test goes. i won't be able to see my pain doc until the week after but at least i don't have to wait too long. i'm in terrible pain today and i'm so sick to my stomach that i can't take any more meds. i hate that. on saturday, i'm driving my mother to go see a very sick friend of hers. it's a 2 hour drive both ways. we're going to be the most pathetic pair to ever travel together. we will both be suffering there and back. i have my drivers seat all fixed up with a giant lumbar pillow and a rounded pillow behind my neck and my mom will be wearing about 5 different braces on her joints. it's going to be a sucky day. but she really needs to see her dying friend. i predict that saturday night, we will both be taking ridiculous amounts of pain medication and muscle relaxers and spending time on our heating pads. i feel like the oldest 29 year old in the world! :| -melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
