GOOD TGIFRIDAY MORNING, BUDDIES!

Hi, Buddies!


Well, my MRI results are in, and I'm a mess. LOL  Actually, I didn't even understand half of what the doctor said, but it involved words like compression, narrowing, stenosis, bulging, and finally neurosurgeon.  Sigh.  So, now I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon next Wednesday.  I don't necessarily have to have surgery, but evidently it's a possibility.  For now, I'm on a new pain medicine which is good because it doesn't seem to make me as sick as the last one and bad because it doesn actually make the pain go away for very long. 


So, enough about that -- happy Friday!!  Are you happy to see the end of the week?  I am and I'm not.  I'm glad to be finished with classes - especially because next week is my spring break - but I'm sad because K is going back to college tomorrow. 


Have a wonderful Friday!  Don't forget to dance!


((((HUGS)))) - Karen

HI Karen, and TGIF buddies, although I missed 18 hrs of work this week, and hey, I should wait and see if I last the 8 hrs today first, but will drag my battling with a nasty cold butt into work and give it a whirl today.

Oh Karen...(((((HUGS)))))
It sounds like you're going down the same road I just traveled. I will pray that it isn't the same outcome!!!! Did they say where or anything about the carotid artery?? Please make sure you understand what they are telling you. Prayers coming your way continually.

Prayers being said daily for you dear one. Like Josie said. Not all neurosurgeons are created equal; don't be afraid to shop around. No matter what you decision, its personal, and we'll be praying for you each step of the way. (((hugs))) Deep breaths.

On my way to Hershey Medical Center with DS who is scheduled to see the pediatric cardiologist today at 12:30. I'm told the appt. will be 3-4 hours; as they do procedures and then they read them, do more procedures read those, etc. until they know what is going on and why you are having symptoms. Pray that it isn't anything serious and this is just a ruling the big stuff out.

It's been a stressful week. Hope the rest of you are doing well. Dance like no one is watching. =)

I'm sorry to hear you're such a mess, ((((Karen)))). I hope that there is some relief to be found (I know there is and will pray for the doc to find the best route to take).


YAY for spring break, but BOO for L'il K having to go away. Is she in her last year of college? And how is J doing in college??


Have a super weekend!
