Not that we have any answers for his bruised and swollen back, but the doctor has ordered up  X-rays for that as well as on his knee... which is  sporting a nice size  lump.  I am just now hoping that I can get an appointment for him soon, I called the  hospital to book one and left a message to call me to do a booking.


I also saw the doctor and am also going for X-rays. The doctor is thinking it is possible I have a torn rotator cuff and that is what is giving me all the grief in the shoulder, if it is not that then she is thinking it could be arthritis.  I am hoping for the torn Rotator cuff... that is fixable usually.  I also had her look to see the cause of the  shooting pains in my groin area to the knee.  She  is thinking could be a nerve or again arthritis.  Anyhow  it is  hopefully tomorrow we will be able to get in and have the X-rays done and maybe get some answers.


In the mean time I am on some pretty strong pain pills,  I took 2 as she suggested and last night I was way out of this world with them.  Think I wont take them in the day time because I  really can't function so well with them. 


I did get  a bit longer sleep last night...  the past while I have been getting maybe 2 hours a night and last night I got 4... which is not a lot but  oh did it feel good.  I did however have the oddest dream... thinking that might have been form the pain pills.


Anyhow now is a wait til the  technician calls me back to know if we can get them done tomorrow.


 


Have a great day all!


hugs,
