Took the week off...

OK...so I will in the next few days,maybe get to pictures from last weekend...didn't take any this week because I was on my back, on the floor, in PAIN! I had a spinal tap done last Monday & then of course developed a spinal tap headache...just like I did after the epidural with Sam...I have NO idea why they call it a headache because it in NO way resembles a headache! It incapacitates you...you have to lay completely on your back & then the pressure is relieved & you feel great. Move the slightest bit upright & it is all over with...your head is KILLING you...the worst migrane EVER & then because it is so painfully hard to hold your head up...it starts hurting in your neck & then shoulders. So, I layed there, on the floor for several days. On Thursday I thought I could make it to the military appreciation lunch at the kids school...what was I thinking!?!? I promptly laid down on that filthy, disgusting floor until a friend (THANK YOU Donna & Chris!!!) came to the rescue & took home Ben & Sam & her husband took me to the hospital! After doing a blood patch & staying at the hospital most of the day I was all better...other than being sore where they stuck the needle in my spine...AGAIN! Anyway, why the spinal tap...trying to figure out what is wrong with me...I have had MRI's, and TONS of blood work...more than 20 tubes!! I see another neurologist tomorrow & internal medicine doc. on Tuesday to see if they can come up with answers. I have had numbness in all 4 limbs...was only left originally but, has started in my right side a little over a month ago. At first was thought to be a tumor or MS...but, they have been ruled out...well, the MS...not completely...but, he is "pretty sure". So, I don't know...I have good days & then "not so good" days with this chronic pain. So, prayers are welcome & if anyone has any ideas send them my way???
