Update after seeing Dr.

I've been having pain and numbness in my tail bone, pain down my left leg, and some on the right.  Neuropathy increasing in my left foot, and starting in my right.  Dr. thinks either tumor or scar tissue in my tail bone is pinching a nerve. I'm taking hydrocodone for the pain - works part of the time.  My CA-125 cancer marker has risen from 7 to 24 - not very good.  So, I'm getting an MRI or my brain and upper spine this week, and of the rest of my spine next week.  They didn't want to keep me in the MRI machine for 4 hours, so split the scans.  (Nice of the techs to think of me.)  I will be taking permanent disability from LANL soon to give my try at being a full-time"House Wife" and "Taxi" driver for Jamie.  (Although I'm not much for cooking.  If family wants good meals, will cook themselves.)

I'll update again once I get the MRI results

  1. Thank you for the update, Cheri. A taxi driver for Jamie eh? Well, you've got the yellow car going for you at least!
    I don't like to hear about the increase in the CA-125 so please do update again after the MRI.

  2. The brown MG isn't much of a taxi, I'd say you're more of a chauffeur (sp?).
    Hopefully the tail bone thing is just scar tissue and will eventually go away. Nerve stuff is so tough to figure out - are you still seeing an acupuncturist? Sux to be on pain killers, but if they work then I'm sure it's well worth the side effects. We'll be praying for good MRI results Cheri.
