good news/bad news
So today I went in for my doctor's appointment and had a visitor (Mark). The good news: my left facet joint pain that has been the bane of my existence for the past 2 yrs is G..O..N..E (because of the rhizotomy)!!! YAY!!!!! Let's hope it lasts for a while.
Now to the bad news - my right facet joint which has been the bane of my existence since mid October still hates me right now. I'm going in for a CT scan at the end of this week then it's back to my doctor's office to see what is going on with my whacked out joint.
I found this quote somewhere and I just felt that it was perfect for this forum so I thought I'd share....
"When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more blessed than you imagined."
I hope you guys are doing well!!!
