hello friends! good news! i have 2 herniated discs in my neck and 3 in my lower back, praise God! i don't have brain tumors or aneurysms! woohoo! so now i go to a spine doctor in 2 weeks to see what can be done to correct the situation... maybe he'll tell me to take a week off and rest from my crazy heavy lifting j o b 8-) dare i dream it 8-) i also discovered my BP is just as high as it was 2 weeks ago and it turns out the NSAID i was taking causes high BP as a side effect... so that has been stopped and my BP med increased and i get that checked again in 2 weeks also... maybe i'll be "normal" by then... but why be normal? so it's been all good and then today, WHAM, something happens to bring me right back down to a state of sadness... but still it's okay because like it says in Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 8-D
