Just spoke with the Neuro. As I feared, it appears that I may have reherniated one of the left side discs. I started getting some of the same pain in my left butt.leg.ankle and foot that laid me low in 07. It's most likely a combo of the Va. trip and severe hacking from the cold that was generously donated to me.
But it means no Feast of the Hare for me. I can't begin to explain the level of disappointment and sadness.
Just to make one thing very very clear.... I do not, for one second, regret my decision to go to Va. I did it with the clear understanding and acceptance that this might happen. Just wanted to put that out there. :-)
Did I mention I'm getting a bow???
But.... it means I can't go for sushi. *major pout* I can get it to me, but it's not the same as going to an all you can eat sushi and Chinese food. :-( sigh.
Now to see if I can manage not to gain too much weight. I just have to convince myself that I cannot get off the couch/bed other than for the bathroom. :-(
