Tomorrow we go back to LA. Mere is staying with the girls and Tommie is going with me (again). The place where time crawls and I get stuck with lots of needles. I'm not really sure what this trip with bring. All I know is that I am having a myelogram on Tuesday. They are pre-medicating me with steroids and B.enadryl and keeping me in the hospital overnight. I'm also still on D.ilantin so I am really hoping there is no seizure in my future. Someone asked me....how can you be so scared of something that you don't remember? I don't know. It is strange. I do remember a few little moments but it is strange to be so scared of something that is largely removed from my consciousness.
I am scheduled for surgery on Wednesday. Rather or not I will actually have surgery, I don't know. I'm thinking that if the myelogram is normal then they will do a large volume blood patch. The truth is, I have NO IDEA. What I do know....I really don't want to go again!!!!!
We are so blessed with amazing friends, family, and church.
I'll keep you posted.....unless I'm on a morphine drip.
