It’s Complicated

 Y’all, my body is a mystery at this point. I recently (1 month) was diagnosed with a prolapsed bladder, this comes with a lot of other issues. I also met a new pain management doctor whom ordered MRI’s of my whole spine. Top to bottom. He squirted some stuff up my nose that gave me instant relief from my migraine, TMJ, and face pain. He wrote me a script for a very expensive RX then adjusted it to the one I’m on. My MRI showed significant changes since early 2023 🫣. My bladder has fallen half way down and is putting pressure on a lot of things including my spine. My back HURTS. 🙄. I’m getting my medial cluneal nerve block done on both sides on the 25th and more nose stuff on the 18? I also finally get to see the bladder doc on the 22nd. 

So I have been having horrid back pain that runs down the back of my legs. My job today was to drive 339 miles to pick up my son. For some reason I was seeing double, was spinning in my brain and was nauseated. I had trouble swallowing unless I drank something so I drank a lot of water. This made me stop at my best station about at the 1/2 way mark. I grabbed some Dramamine and took it to see if it would clear my vision. I waited, walking my dog and buying food from the bake sale to sponsor local jr high cheerleaders! I decided to start back on my journey.when I came up on Gainesville to get on 35, I was not feeling right. But I decided to try. What’s 180 miles!? Yeah I didn’t make it. By the time I passed the casino my left arm gave up on life. It went to sleep. I was finding the wake up bumps way too often and one car looked like two side by side. I exited at Ardmore and walked myself and ny dog in and almost passed out. They were quick to call the ambulance. My dog got to go with me as I could not leave him in the truck and my dad Ken was an hour and 23=minutes north of me.


Luckily he is smart and tuned into my discomfort instantly.the held his leash for my risky scans with contact that I am allergic too. Like I have an epi pen allergic…the dosed me with Benadryl and steroids before the another round after. At this point, Ken, Gramps and Kolton had arrived.they were able to get my truck, child and Duke back to OKC.
Thank you Lord. They are keeping me for stroke watch.i will have a brain MRI in the am then go from there. My last brain imaging was the week before my hip surgery in JULY 2023. I had “bright spots” a symbol of cluster or complex migraines. I was kept for two nights and sent home.being this far from home and mom’s home has me concerned.luckily I was planning to stay a night in OKC so I have a lot of my stuff. Sadly, my kid has sports on Monday.i have no idea how this will all play out. I don’t need to focus on that right now.in fact, I should be sleeping but my back is killing me and the doct wont order me anything. Why? Because he doesn’t know what’s going on. It’s complicated.likely the bladder is putting pressure on my spine and everything else ( im Constipated) So iamgivibg it go God!
