Not cancer this time
If it isn't one thing, it's something else.
I have been fighting lower back pain and unexplained leg pain for over two years now.
PT paused by covid; resumed after chemo--paused again. (Thanks, Medicare)
Finally convinced my PCP that I needed this damn thing FIXED.
A real diagnosis: spinal stenosis--looks nasty.
I have surgery finally scheduled--L5-S1Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion.
(Rear end alignment?)
I am hoping to finally be able to walk again like an evolved biped.
The deed is to be done on August 24--and I am keeping my port for the time being.
No sense being sore on rear AND front concurrently.
My oncologist gave his blessing--pretty sure this cancer is gone.

Re: It's always something . . .
Good luck.
Hubby had that done on his cervical spine last year and it was a game changer for him.
Hope you get good results as well.

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Re: It's always something . . .
Not surprisingly, the hospital wants me to bring my own cpap machine.
Of course, I prefer to use my own.
