I did my last MRI yesterday. Due to my claustrophobia that was quite a feat! I spoke to my NS nurse today and she said the doctor will be looking over the studies and then they will let me know if he wants more (oh, please, no) or if he is ready to see me. I know my rheumatologist has been talking to him and trying to get him to work me in sooner. They made a tentative appointment for August but my rheumatologist didn't want me waiting that long. I do understand though that he couldn't tell me much without seeing new MRI studies first. So now it's a waiting game.
I had my second physical therapy session today. It is a lot harder than I remember. It has been a month since I did PT. I'm in quite a bit of pain now and had to take a pain pill when it was over. The physical therapist left me with some exercises to do on the days he doesn't come. I guess he will be coming twice a week. I'm glad it's no more often than that because I'm not sure I could handle it. The straining puts a lot of pressure on my head and makes the headache and neck pain a lot worse. I'm hoping the therapy is a good idea at all and is not making things worse. I will be seeing my rheumatologist on Tuesday and will ask him his opinion.
I'm still waiting for my power chair to arrive. That should make things a lot easier.
So.... now I wait... again....
