The Dr. didn't raelly have any answers because for some reason the hospital didn't sent her a copy of the test.                            I go to the Nuerosurgon on August 6 to see what the results are.

Went to the Neurosurgeon today for my test results. I have to have surgery on my L4-5. They are doing a Right Microhemilumbar Laminectomy and Diskectomy. I don't have a surgery date yet, but the said once I have surgery it will take 6-8 weeks for recovery. This surgery is mostly to help with the numbness & tingeling sensation I'm haveing.  The back pain they are going to work on after with P.T.  while I'm healing.

Prayers and good thoughts are being sent your way for your upcoming surgery.

Hugs and love to you as always m'lady.

Well I got a call from the Dr's Finacing Department .
They told me how much I was estimated at owing them for the Dr and the surgery. (around $1,600)
Then they referred me to a care credit place to get help to pay the bill since I haven't worked since 6/20/09 & haven't received a disability check from my company since 7/27/09. I have no money coming in and have to keep dipping in my savings so I can even make my car payments. Well the place said they couldn't help because they due a 12 month payment plan with no intrest that would cost me about $140 or a 48 month payment $50 plus 13.8% intrest. I'm not eligible for most medical help plans because I earned to much money this year already. I already owe around $1,600 not including the last 2 test I had to have run on me last month to help figure out what is wrong with my spine. The sad thing is I think I gave most of the money I earned this year back to the medical community one way or another, with fees for forms to be filled out, meds to try to help with pain control plus other items I have to get without the help of insurance. I know everyone is having a rough time with the economy but I really don't think I can physically handle very much more. Even if or when I go back to work they are still gonna cut my hours like they did before I went on medical leave. 18 - 25 hours a week is hard to pay the bills on. I also know I should be thankful I have a job willing to hold my place and all but I think I have had my fair share of crappy days. Between surgery last year to take my gallbladder out and my ankle problems that I have learn to just suck it up , but I don't want to any more.
I hate feeling useless & crippled. I just want to wake up one day and find out this is just a very bad dream I was having.

Dr's office called to give me my surgery date.
  Sept.2
That is so gonna mess up doing ORF this season. I've gotta call the person I'm working for to see if I can at least make them some jewelry to help with their stock.
  I'm still going to try to come out and play for a little bit some time if the parents let me since I can't drive right now.

What is the procedure you are having done to your back if you don't mind me asking?

[WindChime]

I'm having a L4-5 Microhemilumbar Laminectomy & Diskectomy. I have no idea what all that means. All I know is that I will be knocked out for them to do it.

  Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers during this time.

I brought WindChime home from her surgery about 3:30 this afternoon.  Doctors feel all went well.
She is resting and mostly sleeping now.  We are  hoping tomorrow will show signs of improvement.

Thanks for the update Sir Jim & Lady Helen. Please let WindChime know she's in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad to hear that WindChime's surgery was such a success the other day. Thanks for the update Sir Jim & Lady Helen and please let her know that she is still in my thoughts and prayers as well.

Hey everyone!
  I'm alive, Extremely sore but alive. I want to thank every one for there hugs and well wishes. My back is still sore but not as bad as before, my legs are another story. They both still hurt and have the pin and needles feeling in both thights. The right hip mores then before but hopefully that will go away soon. I'm really bored sitting at home, the only real time I leave is to go to the Doctor which isn't even untill the 21st. I still hope to make it out to ORF for the R/F invasion but as it looks so far it will probally only be for 1 of the days. I get tired doing some of the littlest things like walking.
    Again Thanks for all of the well wishes.
