Hello everyone,
In my last blog I told you all about my lovely MRI and that I possibly might need surgery. Well guess what? Yep, I need surgery for my herniated disc with myelopathy on my cervical spine. My doctor took one look at my MRI and said that I have NO time to play with that I have to go in right away and get this taken care of before I completely damage my spinal cord more than I already have and become paralyzed from the neck down. I managed to talk him into giving me a few days so I can finish up some school work or at least try to finish up some school work and a few things here at home. So he scheduled me for an anterior cervical corpectomy for Wednesday, May 19th. I can honestly say that I am freaking out inside and since I have a 5 year old I am doing everything in my power to not let her see how I am feeling. Everyone tells me just to think positive and that is what I am trying to do but it is so hard especially when I know what I am going to go through and what could happen to me if anything goes wrong. I had a C-section 5 years ago and to tell you the truth I would much rather go through that even though it hurt so bad I would take that any day over what I am going to face come Wednesday. There is nothing that I can do cause it has to get done so I might as well suck it up and put on a happy face as they say.
Well, that is my story for this week. Sorry to be a bearer of bad news at least I had something to write about, right? :)
Hopefully next week I will have some good news for a change. Have a great week and until I post again! :)
Hi Cheryl, I will keep you in prayer this week and send out a request for to my prayer group. I know that it is easy for me to say, but find calmness and let your thoughts be of good things. It will be ok.
