Tests were yesterday and needless to say they are not the nicest to go through, especially the dye
that gives you the headache.

But the doc did give me valium IM along with other drugs and cortisone so I was relaxed but it
didn't cure the pain moving around for sure.

These new mylograms are not like the older ones, these you lay on your back on a tilt table. He
numbs the back then pushes the spinal needle right in there. GOT It first try.  Could not believe
it, all I felt was pressure, then came the out with spinal fluid and in with dye.  He talked me
through it totally. WOW when the headache and out came the needle and taken boom boom boom and it
was over.

I have a big old rupture and for the life of me can't remember what vertebra and he is seeing me
tues in office.  I then had the ct done and there you had to roll on a cart, and believe me them
carts are made for 90 pound people.  That was the worse, belly to back then back to belly and done
twice, into the machine 2 minutes pics scanned and out of there into a room. Shot for pain and home
by 1:15.  so bed time then.  sun glasses are a must for this test cause light is aweful after that
dye.

but at least we know now why I can't walk, or set long.
So thanks for the prayers and please keep them up. I am looking to have something done and bet it
wlill be surgery

thanks again
