Topic: RE: Weighin' In...
Congrats & Whoo Hoo on being able to drop the pounds in the 120's!!! At 5'4", you must look fantastic! From earlier pics it was evident that you probably won't need any PS, which is great! You must be very happy... Keep those size -0- ... You'll be in them again soon!
It's so great to know that Lbs can still be lost this far out post-op.

Topic: RE: Update. Sorry it has been so long
Maghan, I have read several of your posts over the months and never really understood just how much stress and strain is in your life. I don't really understand all of the medical lingo, but this sounds pretty serious and I do wish you relief SOON. It would be great to avoid surgery too!
Best wishes for best results and freedom from pain for you...

As of right now the shots are not doing anything. They put me on a muscle stimulator Thursday which helped with some pain, but as soon as I took it off the pain all came back. If the next 2 shots do not work I will have to have back surgery. Butt up in the air! Icky. They will take out the discs that are pushing on my nerves and that will be it. I really don't want to do that so I am hoping that soon the shot will kick in.

Wow, I would say that you have a very good excuse for not being here.
This sounds very painful and so sorry that you have to go through this. The shots will help with the pain, but what about fixing it? How will this be done? I would hate to think of this as permanent for you?

Topic: Update. Sorry it has been so long
Ok everybody. I have not been communicating on here like I should be, however I was working way more than I should have been and am now paying for it (not that that should be an excuse).
Anyway, I was getting ready for a surgery bent down to get some instruments and when I got up there was a pop in my back. It didn't hurt, just a quick little thing. That afternoon I started to have quite a bit of pain. I went to pysical therapy thinking maybe it was just muscular and they could get it to stop. I was wrong. I went to the chiropracter after that, things got worse. I then went to a spine specialist who did an MRI. They found a free fragment at T11-12 and tears in L 4-5- and S1. He then sent me to a neuro surgeon. The surgeon checked everything out and was concerned about my reflexes, so I got to have another MRI to check my brain, cervical, and thoracic areas of my body. He found a disc herniation at T 4-5. Great. So he told me to go to therapy and go get a series of thre epidural shots. He also was sending me to a neurologist to make sure that I don't have MS beings that my body is acting like it does.
I got my first epidurl Tuesday. Took four tries. I have arthritis in my back and am constant spasm.
That is it for now. The epidural is not taking the pain away but maybe after the next one it will be good.
Hope you are all doing well!

Another oddity is that it is showing that everybody on that list has updated their profiles this year...are there any others who have updated their profiles and aren't listed?

Thinking of you today and hoping the CT scan went well. Bet you are glad the prep 
is behind you. (oh, bad pun sorry)
It was a pretty good day at work and then I did yardwork when I got home and should have read your posts before reading some poison e-mail from a former coworker. She got me so bummed but thank goodness there were your nice posts to read and your friendly face to see. Thank you and big hugs just for being there and for being you.
