The Kitchen Table

DS had his second MRI on his hip and got the results today.

11 years ago

They did an MRI specifically geared toward avascular necrosis. And it appears that he doesn't have it!

Thank goodness. But the ball that fits into the hip socket has a bump on it, and a torn labrum. So he will be having surgery to shave off the bump and look at the labrum. he is nervous about telling them at work tomorrow since he's been ther only 3 weeks. But it's something that he has to have done now as he will soon be off of our insurance. Thank goodness it's not avn! phew!

Hi Everyone. I had a long day yesterday, so today my body must have needed sleep and rest because I slept most of the day! I spoke to Mayo Dept. of Neurology and they were absolutely awesome. They advised me to get my films, medical records, hearing tests, etc. to them, I sent them out yesterday. Dr. Link (Mayo Neurologist) will read them and then I will get appointment to see him. I told his secretary, if surgery is ncessary I want it done then I don't want to come back for it. I feel confident and strong and I know that I am bathed in prayer and in the Lord's hands! Oh by the way, got MRI results, the "CoCo" has not spread to the brain. Thank You God for answered prayer!!!! I went out an got me Reader Digests Book of Jokes, Poetry Book, and People Mag. I have been trying to lose weight but maybe the side affect of chemo will get me "skinny" AGAIN, LOL And I am definitely going to try marijuana (POT) I was the one who watched every body else get HI, than I would watch them act silly and bump into things and laugh uproariously at nothing. I think I am old enough to give it a try LOL It looked like a lot of fun bAck then, but I was a Catholic School Girl and I didn't want to make a bad confession. Because I would have surely F I B B E D! Now to find a Dealer!!!! :)

Glenda, steroid shots are a "fix," not a cure. Nothing is. I have had them twice. in my spine.. one month apart back in 2006. Haven't needed any since then, but they did not "cure" me of all of my spinal problems, but were a great relief for that situation. And In my opinion, age has nothing to do with it. I was 82 at the time. That shoulder pain won't go away, or it would have gone away by now, not just gotten worse. The numbing "shot":is no more than a pin prick. After that you will be relaxed and glad that you did it. You may feel a little light-headed when it is over; that is very temporary, if at all. Because my first shot was for my right leg, I had to have some one to drive me home. Second shot was for my left leg, I drove myself home. Since this is your shoulder, I would think it best to have someone drive you home. If you don't have it done, you will probably wish that you did, because it obviously won't get better on its own.

DS's Test results

I feel so bad for your DS Tami. My DD has always been a great student,did well in college and is an excellent writer. Today she is an accountant and an excellent one. However she always did poorly on written tests. She could do a great report or essay but froze on written tests. Only her high grades in the classroom got her into the University. Her SATs were mediocre even though she knew the material. She also froze on her CPA test. A few years back she had to take tax certification tests so she could add certified tax preparer to her business card. She was so proud that she passed them. Gave her a bit more confidence and now she says when life is less busy she may go back and try to test for her CPA again. DS on the other hand was a "horrible" student,rarely studied or did homework, hates to write but could ace just about any test you throw in front of him. Doesn't matter if it's an academic test or one dealing with life skills. Go figure. I wish schools and businesses would get a clue that people have different learning styles and put more stress on how one applies their knowledge and skills rather than how well they can fill in bubbles on a piece of paper.

I'm glad to hear it's not too serious, and that although it must be painful it's fixable.

Yes, fixable and hopefully something to put behind him. I hope his employers can spare him for a while. Ryan is young, he'll heal quickly.

Most places are pretty nice about empoyees needing medical attention, and more than likely his will be too. I'm so relieved it's not the condition you told us about. Let's hope the surgery and recovery are successful. Thanks for letting us know; I was wondering and thought maybe I'd missed the news.
