Just here for a brief moment to thank you so much for the kind comments. I ask my hubby to post for me as I’ve not been up for being on. I am still alive… but not yet well, still look like the leaning tower of Pisa - maybe not as bad as the photo as I’m taking some muscle relaxers and had some shot. So far, the only news I rec’d is from my xray - which was I have arthritis of the spine. Joy… I’m only 30. My MRI is in the morning and hopefully the results from it will give me some answers, quickly - about what is going on. I’ll update, soon, I hope… or my sweetie will. xoxo

Hello. I am filling in for my wife. Sorry, no site of the day this week. Also, new people within the past week have not yet been added. They will be added and announced hopefully by next Saturday. No photo from TNChick this week due to medical issues. She will likely be off line for a few. She has a MRI at the hospital on Monday. She wanted me to let you know. The photo hunt will continue, it will just be with out her this week. Thanks for your understanding.

Mr. TNChick

Friday evening update: As of last night her body shifted and she can not “get straight”. Her sister in law took her back to the doctor today and they gave her a shot, in addition to a muscle relaxer and a higher pain killer. She was put on restriction until her MRI on Monday. She ask me to take a photo of this and show you. She said it would work for the rare theme because this is very rare (at least it is to us). She is still hurting but hopefully with the new scripts she will find relief over the weekend. She said thanks for the prayers, please keep them coming. Here is the photo she ask me to take of her tonight. She is not attempting to look this way, it just happened and is how she looks and walks. I hope I can get it to upload, I’m not experienced in this blog stuff. She said no laughing.

The cameras we have these days are amazing. We have the surveillance cameras, the compact digital cameras, underwater cameras, infrared and night vision cameras and not to forget your personal movie camera. The brands are also many with strong and weak points. When you go in camera shop it becomes difficult to choose from those Sanyo, Nikons, Canons and Minolta digital cameras. If confused do ask the savvy shop attendant about your needs and you may get them satisfied.

about what is going on with me. I saw my doctor again today - for a follow-up. The pain meds was not giving me any relief during my times of pain.

Saturday it was pelvic area pain with a couple of lower back and lower ab area shooting pains…. I immediately went to the doc and he immediately thought it was a kidney stone. Advised drink, drink, drink. I drank 3 liters of water Saturday afternoon. Eek.

Sunday, didn’t have any major pain other than some sharp shooting pains, still in the pelvic region. I drank 2.5 more liters of water.

Monday, I called to make the follow-up appointment for today… No more pelvic pains. I was having serious back issues, really lower back, like on top of the tail bone. Twice, I couldn’t get out of my chair and had to go to my knees, crawl, then stand. Yeah, I felt stupid but had no choice. I drank 3 more liters of water.

Wow, that means as of this moment I’ve drank 9 liters of water since 1pm Saturday. Woah. I’ve never in my life drank so much water. I wanted to “flush” that stone out - or whatever… so made every effort to drink as much water as I could.

Today when I was at the doc - he said the area of pain seems much to low for stones… and if my pelvic pain is gone, I likely passed the stone. I have no idea.

Tomorrow AM I go in for xrays of my pelvic area and my lower spine/back. The xray folks had already left for the day, today. Tomorrow, If the xrays don’t give me any information - I must undergo an internal ultrasound, he said, because it may be an ovarian cyst. Ugh. I gave another urine sample today and he said everything was good - but I did have a slightly high white blood cell count and that usually means infection. He said he didn’t think I had an infection tho… but would send it off anyway to be sure - will take a couple of days to hear back.

So… I still don’t know what is going on, what was going on, or what will go on. I do know my lower back hurts so bad at times I can’t move. I didn’t have this over this weekend - so not sure if it’s related to the OMGosh-I-think-I’m-dying-Saturday-morning-rush-to-the-doctor deal.

Prayers much appreciated. Unknowing stinks and I am anti needle, anti doctor, anti everything pain related and dread going through whatever I may have to go through. Makes me nervous.

The good news I did hear - He told me to go have myself a DP - so that is what I did - went straight to Sonic when I left his office. =) Mm, it was delish. LOL I hadn’t had but like 3 sips of a Dr Pepper in 3 long days. Talk about headaches. Ugh.

Well, that’s it…

Woke up in major pain Saturday AM. I called my hubby at 7:30a, told him I thought I was dying. While it seems funny, it sure wasn’t at the time. I had pain meds from the dentist so I took a lortab and it did nothing for me. My mom said go to the doc ASAP so, we quickly went to the doc… he thinks I have a kidney stone(s). Pray for me?

I’ve drank like 7 bottles of water yesterday (about 3 liters) and am on my 2nd one for today… and no DP (wow)… he directed me to drink as much as possible. A beer a day is suppose to help, they say… I drank half of one last night - YUCK. I can’t stand beer (not sure how I ever drank it when I was younger, eww). I’m not in pain at the moment but it comes and goes. Never had anything like this before - don’t know a lot about it. Actually, I’ve never had anything wrong with me, really… I think he wants me to “pass” the stone… if it doesn’t pass he’ll do a scan on me and go from there. He wrote me a RX for some pain meds to get me thru this weekend. I have no idea what to expect.
