Only one test
Well tomorrow I go for more tests, a bone scan with dye and a bone density test. I made it through the MRI'S on Monday. It was very painful to lay there, but I held my breath and made it through.
The pain has not let up and I fell twice yesterday, once going down the basement steps and once on my outside steps. This just added some new bruises to my elbows and knees. My leg just gave out both times.
I have been trying to stay busy and keep my mind off things by staying busy with my support group and the NONF. I have had to take more breakthrough pain medicine lately and I don't like to do that. I try to take as little as possible, but that is just not the case right now.
Hopefully I will be able to tell you the results of all my tests in the next couple of days and they will be able to ease my pain some.
Again if anyone has any question feel free to ask. I would love to talk to you.
