Hello
everyone, been absent the last few days been one thing or another,
like yesterday after taking Leo to school I went to the doctors to
get the results of my CT scan that was done on my lower back turns
out I have multi-level spondylotic disease which is relatively more
marked at the L4L5 which is causing moderate central canal stenosis.
What
that means I have no idea I have Googled it and printed out some
information about it which I am yet to read, however, what I do know
is that these problems are from bulging discs and posterior element
degeneration. This means my back pain will just over time get more
and more and I am going to end up like my mother who has serious back
pain that is getting more and more server over time.
Then
when I got home I spent time reading blogs and did a couple loads of
washing and hang it out to dry, then I had to go and get Leo from
school and when I got home at 3.30pm I had to get the clothes off the
line and then just didn't feel like doing anything so I didn't.
Also
yesterday we had the ceiling fan in the bedroom replaced as it was
tripping the circuit breaker for the lights, we have ceiling fans in
each of the bedrooms as ell as in the lounge room. The fan cost $60
to buy and $80 to have installed which is pretty good.
This
morning when I woke up at 6am to go to the loo my head felt so heavy
on my shoulders and I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I went back to
bed till Leo got here and came in to wake me up, this morning I was
busy reading blogs and ironing. I have to iron sitting down now as I
am unable to stand for more then maybe 5 minutes without pain.
Also
when I got up this morning I found Natasha busy washing my kitchen
cupboards she cleaned out all the top cupboards and washed them and
was 99% done when she gets a phone call and had to rush in to have a
shower and then leave for work. So I ended up finishing off the bench
and washing the filter from the range hood over the stove.
Also
Kathy-Lee and Summer came over for a while and while here she asked
Tim and changing the oil in her car and she mentioned that the oil
light had been coming on the last couple of days so we asked her when
she lasted checked the oil and she didn't remember so Tim went out
and checked it and the dipstick was clean no oil showed up on it, so
Tim went and found some oil and put it in her car for her, I told her
she was lucky she hadn't seize the motor.
Blain
should be home sometime this afternoon, in fact I just said to Tim
that I thought Natasha said he would be home around 11.30 this
morning but it is now 1.40pm and he still isn't home, I will be
leaving in 20 minutes to go get Leo. Yes I leave early to get him but
I enjoy sitting in the car and reading while I wait for him, in fact
if I leave later I often find it difficult to get a parking spot
although it is easier to find somewhere to park at Leo's school
compared to Blain's school.
That's
all my news for now, I should be back tomorrow with some kind of
other post, until then my friends stay happy and safe.
It means that you backbone is rotting.
ReplyDeleteJoin the club - I have it on the left side laterals - now hanging by a thread due to polio at the age of 2 years, got over that and then intensive sporting activities.
You have to be so careful. The older you get you, the chance of a corrective operation is more remote - my chances are 90% wheelchair.
Nice thought to ponder, eh?
Solution be careful with bending and lifting,
get the boys to do the jobs.

Spelling - not "you backbone" should read YOUR BACKBONE.
DeleteOh yeah the joys of getting older
DeleteTake care of your back. Backs are a big problem.
ReplyDeleteSounds as if you are kept busy..
Yes they can be I need to get back into walking this last week I have been far too lazy not wanting to get up of a morning
DeleteThat means time to slow down and take thing easy. Don't over strain your back. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIf only I could slow down I am always busy well it feels that way at times
DeleteSorry to hear about your back but just as the others have said, it is time to take it easy. You will have to let us know in a future post what the doctor says about what can be done for it. Surgery? Physical Therapy?
ReplyDeleteThat was nice of your daughter to help clean the cabinets. That is a chore I hate.
Thank goodness Kathy-Lee has Tim around to help with her car. NO OIL..Yikes, that could of ended badly.
Yeah no oil doesn't end well, she knows how to check it she just doesn't think about it which is a bit of a worry.
DeleteYeah I am not a big take everything out of the cupboards and clean the type of person, Natasha however, is.
Sorry to hear the news about your back. I hope the docs will soon figure out a way to fix it so you don't have pain. Hugs. Hope you feel better tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI will let everyone know how the injection goes, and if it does any good
DeleteI found your blog through Alycia's. I'm so sorry you're going through what you're going through!! That sounds terrible! I hope there is something you can do to relieve a little pain??
ReplyDeleteI am hoping the injection I have to have in it will help, I will let all know how it goes after I have it done
