Cindy goes in today for a trial of a spinal stimulator. Hoping to reduce the pain she has been dealing with.
Her spinal cord is in compression at L4. She has been getting random nerve impulses to her thighs which cause the muscles to cramp up.
Causing all kinds of pain and make it hard to walk.
She did find a surgeon who would like to take out the hardware from her old back surgery and extend it, effectively doubling it.
But she does not feel like she would survive that one, and if she did, would be unable to bend, twist, etc. Leaving her effectively chair bound or worse.
I tend to agree with her.
We don't know where this path is leading us, but it does not look so good down the path. Looks like we are headed into the Dismal Swamp.
And the sun is going down.
Procedure is at 1 this afternoon.
All prayers very much appreciated.
