Returned from Texas last Monday after celebrating one grand daughter's 21st birthday and my 18 year old grand daughter's graduation. We had some scary news the day we arrived. My 18 year old grand daughter collapsed in school day before we arrived. Was rushed to ER, doctor ordered blood work and she had two pulmonary embolisms! She was transferred to hospital in Ft. Worth into ICU and had to have two stents inserted to dissolve the clots. She remained in ICU until Thursday and either my son or daughter in law stayed with here. She was released late Thursday after ultrasound to be sure clots were broken up, and returned to doctor early on Friday and he cleared her to attend graduation. Very scary stuff. She will be on blood thinners for next 3 months.
So trip was very nice after that excitement.
Onto my MRI, had that last Thursday for my back. Yesterday met with spine doctor to go over results. Spinal stenosis which very common for someone my age given line of work I've been in for many years. I am going to pain clinic there for some shots in my back and that relief should last about 3 months, certainly hope so, some days I'm pain free and others not so much. However, he said radiologist saw small fracture in my pelvis. And they want MRI now of pelvis next week. Good luck getting my insurance to approve that they gave the doctor's office hard time for the one I had last week! But we will see, have no clue how I could have fracture in pelvis, certainly couldn't be from original fall that cracked my hip????
I'm so impressed with Brigham. You have appt you go right in, see doctor and away you go, same with Xray and MRI, they are right on the ball. My hip feels great once I get rid of the back pain I'll be my old self again, note the term "old." LOL!
we will travel late July into August for two weeks and sure would like to be pain free.
