Mom health

Hello everyone-
Just wanted to keep everyone in the loop. So, first the background info. I went to the hospital on Monday with severe pain and at that point, was unable to move either leg. I could stand, but not walk or even roll over in bed. They did an MRI and determined that it wasn't a herniated disk, and I did not need surgery. They sent me home with vicadin and some anti-inflamatory (maybe it was just a placebo?)

I went to see Dr. Gatto today. He did some more blood work and has switched me to Percocet and prednisone. (next level up for pain killer and anti-inflammatory) He is going to be running some blood tests to see if it is either "polymyalgia rhuematica" or "hypothyroidism" I guess if it's either of those two, I should be feeling better by mid-day tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll have to go back and have more tests run.

I am currently living on the sofa. But, other than a really horrible taste in my mouth (and extreme pain) I'm doing fine. Neither of the two possible diagnoses are life threatening or untreatable, so the plan to be up and kicking Jos' butt on Dance Dance Revolution is still on.
