So michelle is trying to get in shape for the wedding. good. she was working out on friday and hurt her neck a little bit. no big deal. saturday she almost couldn't get out of bed, but did. she's a trooper. by sat night (Kenny Wayne Shepard concert on square for $8) she is in big pain, but goes with me anyway. Doesn't sleep a wink Sat night. 4 AM I wake up and she is crying and can't spit out what's up, but we're going to the ER. I got her some hydrocodone and it didn't touch it. We get there and her left arm is going numb by this time. They give her an antiinflamatory, some valium and some oxycodone. I can't drive her, so she drives home with valium in her system at 5 AM and somehow doesn't get stopped. she's fuggin looped the last 3 blocks. I was sweating bullets. she gets about 2 hours of sleep before she wakes up again in major pain. I wait on her hand and foot all day while she medicates. It still doesn't knock the pain down. We had an MRI on sunday, and hoped to get it read MON.
Yesterday comes, and I'm stuck at work for 12+ hours. I get a call mid afternoon that her dad is taking her to the city to a doctor. its too bad to stand and her whole left arm is numb, aching and she can't move it. Last night when I got off we headed up. the neurologist was cool enough to stick around to look at the MRI images at 8 PM when I got there with them. She has a ruptured disc between 4 and 5, 4 and 5 are fused and it is putting a bunch of pressure on 6, which is where her nerves for the left arm are. its also what has been causing tremendous pain (pinched nerves). A surgery is set up for thursday, but remember that she can't leave the hospital, I can't drive and she has a 7 YO daughter to get to and from school, babysit and whatnot. I leave for work at 5:15 in the morning and get off at 5:30 or so. I still haven't gotten a ride to her house yet. Luckily we both have (mostly me) good families. My mom takes care of her daughter a lot and my sister. Her family can kind of be selfish.
anyhoo, the surgery is to break 4 and 5 apart, take out the ruptured disc, use cadaver bone bits to put back, put in an artificial disc, screws, plate and a neck collar for 6 weeks. So much for fitting into her wedding dress. the collar will come off (best case) a few days before the wedding. This is a shitty deal. I can't drive and she can't really either now. How does a wedding get planned that way. Not to mention I haven't had sex in 5 days and it looks like another couple weeks before I will get to look at it. I guess that's one way of abstinence before marriage
Maybe I'll fall off the wagon all the way again.
Also I got in a fight friday night, the guy went to the cop shop with loose teeth and a messed up face and mike and I went back to the bar. shouldn't have hit the owner, huh
I just hope my PO doesn't find out. I did get my info taken by the cops. :-\
so hows things going for you
