Medical Up-date

I had my MRI Wednesday afternoon, and the Spinal Tap will be on Friday.

I have contacted a lawyer to begin the process of getting social security disability (it’s an absolute must at this point), as well as a possible medical mal-practice case against the original infectious disease doc.

I'm not worried about the actual procedure, but I pray that my spinal MRI will be enough of a diagnostic for disability. I pray that the Lyme (and possibly any other tick-borne diseases) show up in the tap to confirm what we already know to be true.

The MRI went well. We could get the results as early as Monday (they said figure sometime between Monday & Wednesday). All I can do is pray that we can use my screwed up spine as a reason for disability.

As for the tap...All I can do is pray for strength, endurance, and REALLY good drugs ;)
