Sandi had another therapy appointment today with the
physical therapist and the news was not good at all. The therapist has now stopped all therapy at
this point because he believes it is doing absolutely zero good for her.
Nothing at all has changed for the better. She remains in nearly constant pain
except for the occasional periods of numbness that seem to be happening from
time to time. She is still experiencing swelling at odd intervals that, so far,
none of us have been able to relate to anything.
Going forward the therapist believes that both feet
need to be fully booted as soon as possible, not just her right, and that she
needs an MRI to determine the extent of the injuries and damage in both feet
and both. He is going to stress all of this in his report for the foot doctor.
Sandi is supposed to see the foot doctor Friday morning. She is also supposed to have her PET SCAN and
blood work on Monday to determine if she is still in remission.
How long they have to wait after her PET SCAN to do
an MRI I have no idea, but I would think there has to be some time because they
use some sort of dye deal with the PET SCAN. Seems to me they would need that to
flush out of her system before they could do an MRI.
Obviously,
things could easily be worse and we know that. But, not knowing exactly what is
wrong and if it can be fixed is frustrating her quite a bit. You would think
after all we have gone through over me the last two plus years, and everything
with her as well from heart attacks and strokes to cancer, she could catch a
break on this.
