Our Day

Been gone all day until moments ago because I along with Scott were doing things for my elderly Mom after we had our doctor appointment deals this morning. Scott has been determined to be fine and normal despite the fact that I am his father.

While I am certainly NOT any better, I am not measurably worse either regarding my various conditions. He is most concerned about the stress I am under as well as my worsening mobility and pain issues. he would like me to see a pain management specialist. My doc wants me to discuss with a specialist the idea of the surgical implantation deal where they insert the little box and hook it up to the nerves to provide a steady current to stimulate the nerves and cut the pain.

The idea of having anything surgical done to me is not really something I am on board with for a variety of reasons including the down time. I am the sole driving support here and we have no one we can ask or rely on to help. Heaven help me if I fall and break something as I don't know what we will do then.
