I got the MRI back and the specialist doc says it looks like pretty much my entire left leg is inflamed from tendonitis. Nothing else showing up right now, so that's good! The mole biopsie came back fine, also. Thank you, God! That doc told me to ice the leg and then to also do leg raises to strengthen it. So, I did that and also with help of some percocet, I walked slowly on my treadmill. Then, I went out on friday to feed my fainting goats, chickens and butterball(pet turkey). When I came back in, I decided to go potty and went into the bathroom, turned around to sit down and something POPPED and shot pain down my good leg, and all the way around it. Owie! It hurt very badly. So, now I have this new problem, darn it! I can hardly stand on my left leg cuz of the knee pain and now my right leg doesn't want to work either! Anyway, everytime I stepped down on my leg, pain would pretty much just encircle my upper thigh and shoot down my leg. Well, after a couple hours of waiting for the pain to go away, I called my doc. He started me on a steroid pack and 10 mg percocet. This is double the percocet I usually take. And, WHEW, I sure can tell! Lol! He then told me that he wants me to go to Billings Montana (closest big town to us that has good docs.) He thinks I have something that causes tendonitis all over me, (can't remember what it was now cuz this stronger percocet has given me major fog! Lol!)and he thinks I might have herniated a disc that was sort of sitting tipped already. Great, huh?! Now hubby thinks I might have to get rid of all my babies(Fainting goats, chickens, and butterball, my pet turkey!) cuz I shouldn't be lifting anything or doing anything basically. According to my doc, anyway. Hubby has to work so he can't do my animals for me. This so stinks!! I know it is probably best, but I really enjoy my pets and around here, the folks that would probably take my animals would also eat them and I don't want that to happen to them! All 5 of my goats are preganant, too. Their babies are so cute every spring. The turkey,Butterball is about 40 pounds and I am sure would be very tasty if she were to be butchered! The name was just meant to be a joke, not for real. She talks to me ( Turkey talk, that is! Lol!)when I come out to feed them and she follows me all around in the pasture when I am there. The goats are soooo cute and sweet. I never would have thought goats would be so much fun, but I really love them all. The chickens, I guess I am not so much attached to, that is except the 2 banty hens...Robin and Goldy. It would just be awful if they had to be eaten! I am not a vegan, but I didn't get my babies for us to eat. Well, I guess I should not get too excited yet. Maybe things will get better, who knows with this stuff! Well, gotta go again. Hope all who reads this are having a great day!
