Results =surgery?

It's been so cold here this past week and the last 4 straight days we've had incredible wind constantly. It's had me in terrible pain. My left hip was so bad all weekend I just stayed on the couch. Had to use a cane just to get to the washroom. I felt so bad because my son just moved back home and bf had to look after everything from helping son unload his car (twice) to cooking all our meals and doing all the cleanup. Poor guy is burning out quick as he has chronic fatigue and can't handle so much. Son will be helping but you know how it is, especially with boys I find, the first few days you treat them like a guest. Girls will automatically pitch in, guess it goes to show I missed something with my boys (I blame their father for not showing the right example)  

But moving on. I saw my doctor today and got the results of my CT spect bone scan  Severe stenosis in a couple places where the lumbar and sacral spine meet up. Also further signs of continued degeneration in facets and SI joints. She has sent off a request for an MRI to get a better picture as well as a referral to a spinal surgeon as she is recommending surgery now. There was more in the results but that's what stuck with me. I talked to her about my hips too so she has ordered xray to check them out. I would have thought they'd show up on the MRI but what do I know. If my hips look ok on xray (nothing surgical required) she'll do steroid injections. I haven't tried them in about 7 years so maybe it will work better this time.

I'll be missing out on my crokinole day tomorrow but just too much pain these days. It's not worth it. I want to save my 'spoons' for the baby shower this Sunday for my niece and her new baby girl. She is such a little doll!
