My Spine

This is my MRI. It's kinda freaky to actually see my spine! I just found out that I'm probably going to have surgery on it. It's been hurting since December 15th, 2005. I got really drunk in San Francisco, and ran as fast as I could down the hills to catch the BART that stops running, at like 12:30 am on the weekends. I woke up the next morning and could barely move. Sadly, we didn't even catch the BART, we wandered around for hours looking for the TransBay bus, gave up and tried to wait it out at a Denny's until the 5am BART started running again. Gave up on that around 3am when I started to get nauseous and caught a $40 cab ride home again. Never Again I tells ya.

 

As odd as it may sound, I'm really excited to have the surgery. I haven't been able to do...well much of anything for the last 9 months, including getting out and taking pictures. I've had anti-inflammatory, steroids, x-rays, MRI's, physical therapy, and nothing has helped. So I can't WAIT!!!! I've never been to a hospital, much less had a surgery, so I'm kinda scared, but I don't really care anymore, I just want to get back to my normal life. Doc said that I won't be running any marathons, but atleast I'll be able walk, sit, and ride in a car again. This has NOT been fun. But we're working on the solution, and should have it fixed in a couple of weeks.
