Goofed 2!

Or did he?
I have no idea, but this time I am referring to the doctor's interpretation of my brain MRI, you judge, like me as other laymen may have it all wrong, but I am not so sure and neither was Hubby.
Fourth sentence in the brain MRI Image Findings, "Several of the lesions appear slightly larger on today's exam and there may be a couple of new lesions since the previous study." Comparison of brain 2-22-13. Over a year ago from this one dated 5-6-14.


He had stated there were NO new lesions and it showed that my MS was stable, perhaps it is, but I'm no doctor and that sentence above makes me wonder. I need to have it explained in terms my wee brain will understand, ya know?
I did call this morning as I said I would, and it was forty minutes after their office opened at 9:40 A.M. and I spoke with Rhona and she said that Cheryl would speak with the doctor and get back to me, but left the when open. I suppose with it being a holiday weekend I will have a very long wait. I had also asked my other questions about my three areas, yep I was wrong, not just my cervical and thoracic regions, but my lumbar area of the spine also has stenosis. I did Google it myself to try to figure out what to do and found out that Pilates can be helpful, but in my severe case (people with stenosis) must be monitored by a doctor or physical therapist. And that was my other questions, now what, and medicine wise, more or other, less doesn't seem to be relevant to my particular case?

I could be wrong, I've been wrong before.

All I know is that like most with any chronic illness; I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!
You all get that; I am more than sure, and thanks for that!

Hubby went out this morning to pick up food items for the weekend before it gets crazy, we are hunkering down right here. I stayed home to hopefully hear back from the doctor's office, but nope, nothing, still waiting, they're more than likely gone for their long weekend...OF COURSE!
Geez, and then people wonder why so many of us with physical illness get a bit crazy!
I am, or I should say I'm not the only impatient patient on this planet? That seems highly unlikely, truly!

Any-who, having this time to chat with all of you does help the time pass a bit quicker so allow me now to be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
