Pain clinic

Today I saw my doc at the pain clinic. I am  concerned about my worsening symptoms
 tingling, dropping things, weakness in my hands, dexterity issues, losing feeling in my finger tips. He is more concerned than me. 


He poked me with the pin. (They all poke me with pins.)
tested my strength in my hands and arms.
Sat and chatted. 


He scheduled am MRI for Friday, At least I can have the MRI close to home.
This way I get the nice MRI guy, Steve, he knows me well after all these years.
and a visit to a neurosurgeon in a few weeks back in LaCrosse.
I don't like that.


I told Michael, 
(and pretty sure he knows this about me since I have been seeing him for 4 years now.)
The thought of spine surgery scares the crap out of me.
But I also know there will come a time when putting off surgery will no longer be an option for me.
I am praying the issues with my neck have not gotten worse and its just nerve issues...oh wait - then I might have to have an EMG...dislike those!


On a lighter note, we went to Rudy's for onion rings . Yum :)
Then Target, got nothing exciting there.
And a few groceries on the way home.
