It is such a joy for me to see the kids enjoy each others company. It gives me so much happiness to see them together!
While they are out enjoying the evening, I am making my husband a nice dinner. He deserves some good food after all of the doctor appointments that I have put him through the last few days.
This afternoon I went to the pain clinic for a follow up. They asked me to rate my pain. I was able to say "0"! The doctor was extremely happy that the medicine combination that he has me on is working. He said to leave everything as it is until after my surgery. We'll then get a MRI of my spine to figure that out and hopefully fix it. I certainly don't want to stay on the medicine for any longer than I need to... but at the same time, I don't want to mess with a good thing. After the surgery, we can figure all of that out. Until then, he suggested that I tell UVA what he has me on so that they can adjust their pain plan with his. It touched me very much that the pain clinic doctor gave me a hug, wishing me the best of luck with the surgery. I know that he really cares about how I feel and the outcome of everything. I'm so lucky to have doctors that have such hearts!
