Surgeon check in

I’m almost 2 weeks out from surgery. This morning Glen and I met with the surgeon. He is pleased with everything. Importantly, it appears as though this procedure has eliminated my leg and hip pain! I can start moving around a bit more, but no Cross Fit, per the surgeon. 😀 The tumors were sent off to pathology, there were no results as of this morning.

About a week ago I started to get a pain in my upper back / neck and it’s gotten progressively worse. So much so that I ended up going to the Emergency Room on the advice of my nurse navigator.

The good news is that anything life threatening was ruled out: heart is fine and there are no blood clots. Also good is that mornings are least painful and sometimes I can control it with medications (muscle relaxer and oxycodone).

It’s not clear what is causing the pain and all the medical professionals are scratching their heads a little bit. The surgeon ordered an MRI for next week and I’ll see him again in early November.

Meanwhile this weekend we had a fun weekend of mini-golf and pizza. Last weekend Maddy celebrated Homecoming. Gotta squeeze in the fun of life wherever you can.
