So i havent posted anything worth reading in a while.I am glad of the response to my last post about what makes people post.
I thought that i was the only one who thought that way.
Things have been a little weird for me of late.I think my head is still trying to get around the fact that,the little ball of barbed wire that is the base of my spinal column, is gonna be there for another 5 months
But I guess thats just something that i have to face.I am meeting with hed registrar who is also the head neurosurgeon and the guy who will be doing my op,on Dec 3rd in the hope of getting an earlier date.But we shall see.
Everything that i am eating these days seems to be tasting a little strange - now i know i am not the world best chef - but i know my way around a kitchen mind you.I have just gotten over - fingers crossed - a really badass dose of sinusitus over the last 2 weeks - so i am sure that hasnt helped - but its more than that - coffee tastes different,so does tea,and its all a little strange.i am beginning to wonder if it is not the dose of tabs that i am on at the moment.The gabapentin - they come in cards of 10,and i go through about 70 a month,every month.But maybe its this card of tabs.I have 5 more to go on this card - but i cannot afford to go to the next card,as i didnt get enough on the script.
So,we shall see what happens there.
Its strange - there are days where i have nothing that i wish to say - and then there are others where i have so much to say,and i dont know where to start - but i guess i need to get into the swing of things again.No point storing it all up
That not a healthy thing to do,now is it?

Yeah the odd taste may be because of the meds.. I find things taste different even if I'm on antibiotics for 3 days! What does that little wire there do? Does that mean you don't need that surgery that was supposed to be very dangerous? And I know this may be silly.. but maybe you can consider some alternative medicine..? Atleast they will have lesser side effects.. -

Its definitely the meds..... now as far as you talking?? well of course..As the old saying goies you don't eat you don't shit, you don't shit ya die! you can actually get posioning from not ridding yourself of stuff! (LOL)I hope this meeting the the head doctor settles a lot of your questions, including the time frames of how this is all going to happen - don't forget to ask him to go on a waiting list if you can manage that with your work. -

Hello DD - I think it may be a combo of the meds and my recent dose of sinusitus that i have had.the op that I need to have done is to in tether the base of my spinal column as it is attached to scar tissue at the base if my spine.if the op goes wrong,i may lose the ability to walk.There are some days where it feels like Edward Scissorhands is playing the piano on the inside of my spine and it hurts like shit.
Hi Lucy - I know what you mean about talking,but the jury is still out as to whether I am doing it for me,or not.Sometimes it helps,other times it just intensifies the situationa dn makes it worse.I hop the head reg' sorts something out too.I wont need to go onto a waiting list for this kind of op,as I am the only patient in the entire clinic who suffers with this condition.I have been the only patient in the hospital with this condition for the last 2 years.the odds of someone being born with what I have is one in 250 000.Hows that for luck ??
