It's been a long time since my last post. I have a couple of bulged discs between my shoulder blades and it has caused some extreme pain in my right arm. Anything between my shoulder hurting, to tennis elbow, to a deep pain in my triceps has been challenging to do much. I have been on a steady diet of muscle relaxants, Lortabs, bone cracking, massages, and strengthening exercises to get this thing to go away. Still no luck. Today though I wanted to catch up.
Cheryl, Paige, and I have been busy. We went on a long road trip to see Eric and Michelle get married, Chris graduate, and to see some long time friends who feel like family to us. Thank you all for your hospitality. I have played some golf with good friends and it seems my game is the same whether I am under treatment or not. I am not sure how to take that, but my friends didn't laugh at me to much, although I think I gave them lots of opportunity's. I even snuck in a boys nite out camping, horseshoes, and a little ATV action. There is nothing like good campfire food and talk to make you feel better. I am looking forward to having my brother and nephew out to visit when my whole family goes to Yellowstone over the 4th of July holiday. I can't wait for the laughs and good times.
The treatment is going pretty normal. The side effects are still fairly predictable and that has made life easier. The shooting pain of the healing of the fingers and feet has been really painful when they happen, but the electricity storm doesn't usually last to long though. Short pulses get me going, but I don't see them ending anytime soon. At best I still have only partial feeling in my feet and finger tips. I am trying to get the phone number of the guy who talked with me about radio wave therapy to get more info on that and pursue that avenue. I just don't really want to lose this battle. Got to try.
Thanks for reading and caring, talk to you later.
Hey Jeff! So glad to hear from you again! We miss your updates as you are always on our minds! Glad that you are enjoying camping, etc. Have a blast with your family in Yellowstone. We hope you get the number so that you can pursue that radio wave therapy. You can't give up, and the "battle" doesn't know who its up against! Love ya! Eileen and Kevin
