I haven't done an entry since Monday. I've been in pain all week and have not been able to do it. Some days my back just spasms out of control bringing excrutiating pain. I saw a physical therapist three times this week. Yesterday I finally got a therapist that really knew what she was talking about. She taught me how to fight against the spasms, by moving into them when they occur. Gee, this makes such a huge difference when they grip me suddenly! Why didn't the other therapists show me this? So even though I hurt, those big spasms don't make me scream anymore.
What else is new? Yesterday kind of brought a surprise. Dr. Claxton's nurse called from Hershey and said that after John's biopsy slides went to cytogenetics at the Mayo Clinic, that Dr. Claxton has decided he wants to see John on Nov. 17 instead of waiting till Dec. 1. Apparently something serious was found upon analysis of the slides. Wow, I wonder what it could be? She is of course not allowed to tell us, but phoned us to come in on Nov. 17 as Dr. Claxton had asked her to. So it looks like John is on the fast track to get the transplant...
On to a much lighter note, tonight I am going to sit at the computer and attend the Vivi Awards. Later on today I will be doing an entry to show you what I am going to wear to the Vivis tonight. I can't say much, other than I will be wearing red, lol! I also need to write my speech this afternoon so I can put it in my journal tomorrow. I know it won't be an acceptance one, but that doesn't matter. I love all of you so much in J-Land and I want to thank you. I love, love, love you guys!
Okay, talk at ya'll soon. Love, Krissy :)

Krissy, I'm so sorry, I forgot to ask how you were feeling from your back when we were chatting last night. Again, you are amazing in that you didn't mention how you were feeling; just your concern over John.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a therapist that worked for you and gave you practical steps on how to reduce the spasms.
I'm sure you look smashing in red!
betty
I'm glad the new technique(?) for controlling your pain is working. Ya know, I would personally scare away the pain for you if I could, Krissy. I would grab those spasms and swat them away... shooo, shooo, go away pain!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your Vivi apparel in your next entry. I'm off now to get a manicure and have my hair done for the celebration.
Best to you and John,
Judith

Gentle hugs to you and John!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the awards tonight!!

Hope all goes well at the doc appt.
ReplyDeleteHope your back spasms will not be extended too long. The medication I take daily keeps me just sedated enough that my back does not become severly tense and painful. John's appointment being moved up must be giving you both reason for apprehension. May the upcoming transplant be successful and elimate the cancer. mark
ReplyDeletePrayers are being said for the both of you. Good luck tonight!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have my prayers Kriisy, enjoy tonight. Tell me all about it tomorrow, I simply can't stay up. have a ball.
ReplyDeleteSylvia xx
