We are in for another

Well here we go again for another foot operation. I am not looking forward just because, there is a possibility that we might not find out why I have been in so much pain. The just I would have to say is, Dr. Collins and I are going for it to see if there is something we can find. The good thing is that, he doesn't think I have another bone spur, gangling cyst, nerve most likely. But, I guess we will see if there is anything and what it is. The hard part is that Dr. Collins doesn't know what to put down for the medical code for insurance purposes. But, he did say he will come up with something even if it isn't that. The joke of the day yesterday was what he said. He told me that once I register, don't be to surprised if they tell me he is doing breast implants. :D Trust me Dr. Collins would never say that just to any patient. Him and I know each other pretty well just because of the last nine months. So he knew I needed a laugh because I was in a lot of pain. That made me laugh I will have to say. So I guess time will pass again. The day I go in for this famous operation is July 11th. I don't know what time yet. I will know as of the 10th. So I will write a post the day before just so everyone knows what time I will be heading for the hospital. I asked Emerson if he was ready for another he said yes he is. The other thing he said was there is a possibility that I might get canceled. The only reason for that is because he has another patient at another hospital and if they book both together then I will be bumped then I will have to wait most likely for another month. In the whole 20 years of him practicing he said he has had to cancel one patient and that is it. So there is a very good chance it won't happen. With the nerve operation he did the same thing he is doing now which is go between two hospitals. Since last time I wasn't bumped I have a good chance. Cross your fingers and just pray that I don't get bumped. I don't know if I can wait for a month. If I have too, well then it will be hard but I will do it.

It Has Been Awhile

It has been a little bit of time since I last wrote. I just got home as we speak from a reception of my Cousin Joseph Herbst and his new Wife Cassie. What a gorgeous couple they are. I also got to see all 10 cousins in Joseph's family and there parents Aunt Daphane and Uncle Kerry. It has been at least 11-12 years since I saw them. It was a blast getting use to the family again. Also, at the wedding was Uncle Mario and Aunt Laurie along with one of there sons Tyler, there daughter Rheanna, her husband Justin, and there three children. It was like a mini Herbst reunion in a way. The reception was really gorgeous.

As for my foot well, I have had three injections. Still, I have no relief. Dr. Collins is giving me till July 1st or 7th to see if they work and if they don't, I come right off of them. There is up in the air another operation that could happen. I don't want that but, if I have too I guess it will happen. Well my husband and I have an early morning. We have to take the car in to get fixed. It is off to bed for me.

Never Ending Foot

Well I had my first Alcohol Injection on Monday and for some reason the pain level just hasn't gone away when it should have. Dr. Collins is out of the Country till Sunday. He is in London so he has no clue what is happening other then Leslie. I called a Dr. Rhodes two days ago and he told me that if the pain keeps going he will prescribe me some more heavy duty pain killers till Collins gets back from London. I guess that is what I will be doing today. The other thing Rhodes said is that he might advise me to stop the injections if they are going to be like this for the remaining 2-3 at most to max of 8. Are we looking at another foot operation? I hope not but, I think it is looking like that. Once Collins gets back into Salt Lake City then, I will be a happy camper once again so he knows what has been happening. So far things have always happened to this foot when he leaves the city for something. Emerson I think is getting tired of seeing me in so much pain. I did venture out yesterday but to a point I think that wasn't wise. Emerson had to get shoes for his job so I had gone with him. Just wearing any shoe on my right foot is killing me. Over the past 24 hours I have a total of eight heavy duty pain killer called Percocet. I have slept more then I have been up. Last night I finally got a blessing to sleep peaceful and I did for so long. I just want this to heal and stop hurting. I would like to get back to a normal life once again.
