Had a horrible weekend that continued right into today. It started off OK Friday night with getting the MRI done finally. But Saturday turned into a nightmare with 7 hours spent at the car dealership and being told I may need a new $4500 transmission. Then on Sunday, my mother and sister, who are in Pennsylvania, emailed me a photo to show me that my grandmother's old house, that I adored, had been torn down and turned into a McMansion. I literally cried. Then I went and picked up my MRI report today and it's so technically written, it's almost impossible to tell what it says. Though it definitely mentions displacement of the S1 nerve by a "protrusion", it doesn't seem to be as bad as last time. So I have no idea what the doctors will do with that. I am currently waiting on my GI to call or email me about it, but if he doesn't today, I won't be able to talk to him until Wednesday as tomorrow is his day off. Frustrating. And getting more painful daily. Another day of wanting a whole new life.
