I am amazed that they have not had you flat on your back for an extended preiod until this settles down. When I had just a spinal tap when in Peace Corps (at a much younger age than I am now) I made the mistake of sitting up too soon and had a headache for days! and a stiff neck... Would a hard or soft cervical collar help support your head, or would it put too much pressure on your incision? Hope you get a good night's sleep! Gentle hugs, headbonks and purrs from the whole crew downriver! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-464012 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:01:08 +0000 Leeny 464012@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm having kind of a hard time understanding the doctor here. First, he says this is very, very bad, and yells at the office worker that the scans have to be done TOMORROW, THIS CAN'T WAIT. The scans end up waiting until the following week. The doctor gives you a way to contact him immediately, then goes on vacation without telling you or letting you know how to contact someone in his absence. What he's saying and what he's doing don't seem to match. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463993 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:40:29 +0000 mollycat71 463993@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes, SM, I was. The test for meningitis and encephalitis both came back as negative. Thank goodness the only thing that has come back is a yeast infection in my incision. He was not surprised seeing that our hair "catches" everything just walking outside. I slept the day away today on and off a heating pad. I feel world's better and the on call guy thinks it is just my posturing and holding my head tight. Since I am also missing the first one and half vertebrae I probably just brought it on myself. Since the heat helped they are not too concerned. I will feel much better when my NS is back from vacation! Thanks for the continued concern and love to you all! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463979 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:20:32 +0000 SoxsMom 463979@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC a bit worried about the fact you are having a hard time moving your head. You had said that the NS was concerned with menengitis. Were you able to get ahold of the on call doctor? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463810 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:56:59 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 463810@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Well I am glad for him that he is no longer getting stuck with two payments. Hopefully they are good tennants. Will keep up the prayers that God will provide one way or another. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463792 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:23:22 +0000 mollycat71 463792@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>he was in big trouble financially so he rented it out to a couple who lost their house in foreclosure. he is getting the FULL mortgage payment from them so who can complain? that way he doesn't have to worry about that one payment. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463780 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:59:01 +0000 KYKAT 12 23 463780@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Amy, I was off the list for several days due to work and I didn't see this thread yesterday. Know that you have my prayers as strong as I can get them to go! I wish I lived closer and could check up on you in person. Mr. KYKAT and I are sending you gentle hugs and healing white light. TXT or call me any time you need someone to be a mom type and say "poor baby" and tell you to get rest and fluids.</p> <p>Question, did FF ever sell the 2nd house? Could you rent it from him? That would at least get you in a place where he could cut you some slack if you get behind. I am worried for you on so many fronts so will continue the prayers. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463759 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:20:13 +0000 Karenopa 463759@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Prayers and TDK White Light surrounding you {{{Amy}}}!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463725 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:05:35 +0000 Buttercup 463725@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>[[[[Amy]]]]] </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463719 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 08:49:31 +0000 jeankit 463719@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>TLC+Blessings coming your way MC! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463661 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:04:26 +0000 katthays 463661@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hope you can get some help today, MC!

Guess I will get in touch with the on call doctor and let him know. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463575 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:21:41 +0000 WillowandWindismom 463575@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>MC, I have been gone and am so behind in finding all of this. You must let someone know about the nausea and vomiting. That will create pressure that you don't need right now.</p> <p>What a trial you are going through! I wish that some of us were closer to be there with you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463556 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:20:50 +0000 SoxsMom 463556@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Can you get into see him for something to curb the nausea? The pressure of throwing up could really cause more pressure in your head. Is there anything you can take to help that doesn't conflict with your meds? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463555 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:20:15 +0000 jcat 463555@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{{{Amy}}}} We are pulling for you, Miracle Kid! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463545 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:55:20 +0000 mollycat71 463545@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes SM, that's how I found out that he was on vacation. I got some neuro guy that couldn't speak a lick of English. Kinda concerned me he had any idea what I was talking about! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463543 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:53:20 +0000 SoxsMom 463543@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Opahall posted last night that you were throwing up. Did you mention that to the doctor today? Make sure you are telling him everything. It could be a symptom of something critical. I am thankful the test went well and continued prayer. Don't forget that you have his number--vacation or no he left his patients with another neurosurgeon. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463542 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:53:18 +0000 kittymom 463542@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{Amy}}} Stay strong my dear!!!

I'm glad everything went well. Now, to find out what the scans say and what the doctors intend to do about it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/6#post-463540 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:48:27 +0000 mollycat71 463540@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Ahh, all done! The guy who worked with me said that I certainly had this testing thing down pat! I know all the answers to all the questions, I know which veins are good and which are bad, what my likes and dislikes are, how to adjust the table to make it comfy for my head. He was really great, retired military and no nonsense, just like I like em. Don't BS me, just shoot straight. So he said all my scans would be read tonight by the overnight trauma radiologist and the other stuff could take up to two days. Found out today my neurosurgeon is on vacation this week so no news until next week at the earliest. I did ask if there was anything in my head and he said "sure is!". :P </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/5#post-463517 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:00:38 +0000 feral 463517@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>HUGS &amp; Best of Luck to you Amy!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22282/page/5#post-463516 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:55:06 +0000 Shelley 463516@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Best wishes Amy.
