No surgery
Well, May was an exciting month. We found out that Bob does not need surgery. This following a grueling 2 weeks for. He underwent a myelogram and CT scan for the doctor to get updated info about his back. The good news was it had not worsened in the 6 months since his MRI. The bad news is that 1 in 200 people get a spinal headache from the myelogram and poor Bob was one of them. The poor man was off his feet and flat on his back for 24 straight hours before I took him back to the hospital for them to do what is called a blood patch. It makes the headache go away. So we thought we were home free. Except Bob went to work the next day, after being told he could but one of his clients made him laugh real hard, and it dislodged the blood patch. So, after another 24 hours of torture, I took him BACK to the hospital for a second blood patch and he has done fine since. Thank goodness. He is scheduled to have an epidural shot of steroids to try and relieve some of ongoing sciatica, but that is as invasive as it will get for him. We will keep you updated.
