my pain meds have me very sleepy and groggy so don't have much energy to write.....
the visit to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday presented basically 2 options....
1
just wait and the fracture will eventually heal on its own -no knowledge of when.....weeks, ?months?
2
a procedure call Kyphoplasty which you can google or read this article.....
the procedure seems simple and non invasive, except that i am terrified of general anesthesia so am real hesitant.
my plan is to ask the surgeon some more questions before making any decision....
the stress of wondering what to do is very debilitating to add to all the other stresses.
i am being weaned off prednisone and can feel the pain of the Polymyalgia quite a bit.....
send energy and strength - i need it......!!!!
blessings to all as i face another mountain to climb with not a lot of energy to do so.......
