MRI Results

I know some of you have been wondering about it, so I thought I would post it here.
I only know a few details, but will know more at the end of the month. I had the MRI done last Thursday and got the call yesterday for an appointment in Billings. They set it up with a Neurosurgeon at Billings Clinic (Dr. Morone) on Tuesday January 26th in the morning.

The MRI showed more nerve decompression (which I already figured with the pain I was having and knowing I already had herniated discs), but it also showed a narrowing of the spinal cord canal. I am not all up on the medical stuff, but my Mom and Sister and I are going to look stuff up. Surgery doesn't sound good to me, but I want to be able to pick my Girls up too. I'm sure it will be fine, but I was taken back with that last part. The Nurse said there was more there and it was confusing to try to explain, so it would be easier if I waited to talk to the Doctor. Hoping to help it without surgery, so we will see. It does feel better, but the burning sensations in thigh are just annoying right now, not the pain like it was before. My two little twos still seem to be numb and they tingle worse at night. BUT it is NOTHING like the pain I was in a over a week ago. I will keep you posted as I get more information.
