Health Update

Blogger isn't letting me publish pictures on here... when they fix the problem, I'll start publishing on here more. Sorry for not putting anything on here in a while.

As far as my health, I'm not really sure what to say. I'm in a lot of pain, since March 1st, 2007, I've been in the Emergency Room 5 times, accounting for 11 days in the hospital. That seems like a lot (probably because it is). I've told my friends I need to cut down a little. This is the latest news I have about my leg:

AP view of the pelvis and frogleg lateral view of the right hip.

FINDINGS: Views of the pelvis and right hip are remarkable for subchondral sclerosis an subchondral cystic change of the right femoral head. The joint spaces appear symmetric. . There is a round sclerotic density overlying the inferior medial right iliac wing adjacent to the SI joint.

IMPRESSION: Subchondral sclerosis and subchondral cystic change of the right femoral head the differential includes avascular necrosis and MRI may be of value. 2. Round sclerotic density in the right iliac wing adjacent to the inferior right SI joint. The differential includes a bone island and clinical correlation is recommended.

Now this sounds like a lot of doctor talk... and that's because it is. What it means, I have absolutely no idea. I haven't talked to the doctor about it. It could mean a many good deal of things, mostly of what I wouldn't like. The MRI is scheduled for Monday morning, following an appointment with the Pain Clinic, whom I may relieve them of their services. I didn't know pain clinics were supposed to cause you pain. I'm not into that.

Mackenzie is growing and beginning to talk quite well. His second birthday is already coming up. He spends a good deal of the day with his Grandma and Grandpa (Kathy and Gary) and his other Grandma, since I am on some strong pain-killers and walk slower than a one-legged turtle. Mackenzie, by-the-way, doesn't walk. He sits, stands, and runs. It's zero to sixty and nothing in between for the little guy. With as much energy as he has, he could power several major major cities and still have some left over.

Jenny is standing strong right now. It is tough for her, because it is tough for me. I really appreciate her strength right now. I don't know where I would be without it.
