Time to share!

Well of course it is time to share.  That is why we have this blog!  So if you have noticed, we have not been updating very often and there is an excuse.  Keep reading.  It may be long but it might help one of your friends or family members in the future on what has been going on with us.  Actually, what has been going on with SR.

We still have a great sense of humor so you can smile and laugh along with us.

In my neck, at the base of my skull, there are three vertebras that are protruding which are compression the nerves and making them go haywire and electrifying my nervous system in my body.  Especially the right side of my neck has the most significant showing of pressure and displacement of disc and nerves.  Tomorrow, 3/4/2010 I am going to have a nerve conductive test.  With those results we will see what our next step will be after the doctors discuss the outcome.  I should know those results 3/19/10.

In the meantime, I am going to wear a supportive collar but only when walking or in a vehicle.  Oh I also do have some arthritis in my neck, you get that with old age!  Most of you will remember that I had a major car accident several years in the MX6.  Who would have ever thought that would come back to haunt me!

Here are some very interesting abnormalities with me.  I have extremely high levels of Protein in my body that I must reduce back to a normal range.  We are going to try diet first to get those levels back into a normal and safe range.  Now we have to do some internet research and find foods that I may eat containing lesser amounts of protein.

Unfortunately and very unusual is that my B12 level is dangerously low.  I started B12 shots immediately today, tomorrow and Friday.  Then once a week for three weeks thereafter, then once a month until my levels are at the normal range.  For some reason, my body is not properly assimilating the intake of my foods (veggies) into my body.  Hmm, almost the same sentence in the paragraph above, Now we have to do some internet research and find additional foods that have a higher amount of B12.

If you have any suggestions or ideas what to eat or not, send them on to us!

So I'm not crazy at all (yeah, right - LOL).  It is great to have learned that we have a good knowledge why I felt so tired and weak for some time now, along with the neck thing - my body just decided it was time to have someone pay attention to it and get a fix.

We are so relieved.  It appears that everything is treatable.

More updates as we know so you can check here for them if you want.
Love,
