As of a few minutes ago my surgery has been postponed until an undetermined date.<\/p>\n
Symptoms I’m having that are almost surely unrelated to my back and nerve problems make it seem wise to delay my lumbar laminectomy surgery until their source can be determined and the symptoms are mitigated. I’ll be seeing at least one other specialist early next week.<\/p>\n
Thankfully (for some unknown but extremely welcome reason) my back and leg pain have subsided significantly in the last 4-5 days and hopefully that will continue so at least I have reasonable hope of being in less pain until all this is resolved. I’ll look at that as a silver lining in an otherwise gloomy outlook.<\/p>\n
I apologize for the premature alarm in yesterday’s post but as far as I knew then the surgery would happen on Monday and I didn’t want regular readers to wonder why I wasn’t posting daily like I nearly always do. I’ll likely be posting, at least sporadically, between now and whenever the surgery actually occurs.<\/p>\n
And yes, it feels funny to be publishing a blog post that doesn’t include at least one photo but I figured readers deserve to know what’s going on as quickly as possible and I couldn’t think of an appropriate photo to use.<\/p>\n
My “thinker” isn’t working as well as usual these days. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
