update from Pam
Really good news on scans last week. Brain MRI improved. PET scan improved. MRI lumbar spine improved. ca2729 down to 460 - have had 3 digits in ages. Merry Christmas to me.
The down side. My femur bone is almost healed, but I've developed drop foot. My foot is so swollen, I can't feel it, flex it, walk steady at all. This is new since the broken leg. The doc says it's caused by nerves; I see a neurologist Tuesday. Has anyone had this? It's really set me back, very debilitating for my ability to walk and balance which were hard to begin with. I hope there's a cure. I know there are devices to put in your shoe to help lift the foot but it's only an aid.
Great news! My son was married on Dec. 10. Beautiful ceremony & wonderful day. I needed friends' help with walker, etc. but was so thrilled to be able to be there and enjoy. It was a joyous wedding and they are so happy, it makes my heart sing.
