WOW what a week!!! Last Wednesday, my love collided with someone during softball, then hit the ground head first. Needless to say, he experienced a severe concussion, and we rushed him to the emergency room. They did two CT Scans and let him go, even though he didn't know the date, the year, anything. I was NOT a happy camper, and was actually quite rude to the hospital staff--that's me for ya. Well, he didn't get better. His headache didn't go away, he was having blurred vision and nausea, and got dizzy every time he stood up. Saturday I was getting a bit freaked out, so we took him to St. George to their ER--good thing we did! He ended up getting ANOTHER CT Scan, which showed some abnormalities... so they did an emergency MRI and it ended up just being a callus on the brain which is fine. More rest will do the trick, so they say. His head still pounds and he gets a bit dizzy, but he will recover just fine!
So yesterday I went to the Spine doctor in Las Vegas for a consultation. Turns out my back is worse than anyone thought, and I have a 2cm disc protrusion, so he is going to do surgery Monday! Less than a week away--they even bumped someone from the schedule to fit me in. A bit scary, but the thought of pain relief completely outweighs the nerves in my case. I'm excited to be able to sleep pain free and not wake up every few hours... excited to be able to sit in a car for more than an hour without being in excruciation pain... excited to possibly be able to dance again!!!
