October 28, 2005

Informatio:

Where have I been for the last 12 hours?

AdmittedI was awakened out of my sleep last night, around midnight, by excruciating leg pain (mostly in my knees and ankles, but with periodic shots of pain from my knees all the way to my feet). I can’t even begin to explain how badly it hurt — think of feeling your bones trying to snap in half (or something). Anyway, I tried to wait it out for a few hours, but it didn’t seem to be getting any better (worse sometimes). So, I swallowed my pride and got up to take me to the hospital. It was around 3:00 AM at this point.

4-50 AMThey took blood and tested me for a number of things, including my electrolytes and all came back fine. We ended up having to wait until 6:00 AM, or so, for the radiology tech to get in so that they could get a sonogram of my legs (because of my blood disorder, they wanted to check for possible clotting). After waiting until about 8:00 AM, we got the report that there was no clotting.

We’re back home now… After coming home, we crashed for a few hours. But, my legs still hurt and I don’t know what to do.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this?

In any case, please pray that it’s not big deal. I feel bad enough that I had to waste our time at the hospital.

Gosh Tim, I hope everything is ok. I’ve never experienced anything like that. What next? Are there more tests they can do?

If you’re actually feeling it in your bones, I’m not sure I know what to tell you, but did they explore any neurological possibilities? My dad had shingles a few years ago, one result of which was a pinched or otherwise affected nerve in his lower back that wreaked periodic, unannounced havoc on his legs. When it struck, he described the pain as feeling like someone just walked up and fired a .32 into his legs at point blank range.

I hope, and pray, that your legs are feeling somewhat better by now.

Maybe the prophecy is beginning, maybe you are a Jedi as was foretold, maybe they’re just midichlorians spreading rapidly…maybe…maybe…there’s always hope.
