It really sounds strange, but probably the best thing that happened to me over the past month was falling in front of my home on New Year’s Eve Day because my part of the street wasn’t plowed.
Why am I saying this? In October, it seemed that every time I would sit down I felt like I was sitting on something. I didn’t pay much attention to it because I have a slightly curved spine from birth and have had sciatica.
So, when I fell I decided to go to a Chiropractor for the pain. A few days ago, I went for an x-ray of my lower back-my lumbar region.
On Wednesday I went for treatment to my Chiropractor and she sat me down and told me I have what appears to be a tumor like growth in my lower spine.
I am going for a MRI next Thursday so the Doctors can get a closer look. Actually, I should be getting a C-T Scan but HealthNet WONT approve this proceedure which I don’t understand because an MRI is $1,800 and a C-T Scan is $800!!
But the C-T scan looks through bone and the MRI is meant for soft tissue-So I am going to pull the $800 out of my OWN POCKET and have a C-T scan also. Can you believe this? I have State of Connecticut Employees Health Insurance and I have to pay for my own C-T Scan.
I don’t know what more to say other than I will not be posting until I find out WHAT IS GOING ON!! The way my doctor keeps calling me and talking to me I will be upfront-it doesn’t sound good.
I will let you know what is going on. Right now I am shaking so bad I can’t even type. But what happens happens. Life is like that. Now this is all I think about-so I hope all of you can understand me not wanting to post at this time.
