Doctor's Visit

Yesterday I went and had some test done, the doctor confirmed that I have neuropathy in both my feet, he says it is a mild case caused by my Diabetes. I tell you what, if the pain I'm dealing with is just a mild case, cut them off by the time I get to the next level...(smiling) He said he would put me on some medication for that type of specific pain, but it deals with the brain and I'm already taking tons of medications for that. The good news is that he is going to try and back me off my seizure medications each week and see how I do since I've had no seizures in the past four months, then he can add the other meds in so it will give me some relief from the foot pain. I'm scheduled to see him again next month and also to get another MRI to see if the swelling had gone down in my brain. I know things will get better for me, I just need to learn to have the patients on this one! Everyone else here is good, Amber started back to work yesterday after having surgery three weeks ago, she is pretty much back to her old self, pushing the boys around. Justin is struggling on where to go to school still, he has three offers now, we are just kinda waiting for our taxes to be done so he can apply for all the help he can get. That is all for now.

Love,
Christine
