Ouch.....the biopsy hurt.....my god...i'm a whimp...lol

Well, not much went on today. Just got cut on. They deadend the "skin" only.....cut thru it, then got to the muscle........ and Dr. Plaitez picked the left bicept, as this was where the first atrophy was and she noticed it was smaller....

It's amazing now all of a sudden the dr's are interested in the smaller muscles i've been showing them for 9 months.

so, got to the muscle....then....she cut 5 samples out....2 on top of muscle, one in between and one at "bottom", near the elbow and one under the muscle....

Let me tell you....IT HURTS. MY God again...... They cannot deaden the muscle and she cut each piece about 1 cm sq. with sizzors(sp.). and it felt just like someone cutting your muscle out without it being deadend....just as it was. I liked to jumped off the table.

Ok, enought about being a whimp.....

Results in 2 - 4 weeks. Neuro still thinks it's not ALS, but something bad thought, hopefully treatable.

Thanks to all of you for your support, you know i will be there when you need me.

i cant type no more, my arm hurts and will be swollen like a blowfish tomorrow.


rgds,

Jamie

[reneeberry]

Sorry to hear you are hurting Jamie. I hope the results show something treatable. Also just wanted to say thanks for your kind words, you've actually helped me alot to stop worrying so much about what's going on and realize that anxiety does cause your body to do some really weird stuff. Take it easy and I will keep you in my prayers.

[Jamiet]

Thanks again yall.......it's amazing how....we all support one another...each at the time of need....

I'm better today, although, i've come to work against the dr's rules, drove to work agains't the dr's rules, spoke on the cell phone on the way to work, driving with my knees...lol......... ALS / MND.... or whatever the heck i got is going to have a tough time stopping me........i can drive with no hands....lol

Good luck- prayers are with you! I know that I need to do things like work to keep my mind off things. Let us know when you hear. Did the doctor tell you at all what they suspect?

[Jamiet]

all she said is something is wrong.

it's all open at this point.

[ltr]

Hey Jame - glad you're back with us and that everything went well. Sorry about the pain, my doc did deaden the muscle (and it still came back positive. I was worried about that deadening stuff) lucky for me. And that 2-4 week thing is just to give them time, they know way sooner. When you hear something, let us know. P.S. Take my advise......Don't roll over in your sleep! Your bud, Leslie

[Jamiet]

rgds,

jamie

[MtPockets]

Hope! That is the word I use to describe all you wonderful people on the forum. Of course I would have to add Love to that also.
Without hope life would be sooo boring.

Jamie, love your idea of the trailer hitch on the wheelchair, hum... wonder if mine can tow a 3500lbs boat?? AL probably has tried that one already???

No matter how bad a mood I get out of bed with in the morning, yall always cheer me up. Thank you,Thank you.

God Bless

MY CUP HAS OVERFLOWED

I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow.

And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed,
I'm drinking from my saucer,
cause my cup has overflowed.

I haven't got a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough.
But I've got loved ones around me,
And that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for His blessings,
and the mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucier,
cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when
things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun peeped through again.

So God, help me not to gripe about,
The tough rows that I've hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucier,
cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I'll not ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy,
To help others bear their loads,
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucier,
cause my cup has overflowed

God Bless
Capt AL

I awoke this morning feeling as if I had been run over by a Mack truck. My lower calves and feet felt as if I had just finished pounding them in the pavement, my muscles twitched all night long and I was a little short of breath. I was feeling rather down thinking that I just finished college (again) and failed to give a life of wealth to my children as I had planned.

Thank you Captain Al, again, for reminding what matters. You are such an encouragement and inspiration to me. All I needed was to be reminded, and reading your post reminded me! ~Leslie
