Hi all,
After another very uncomfortable day for Laurie in which she seriously considered returning to the Sloan ER because of her pain level and not being sure of the cause, we spoke with Dr. Watkins, the Stonybrook surgeon who did the nanoknife procedure on her almost exactly one month ago. Dr. Watkins had reviewed all of her latest info (including CT scans from earlier this week) and did not see evidence of tumor or cancer related causes to her current pain. Rather, he suggested that it was her body still recovering from the surgery and that she needed to "get over the hump" and made a few suggestions to tweak her current pain med approach as well as a couple of simple exercises for her to do. He also recommended that if she wasn't feeling better in a week that it might be a good idea to consult a pain management expert.
Thus ended another trying week, but with good news --- at least for me. For Laurie, the best news at the moment would be to start to feel more comfortable and less in pain. Let's hope that isn't too too far around the corner.
love---Neal
