On 3/22 my husband and I flew to NYC for the day and had the MRI with Dr. Potter. A week later we were on our way to Phoenix to see Loretta and Dr. Hibner. I decided to try and make the trip into a mini vacation and hoped to be able to see something of the state instead of just Drs. After the 19 hour day, we slept quite awhile. When we woke up the next day, I did my usuall routine of 3 Tramadol and a rectal valium suppository. I was feeling pretty good so we decided to take a trip. When we go back after an 10 hour day, I realized I had very little pain and I was sitting most of the day on my Tush Cush

Also some scarring on the dorsal nerve,( I have no pain there). She also agreed with us about why I didn't hurt as bad in AZ. The next day when I saw Dr. Hibner, he said he lets Loretta guide him and he believes she is right. I asked him, out of all the PN patients does my entraptment seem easier to get to. He said yes. That's good to hear. I just hope when I have the surgery with Dr. Conway he agrees and finds the same results. He also said that if I didn't have any pain on the clitoris, he wouldn't suggest surgery. He said why have surgery on something that doesn't bother me. Fine by me. When talking to Karyn, she tells me Dr. Conway can reach the area so why not have it taken care of while he's right there. That makes sense also. It's not like I'm going to need a second surgery.
When we got home Fri at 3:00 AM, after another 20 hour day I was kind of okay. Went to bed around 5 AM and up at noon to start the 6 loads of laundry. Got a phone call from a very good friend saying they would like to come Sat. Holy crap. I said yes come along and we had a great time. I would never turn my friends down after they were offering to drive the 6 hours to get here just to see how I was doing. BUT when they left on Sun. I was hurting bad and tired as hell.
So the jist of this "book" is get rid of the stairs. Rod called the realtor the day after we got home and told him to drop the house another 10 grand so hopefully it will sell and we can get somewhere without stairs.
I have an appt. with Dr. Conway on the 5th of May to discuss surgery. AND the best thing is, I believe I'm going to get to meet my new very good friend Karyn in person. I already know she's beautiful on the inside and I've seen pictures and she's beautiful on the outside,(if you can overlook the snake she's holding) HA HA.
My best to all of you;
