I'm certainly not one to preach. But in your current condition it's pretty important to keep doing the exercises & stretching on your own.

I've added some walking into my exercise, 200 laps around the spiral staircase opening in my kitchen is a mile, my hips still get sore fast, I made it to 20 today, this whole incident of falling on my hip has made me realize I have arthritis in more joints than I knew

How are you feeling though?

[Stoneman]

Okay, I caved. The 32" jeans were getting uncomfortably loose. Currently in my first pair of 30" Levi's since, well.....I don't even fuckin' remember.

I broke down recently and upped my Levi count to three total pairs of 30". At this point, getting to 150lb. isn't sounding so attractive to me any longer, cost-wise.

How are you feeling though?

generally ok, but dizzy spells, I've been checking my BP quite often, usually about 120/70, but sometimes 100/60

stent came out, but the stone didn't, means yet another endoscopy, and an MRI

had orders from 2 doctors for MRI today, could only get 1 done, I can turn my neurostimulator off for a MRI, but not 2 back to back, Had the one with contrast for my pancreas today, next Tuesday I get the MRI of my lumbar done

[RandyO]

ORDER #: 0623-0069 MR/MR lumbar spine wo con
IMPRESSION:
1. Large soft tissue mass in the spinal canal at the L1-2 level extending down to L2/3, this probably represents a large
extruded disc fragment however a neural tumor cannot be excluded. Review of the sixth 1926 MRI demonstrates that there
is some enhancement at this level with central low signal. Detail is insufficient to determine whether this represents
epidural enhancement or enhancement within the mass lesion. Further evaluation with an dedicated MRI with and without
contrast is recommended.
2. Multilevel additional degenerative change with notably severe spinal stenosis at L2-3

ORDER #: 0619-0045 MR/MR abdomen wo w con
IMPRESSION:

1. No focal pancreatic mass present. Diffuse dilation of the pancreatic duct, similar to prior exams. This is of
indeterminate etiology. If not already performed, ERCP with brush biopsy should be considered.

2. Comparison with prior CT demonstrates coarse calcification in the uncinate process.

3. 1.4 cm choledochocyst in the uncinate process. Alternative possibility is a cystic lesion in the uncinate process
but this is felt to be less likely.

appears I'm due for more testing, close too maximum out of pocket for year
