vjgrey Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 The MRI showed no sign of a stroke or a brain tumor. They're doing a second MRI now of her neck and spine. Anything that wouldn't show up on an MRI that we should be looking at? When we arrived at the MRI center, she would stand on her own, so there seems to be a little improvement, but she was very splay-legged and wobbly and still couldn't walk at all.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vjgrey Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) The second MRI showed a herniated disc. Good news? Not-as-bad-as-it-could-be news? She's on prednisone and gabapentin and we'll check back in with the neurologist on Thursday. He doesn't think, at this point, that it'll need surgery. I may be looking for chiro recommendations. She's able to walk a little bit now, and he thinks she should be fully mobile when the meds kick in. Continued thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.

This is definitely not-as-bad-as-it-could-be news! I was crossing my fingers it wasn't osteo or a brain tumor. Hopefully the meds give her some relief Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
