Thanks everyone for this overwhelming response! You're the best! (((HUGS)))
I'm still at home, and I'm okay, more or less. I miss working with the comp or being on the internet.
Strange thing is, as long as I'm in motion, the pain is bearable, but sitting for more than a couple of minutes is very painful.
I try to answer everyone's questions as good as possible:
Yes, Luna and Lily are good nurses, especially Luna is very sweet. Since I got so ill, she would come and lay down on my chest all the time and purr. Maybe she feels something's wrong in my back and she wants me to help with her purring. She's so cute.
I have friends who help me with some errands, for example lifting heavy things like cat litter bags. But I'm doing most of the house work stuff myself. I cannot ask someone to be there for me 24/7. Besides, I HATE the feeling of losing control over these things, so I keep doing it.
Barbara, that's encouraging that your co-worker got much better after an antibiotics-treatment! This is what they will give to me as well when the MRI confirms the spondylodiscitis. I also might need a punction of the abscess, just in case there IS an abscess already.
Besides, I forgot to mention one thing: The x-ray that have been done yesterday showed that two vertebras in my lower back are "rubbing" against each other; the disk between them is basically missing. Guess this is something I have to live with but I figure that is also causing a lot of the pain I have...
Again, thank you very much for your get well-wishes and prayers!! It's very appreciated!
