I pray this is the last time

Back in Lutheran again. Sunday after church, my back started hurting very badly, to the point where it hurt to move let alone walk or stand. I called my mom and begged her to come down, and of course she did. I really didn't want to go to the ER again so I toughed it out all night. Very rough. Didn't sleep at all. My back just kept spasming and hurting. Nothing I took was helping and nothing I did was helping. Finally, at 8 on Monday morning, I called my oncologist. She said she would need to see me before she could really do anything for me. So, mom and I hopped in the car and headed to the office. Once we got there, the dr said she thought that maybe I had another compression fracture in my back. She immediately sent me to Lutheran. Mom drove us but I was in so much pain I almost wish we could've gone in the ambulance, just to get there faster. But, I made it. Before they could do the MRI, we had to get my pain under control, which took a little bit. I was just ready to not be in so much pain!!!!!! MRI went well. I think I dozed off during it due to the pain meds and lack of sleep. But, here's the bad news: I have to have more back surgery. The second fracture I got last year in my T8, was unable to be fixed when they found it. They said that it would heal itself over time. Well, it SHOULD have but it didn't. Due to all the steroids and other meds I'm on for the cancer, plus with how flimsy my bones are anyways, it did not heal. It was a 10% fracture.....it is now a 30% fracture. Plus, the T9 and 10 are compressing against it, more or less causing it to be inflamed and even more sore. Soooooooo, I saw a specialist and we're going to do the vertiboplasty tomorrow (the cement stuff). So, keep praying for me. God is still working in me and healing me. Saturday is the day we leave with the students for NYC. I asked both dr's and the specialist, and they seemed to think I may still be able to go. But, we'll see. I will definitely be bummed if I can't go but I know my health is first. So, please keep me in your prayers. Pray the surgery goes welll and I make it through with flying colors! Well, I am exhausted still, from lack of sleep and meds so if this post is a little strange, I apologize. I kinda keep dozing off as I type =)
