Thank you all so much for your prayers. Don’t know if today’s CT scan worked or not. My weak veins wouldn’t support the IV they wanted to use so they put in the smallest they had. The technician warned that it might not stand up to the pressure of the dye, but he’d reduce the pressure and give it a try. It blew. Some of the dye entered my veins but a lot of it ran down my arm. Guess we’ll know more tomorrow or the next day. The doc says she might reschedule an MRA scan that doesn’t use dye, but the surgeon says it probably won’t give him the info he needs. I’m also scheduled for some kind of scan on Monday in nuclear medicine. Sure hoping they find the problem and come up with a treatment plan soon. In the meantime, I’m hanging in there.

Pinging you to Jim’s update.

Jim, I’ll be praying that they injected enough dye to get some info from the CT Scan. I’m praying for some relief from the pain so you can get some much needed rest.

Take care and keep us posted on the progress or non-progress.

I’ll keep you in my prayers Jim.

Happy to hear that your local VA is providing excellent care.

Happy, but not surprised, since I have always found my local VA to be top notch.

I am glad to hear you are hanging in there, Jim. I know it has been very difficult for you and I am praying that something, somehow gives you some relief. I am praying that your doctors will find the problem and come up with a solution and a treatment plan and that your pain will be controlled so that you can finally rest and get better.

Continue to hang in there and jk and I will continue to pray.
