A week ago I had an MRI on my midsection and lower back, and I just got the report. Oh dear.

To make a long story short, my spine is starting to disintegrate; or to be more precise, it's been doing so for a while and now the rate is increasing.

I haven't followed up with my PCP yet and I feel sure I'll be seeing a lot more doctors soon. Well, I'm glad that if this had to happen to me, at least it happened when I'm still relatively healthy and covered by good insurance. I've already starting checking into what my options are after my husband retires in that regard.

It is discouraging, though; I had hoped that my "issues" would get resolved and that my aches and pains would go away or at least reduced to a lower level. I guess I just have to face the fact that this won't go away and I'm going to need to figure out a way to deal with this.

I will, too, though I don't want to--I don't have any choice. Doing nothing isn't an option any more. Thanks for letting me vent; I don't want to talk to my DH about it too much because it upsets him quite a lot. He's done so much for me--as has my sister, too--I hate to dump more on him.
