I guess I was to vague before.  Sorry.  Its a lot to take in.

So back in the start of August when she first lost the feeling and use of her legs it was becasue the disk had herniated adn then ruptured.  It damaged the spinal cord.  Now we know the damage is permanant. 

She will probablly never get anymore feeling.  Her legs are so weak.  She can’t push up on her legs.  They just can’t hold her.

She has no control of her bladder or her bowels.  She’s had a cathater in since she first went into the hospital.  She had an anal catater put in and taken out a couple of times.  That was when she had diarrhea and they weren’t able to keep her clean.  She was so embarassed.

Anyway.  I’m rambling.  My thoughts are scattered.  It amounts to there is too much damage adn this is as good as its gonna get.  At least she doesn’t seem to have any pain.

That’s good.

I’m going to bed.  My head hurts.

Y’all take care and hug those babies tight.
