Biopsy

Went and had the liver biopsy Tuesday 7/19, went well - the pain - no pain and went home about 11am. Took Wed. off to recover and have an appointment with Dr.Hames on Thursday 7/21 for update and Metlife form fill out, at $25. OK.
Hopeing to return to work Friday 7/22, but I think I will be postponing a sleep disorder test on Monday 7/25 at 9pm until I can get back to work. Although I've been out for some 3 months now I figure I'll be in training for a couple of weeks. If Metlife doesn't satisfy Verizon's absent regulations I could be out or face some sort of disciplinary actions, which I am now on for using to much FMLA leave.
I'll deal with that when the time comes.

metlife

Got some calls from Johnnie Jackson about no metlife issues and unwarrented abscence, called Metlife and informed them of pending biopsy and appointment with Dr.Hames on 7/01, and back issues, Metlife is contacting Dr.Hames and Dr.Namburu for biopsy info. I was hoping to postpone biopsy but the Lord put it in my heart to do it now. Hopefully I can return to work 7/21 or 7/22.

Back again

I was thinking of going to work friday 15th of July and just when I was making myself something to eat I felt my back tightening up, soon the sciatic was back. I do have an appointment with Dr.Liu friday whose going to do a EMG (electromyogram - An electromyogram (EMG) is a test that is used to record the electrical activity of muscles. When muscles are active, they produce an electrical current. This current is usually proportional to the level of the muscle activity. An EMG is also referred to as a myogram.). We shall see what happens, I think I'm supposed to have a liver bioptsy done, but I'm thinking of rescheduling this in hopes I can return to work Monday July 18th.

June 12

Saturday I took one pill to make me sleep and no alarms set I awoke occasionally, but when I did awake Sunday about 7 am my back had a symptom of pain in the lower right lumbar region. Thinking I wanted to be ready for returning back to work Monday. During the day the pain became more severe and I took hydrocodone and another muscle relaxor, and used the heating pad hoping this would release the tension in my lumbar area, still I had restless pain in my lower leg regions. I took another pain medication to help me sleep, I awoke about 6 am Monday and the pain in my lumbar area was still severe. I called in to RMG to report being sick. Shortly around 11am the pain seemed to dissipate, but the whole lower back was still and painful. Restless Leg Syndrome seemed to come in my left leg - something inordinate, I continued to medicate and finally about 11pm I took another pain med and had to call in on July 12, Tuesday to RMG. Still the pain is unbearable. This makes me wonder why if this is only arthritis why is the area in the lower lumbar area on the right side seem to be nerve pain coursing thru the spine to right buttock and down the right leg, as was the original affected area. At this time pain is still persistent in the right lumbar area
