Hi Chotti Thanks - I think you are thinking of a pain relief procedure epidural type thing
this is Not that , im having a Diagnostic test where they remove fluid from your spine.
and the last one was Ridiculously Painful and it didn't work that's why I have to have it redone under ct xray
one thing they tell me its a little better this way for some reason.
Cardiologist appointment went well he's happy for me to continue as I am on the medication and oxygen so I don't have to go back for a year, so that's Good.
thanks for your good thoughts

On UR dr good news to not have to worry about appt for another yr.
I did think u meant a epidural they never worked for me ..hip back joints a waist of time. Cut the pain 5 minutes Max.
Sorry bout that as the proceedures u defined are so-o painful.
We refer to them as a spinal to remove fluid. I had many. So sorry.

I see u have a lot of the same health issues I do.
I'll just name the ones I DONOT have . Quicker...asthma,apnea, diabetes, heart issues & hypo.

U have a lot to manage. Stay with a good exercise clean eating program . Hope UR diabetis is well monotered, sleep issues are well managed and so is the other issues.

It's like as we age we almost need a score card to keep track of everything.

Stay strong.
