Another Fracture :(

Last time I checked in, I had just had a Kyphoplasty. It seemed to have healed well. I went for a post-surgery X-ray today. It showed another fracture, but this time it was L1. The first Kyphoplasty looks good according to the neuro team. The past couple of days, I have had some pain above the L2 area. It was difficult getting in and out of bed. Pain is returning. Not pleasant.

Tomorrow is Friday; I have blood work and another MRI to get a better picture of what is going on before the next surgery next week. I messaged my oncology team to see about canceling next week’s blood work since they could see it from tomorrow’s blood work. They told me yes and to hold off on chemo for the next couple of weeks since I’m having another surgery. I’m feeling frustrated, annoyed, and upset. I hope this isn’t an ongoing issue I will keep having to have surgeries. The nurse practitioner at the neurosurgeon’s office said it should not be this way going forward. It happens, but it’s rare. Lucky me.

Thanks for stopping by!
