This might give the chance for the disc bulge to heal as well. We are praying for full recovery without surgery. <br /><br />Texan - This MRI was the best "open" MRI I've EVER seen! If you go to the website www.MRI911.com you can see the machine that is used. It was amazing. Plus, you don't have to lie down. I need an MRI and am thinking of going to them to get it so I can see what the difference is like for myself. The regular machines are TIGHT!<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-5804277279894404772012-03-29T19:49:42.124-07:002012-03-29T19:49:42.124-07:00Hope she can get on the mend!

Sounds like you've got an excellent medical team working on Stef.

Linda --- I'm...Charade --- we keep trying! :-)<br /><br />Linda --- I'm so thankful we weren't seeing her off to surgery in the near future. It's always hard to recover from surgery and the body is never the same afterward, especially applying to the spine. The physical therapy has been eye-opening and will hopefully be able to eventually help her deal with the bulging disc that is so painful. The weather was horrible, we drove in storms and through streets covered with partial flooding all day. So stressful!<br /><br />Melissa --- my oldest daughter worked at Space Center Houston, in the business offices, during part of her college years. It was a wonderful experience for her and we always got in free through the back door! She loved that job. My brother-in-law works on the NASA complex; it's a wonderful place to work and to visit. I'm glad you went and hope it was thoroughly enjoyable. As for Stefie, I'm very happy she doesn't need surgery, but am worried about the disc bulge that is fairly large. I'm most concerned about the need to see a neurologist. I will keep praying! Our land is nearly two hours from our current house, but only about 50 minutes from downtown Houston. I do hope the house sells quickly, but we are kind of thankful for the bad weather --- it keeps the showings to a minimum and that's great for our situation with Stefie. It will probably be crazy busy with marketing, very soon. <br /><br />Tombstone Livestock --- I am so glad that she is not having to be rushed in to surgery. She has compression of the spine that can possibly be altered by P.T. knowledge and that disc bulge, well, I am hoping that it might be lessened by her decompression exercises. They had her in the pool today at the physical therapy place...the perfect exercise for decompression. We'll see how it goes.<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-14183380495524542342012-03-20T12:51:15.025-07:002012-03-20T12:51:15.025-07:00Glad she doesn't need surgery if something els...Glad she doesn't need surgery if something else will help. Hope she can make up for missed classes. Looks like you have the best in the way of medical staff. This is a good example of why we all need excellent medical and liability insurance, just testing can be extremely expensive. You never know when you will need it and it is not something you can get after the fact. That is one payment I make sure gets paid on time every month.Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-70307916250123786542012-03-20T11:49:12.712-07:002012-03-20T11:49:12.712-07:00This is almost funny to me. We went to Space Cente...This is almost funny to me. We went to Space Center Houston about 10 days ago and have been doing other things and have not done a post about it yet..... As for your daughter, Should we be happy or sad that she does not need surgery? Sometimes it is better and even best for the one involved! How far away are ya'll moving to? I hope your house sells if you need it to! <br />Best of luck with all in your world!'MelissaKids and Canning Jarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794388845414644018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812128414310678524.post-35146103546754285892012-03-20T10:09:04.480-07:002012-03-20T10:09:04.480-07:00Good news about Stefie then.
