...It Freakin' POURS!!!!!

I had to go back to the doctor this morning because for the past 4-5 days I've been having numbness followed by a burning aching down my legs after getting up from sitting or lying down. At first I thought it was just some kind of drug interaction (I'm on quite a few...) but it has been accompanied (or, I should say PRECEEDED) by sharp pain in my lower back. Its gotten to the point where I cannot support my weight on my legs due to the numbness.

I had a TERRIBLE time last week during Jack's delivery when I got the epidural...and mentioned it to the doc. I told her that it was the worst pain I have ever felt and that according to my hubby, the anethesiologist had to pull the epidural catheter out once and give me more of the local becuase I was screaming bloody murder upon the initial insertion. Doctor now suspects a spinal hematoma...and ordered an "emergency MRI with urgent reading " because aparently if whatever is causing pressure continues I could permanently lose neurological function in the areas effected. So I'm leaving now for the hospital (gee, what a good customer I am!!!) for the MRI. They want me to hang out there until its read so if there is a hematoma they may admit me for emergeny spinal surgery. Delicious!!!

Can I please catch a break sometime soon??????????????????????????
