Tomorrow is the day for my MRI and lumbar puncture. To say that I'm nervous about the lumbar puncture is an understatement. I'm scared to death!!! I hate needles. I never had a spinal with any of my three kids because I was terrified of the needle being inserted into my spine. My spine and spinal fluid are something I really don't want messed with - I like them fine just where they are and untampered with. I keep telling myself to put on my big girl panties and quit acting like a wimp because everything really will be okay....but I'm still terrified!
On a separate note: I received a copy of my blood test results and I am happy to say that I don't have cat scratch fever, lyme disease, or sjogren's syndrome. From what I could tell (layman here), there was nothing abnormal. My sedimentation blood level was on the low end of normal (1 out of a 0 - 15), but I really don't know what that means.
