When good news means bad news

February 27, 2012

Lizze had her EMG done this morning.  She was having this done because her legs go between numb and pain. This has been getting worse as time goes on.

My understanding was that we were looking for neuropathy and if it wasn't found that would be good news.

Apparently Lizze and I weren't on the same page.

Well,  I'm getting ahead of myself.

Lizze underwent the procedure and it took about 20 minutes.  It actually went very well.  While it was unpleasant,  it was nothing like the last time. She said that if she knew it was going to be like this,  she wouldn't have worried.

The doctor walked her out when she was done and told us that everything was normal and that her legs were fine.

I was like,  alright,  that's great news.  However, after saying that,  Lizze looked at me like I was crazy. This is where the Lizze and I not being on the same Page comes  into play.

Apparently,  this was one of those,  *she thought she told me,  and maybe she did,  but I have no memory of this conversation *kinda thing.  Anyway,  her neurologist thinks the problem is in her back,  her spine, to be more specific.

Insurance wouldn't cover the MRI she needs until the EMG was performed first. While I thought it was good news we received this morning,  apparently,  all it does is confirm that the problem is likely her back.

This is a pretty big *miscommunication* if you ask me.

Now we have to wait to find out when the MRI will take place. WTF,  only we would hear good news that is actually bad news.
