Dear Marie:

How are you doing??? I have had a completely crazy day! I still have tons of laundry to fold and office work to do. Anyway, I stuck to my dose today and I will see my spine surgeon on 11/4. I want to ask him if he would refer me to a pain management physician. There is actually one about 20 mins from us. I want to build as many resources for myself that I can so that I can be successful with this recovery.

You are still on my mind and in my prayers constantly!!!!

Love, love, love

Thanks sweetie -

Pain mgmt might be a good idea. I tried it - funny thing is they UPed my dose of percocet then gave me spinal epidural blocks - they seemed to work the first 2 times - but then the pain came back, worse than ever.

Of course, they want to do surgery on my spine - I wont even go there.

You are in my thoughts and prayers T. I might not be posting too much in the next couple of days for obvious reasons, but will touch base to let u know that I am OK.

Love,
Marie
Hi Sweetie:

Thank for your words about the pain management. I will certainly involve my internist with the whole situation. He has always taken such good care of me. I wish I could be there with you. I know exactly how you're feeling.

Remember, if you can't sleep, give me a call and we can wrap as long as you need.

Get lots of rest, water and maybe even some exercise. The other thing that I make myself do, whether I'm in the middle of w/d or not, is force myself to get outside and spend some time in the sunlight. That works wonders for the soul. It can really help me stay lookin up.

Hang in there, we are all here for you.

Smoochies, smoochies

Hi T -
Before I try to lay down I wanted to stop in and say hi. You have been super supportive of me and I appreciate that. I have always tried to support everyone when going though these WDs, but feel bad because today I'm just not good for **it and feel horrible. Its wierd that with the Clonidine the dr. gave me, etc. it seems even worse, this time around.

I was just wondering how you were doing? Hope your pain is easing up some. I know you are really in LEGIT pain and it sucks. I AMTOO - I'm just a chicken s*** to have back surgery.

I'm not on long - was just thinkikng of you, hon. Maybe I'll give you a buzz tomorrow.

Love,
Marie


Hi Marie:

I was unable to get to the computer yesterday. I substituted at the prekindergarten class yesterday. I just wanted to let you know I have not dropped off the earth. I have been swamped. Ended up stuck at Walmart last night waiting for Chris' .22 caliber that the sporting goods person could not find. Scary thought.

Anyway, how are you doing this afternoon? I am sorry that the Clonidine is helping. I found it to be a huge help. You might want to ask you doctor about Ritalin as well as it can really help with the focus issues when you're running a household and kids that are so busy.

The weather here is damp and very chilly and I have a moist heat pack on my neck constantly. I may actually go to see my internist this evening as yesterday I moved too quickly to retrieve a 5 year old who had fallen off of a swing and pulled my left shoulder! UGGH!

Please let me know whats going on with you and if you makin it through this w/d.

My love, thoughts and prayers
