It has been a while. So hello to all.
On June 11. I started with my burning in my arms and chest. I have it 24 hours a day but that day it got really bad. I was just about screaming. I had been in the bed all day and when my husband got home he called 911. It was that bad!!
I spent the next 5 hours in the ER before they even gave me anything for the pain. I was so angry I paced that hospital and screamed at nurses. It all seems like a dream to me..
I was addmitted and spent the next 9 days in the hospital. It was the first time that I actually remember most. Usually they have me so dopped that I can ot remember anything
They did another MRI and it seems that I have some more activity.
For the most part they kept me on dilaudid to deal with the pain. they wanted to send me to a skilled nursing facility so that I could stay on the IV but i chose to come home. the next day I had an appoitment at a pain clinic and they talked about putting in a IV morphine cathader..Right now I am taking morphine and they said it would be less drugs and it would go right where you need it and not all over the body. I am considering it...
Still adjusting to the new meds and sleeping alot but for the firs time in 4 years I feel a little like my old self.. So this is what it feels like to not be in pain 24-7.. I told my husband that I find myself trying not to laugh.. I want to laugh at stupid stuff and I am not use to that...

I have not wrote in my journal for a while. a lot has been going on..Of course the usuall MS stuff..
2 weeks ago on a saturday me and my husband went furniture shopping. As always when i leave the house I check everything ten times. Mostly that my dog won't get into anything. So we left gone 4 hours. i went to pick up bella. The black and white one I have pics of and she cried when I touched her belly. So not like her. She is a very hyper dog and nothing bothers her. I was concerned but just watched her. By Sunday night we were at the dog hospital and an hour later she was in surgery...She swallowed a ROCK!!!!
So for all you pet owners especially dogs. Do not feed them mylabones or greenies. We gave her a mylabone. It says 100%digestibale and she was also blocked with that..They told us they see many dogs for the greenies.
So for the last 2 weeks i have been in bed with her. They cut her from her chest to her vajaja..She will be getting her staples out on saturday.
My dogs are my children and it has been a hard time for me. the surgery did a number on me.
Since she was apuppy she has chewed on everything outside and brings me rocks as gifts.. No more i guess I have to go buy one of those cage mussels and we got rid of the dogggy door. that surgery cost us $2500.00 UGH..She is worth every penny.

Good to hear from you!! Hope the MS stuff is getting better!
Sorry to hear about your doggy and thank you for the warning! I remember when my puppy had to have surgery and it was so hard , the vet warned me it would probably be harder on me then the dog and my goodnesss it was! He has hip dysplasia (sp) so that is what we had to get done.
Sure hope bella recovers soon and gets back to her happy self! You all take care and I hope you have a good weekend! Hugs, Michelle

I'm so sorry about Bella! Earlier this year, my cat had swallowed string from on of my Mom's knitting projects, and also had to get surgery to take care of the blockage. It just about killed me emotionally too! Hang in there -- I'm thinking of you!
So I have been having a few bad days - It's seems lately that every day is a bad day for me but when you your legs are going numb and they hurt that is a bad day for me.
About a year ago I was in the hospital for a week because my legs went completely numb. I was unable tomove them at all but could feel a whole lot of pain. It was so weird and scary at the same time. About two hours after I was admitted I was able to move them again. Thank the lord...You can only imagine the things that went thru my head. get this I was on IV steroids at the time and they say it had nothing to do with it. Regardless I don't use steroids anymore. Months later I was in the hospital again and they gave me another steroid called DECADRON (see post on board about that) and it set my vajaja on FIRE-No joke!
Somthing is going on with my husband. When he goes to sleep at night. he jerks really hard. he stayed home from work yesterday because the jerking kept him up all night. What could that be? It just started about a years ago.
Well, here it is 6 am I slept for like 12 hours. So I am going to go watch Greys Anatomy on DVR.. have a great day all, Hugs renea

Hey Renea
I have been wondering how you been, it has been a while since we talked. I am sorry you are having so much trouble it is scary when the legs give you so much trouble , scares me everyday too! I a happy it turned around to be good for you though and you got the feeling back! I sure will have to try and remember to make sure I don't let them give me that stuff I have enough weird/numb feeling and I sure wouldnt want to add fire to the vajaja lol but at least I would feel something I guess that could be a good thing lol
Alright all joking aside , I do hope you start feeling better and they find out what is going on with your husband! You take care care and I hope to talk to you soon! Have a good day! HUgs, Michelle
PS I thought Greys was good as always, can't wait to see what happens on the 2hr special and the spin off......
Hello to you! Well I can see why it's been a while. I REALLY hope the new meds stay consistent and you feel better for more than a few hours.
Laughter itself can be a good medicine :)

Sorry to hear you had such a rough time at least you got to the bottom of it. I hope the new meds continue to help you it sure is good to feel like our old selves at times. Maybe that catheter would help you continually, like you said it is something to think about. Well take care of yourself and rest up. Hugs, michelle

Well hello , good to hear from you! Sorry that it was not the best news but I am happy to see they are trying to help and I hope you are still feeling like your old self and still laughing....laughter is the best medicine!! So did you get the IV cathader? Hope so and that you are doing much better! You take care. Hugs, Michelle
