Hello Friends:
Well, after undergoing lumbar nerve blocks and trigger point shots, I found out from my neurosurgeon that the pain mgt. doc should have never done the trigger point shots, as I am not allowed to have ANY anti-inflammatories until the fusion is healed. UGH! And...the pain mgt. doc never told me he doesn't work with the thoracic spine, after telling me in my initial consultation that he 'believes in treating the entire spine', thus, the lumbar nerve blocks, which I feel I didn't need! Ugh!
Anyway, I saw another pain mgt. specialist on Wednesday. He believes I have received terrible care. He will do a thoracic epidural w/catheter procedure on May 5. And, barring no problems, I can return to work on May 12th. It will be 5 months to the day (May 12) that I have been off work. I am praying that this treatment works so I can feel comfortable at work.
That's about it...praise God for working in my life. He knows best. And will work on my behalf.

Sanctus Real - Whatever You're Doing
It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
All I can do is surrender
(Chorus)
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something heavenly
Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Revaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow your will
or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is you want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...
(Chorus)
Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to to release all my held back tears
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Whatever you're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see
This something bigger than me
Larger than life something heavenly
Something heavenly
It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time breathe in and let everything out

That's too bad that you had to go through the incompetency of the first doctor. I pray that this new doc will be able to get you back to feeling good. I had a cortisone shot once in my lower spine and it went badly. The doc hit a nerve and I felt like an electric shock run down my leg into my big toe. I couldn't walk for 5 days after without having excruciating pain. I will keep you in my prayers for this new procedure to work for you. :) Cheryl
