Big Big Hug To you David.

Good Morning,
My wife is away with her Mama. She left yesterday so I had the opportunity to take care of all the animals this morning. It wasn't too bad. I go back to work next week so I need to start doing some stuff. Me and Rocco spent the night in the Family Room so I wouldn't have to make the bed this morning. He wanted to get up at 2:00 AM...........wrong!!!

We had a good night. I'm healing good from the surgery. The SCS is hummin' away. Rocco is poopin' and peein' on the pee-pee pads. Life is good.

How is everyone else?????????? Let's get this thing moving today. Let us know.

Have a great day. I'll be back later.

Hugs,
David.

Good morning everyone,
The sun is shining here and the day looks good so far. Got woke up with a phone call at 8 but that's good, I was up at 6:30 and took my meds so I'm OK. I am waiting for a call from my pain Dr. today to go in for a new script. @Cherry - I wish I could share my amazing Dr. with you but I think Canada might be too far for you to travel.

Wishing everyone peace and happiness today - I know these things are so hard to hold onto with the pain we all deal with every day. Big Gentle hugs,
Lisa

Check-in: the last few days have been very rough. Pain levels in the six the-seven category. My family is all around me going on with her life and I'm just hobbling from one activity to the next. My MRI was negative which I guess is good and the PM doc's are increasing my narcotic medication. Sorry to be so down. The day is still beautiful and sunny and my family loves me. Hello to everybody here.
Hank

Almost forgot - Thank you so much for the congratulations. This little guy is actually my 4th grandchild and they all are the loves of my life. I will get to watch 2 of them this week while my dd goes to visit the other dd in the hospital. It's always a challenge to be alone with them for a few hours but my bf is right next door if I need help and it is worth it... I don't get to see them nearly as often as I'd like.

Hmmm...Lisa. I'm only a 40 minute drive from the border!

Well Cherry this pain clinic is in Charlottetown, PEI. His name is Dr. Desmond Colohan. Unfortunately he has an almost 1 yr waiting list (I got in in 9 months) and requires a referral. Not sure how your insurance would handle it either or if you'd have to pay for it yourself. If you want any more information let me know.

@Hank, I'm sorry your pain levels are so high. You have an amazing and positive outlook. Please don't lose that. Gentle hugs

yes hank, sorry to hear your pain levels are so high. it's really tough when thye get up there.
@ david, hope you had a nice night with adorable rocco. you make me smile sleeping on the couch so you don't have to amke the bed, but i understand. still =)
have pain appt today, a little anxious, but i hope the xrays and MRI will give him some clue. ate a decent dinner last night, took my ativan and a melatonin to so i got pretty good sleep with the usual 3x getting up for bathroom and stress dreams about money, but i'm getting used to those, too.
wish everyone a low pain day. hugs in all directions! and wishing for happy little moments through the day that give your heart a lift and your face a smile!

Good day to everyone

Gentle hugs to you all

Good morning, friends! I've been up since 3:30, struggling with some pretty bad pain in my neck and shoulder. I was really hoping the new med that I waited more than a week to get was going to suddenly make my life easier...harrumph. I keep getting my hopes up and then the disappointment sets in when it doesn't work.

I booked myself from 8:30 until 2:00 today. I don't know how I'm going to do hair when my right shoulder is killing me. It really shoots any hope to find joy in the day, but I will struggle through if I possibly can.

At 2:00...I will be lying on the couch.

My cat is sitting right in front of my monitor. I'm not sure if she has something to post or just wants to control my activities!

Hugs nd hopes for a nice day for all,
Cherry

I've got Rocco sleeping at my feet. A little stiff this morning, but I'm sure I'll loosen up. The reality of work next week is sinking in. I think I'm ready.

I hope everyone has a good day. Remember, without each other we wouldn't have a group.

David.

I have been really hurting the last couple of days and not sure if I am doing to much or to little as both have a effect on me I have to have a good balance to ease my pain and I cant seem to find my stride.

I'm the same Manny. But I know my extra pain is from doing too much this week. DD had a baby monday and I spent 8 hrs on my feet at the hospital, then yesterday I babysat 2 of my grandchildren for 3 hrs. They are 2 and 3 yrs old so don't require lifting too much but they keep me moving alot and no chance to lie down, even in the recliner. Today I will have them again for a few hours but daughter is good to come get them if I let her know I can't handle them any longer. Just means my evening is ruined and it will take me a few days to recover from this week.
This morning I have an appointment with my pain doctor to get a new script. The tramacet is not working at all and even the percocet isn't doing much now. Last night I was to the point of being barely able to walk to the bedroom even after taking my evening meds, I was pretty depressed about it. Hopeful today that he can prescribe something new that will work.
Hugs and peace to everyone today. Wishing you all a 'less pain' day.
Lisa

Good morning all. Sending healing prayers to ease your pain.

Feeling hyped up and scared. Had a bad migraine yesterday and took Imitrex and suddenly got hot and nauseated and choked up and neck all swollen. At night I couldn't sit still and even cleaned behind the stove before I realized I had to stop.

This morning I have migraine but I go in for radiation test and I'm scared of the poison that goes in my body. I know it is the only way to test for sure, but I'm so sensitive with the migraines. I'm scared. I want to take painkiller but not sure if I can take something. I have to miss an important meeting at work and I know they don't understand. I can't just tell everyone as this is a new company joining us.

I'm just this bundle of shaking painful bundle of nerves. I'm afraid of getting worse.
