Husband May Have Surgery!!

Emmsmom · 03-19-2007, 03:48 AM

I hope everything works out well. ((HUGS))

You all have just made me cry so hard!!! You all are right, there is no need to worry as of yet. I need to wait and see what the test results are and then what the Dr. feels is necessary. I know Rick is in pain and it probably is alot of the reason for his lack of help. I know this logically. I want him to feel better and not be in pain.

I was so afraid of sounding selfish, but not one of you made me feel that way. I honestly am just feeling afraid....the unknown....the 24/7. I have to remember if he stayed in this condition, the 24/7 probably would be hell. But if it will make him feel better, it won't be so bad.

Thank you all so much for being the best friends anyone could ever ask for. I appreciate your thoughts, your prayers, your kindness and your willingness to let me sound off until we know what is in store for us.

I truly love you all very much.

Janet, my husband was off work for 5 months last year with back problems. I can SO relate!

Greg ended up getting cortisone injections, which helped some, and then went for physical therapy. He still has some problems, but is much improved.

I really hope your hubby is able to get help other than surgery too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I can relate to this Janet, my husbands lower disc's are fused together caused by his job however was able to control the pain by phisio (sp) and sometimes meds.

A couple of years ago his back pain got worse and went down his leg he went to the dr and it was his hip so had a hip replacement.

The pain all went in the back hip and leg just sometimes maybe when he does to much like this weekend put a lot of fence panels up he was in some pain but on resting is okay.

I had him home for six month's at the begining found it hard but once into a routine was sad when he went back to work.

So do not panic may be not so bad, any way you can moan to us all here.
Good luck to you both.

Janet, I haven't read everything yet that's been posted but I know that the Lord has you and your family in the palm of his hand and there's nothing to worry about.

Isaiah 41:10 (The Message)

Don't panic. I'm with you.
There's no need to fear for I'm your God.
I'll give you strength. I'll help you.
I'll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.

This scripture is something that I need tonight. I'm so worried about my daughter and this speaks to me too. I'll be praying for your situation!!

Just to keep you all updated....hubby goes for his MRI Monday at 6:30 AM and then on Wednesday will get the results. Hopefully there will be an alternative to surgery, but if not...he is sooooo ready to get pain free he'll do anything.

Janet, I am keeping my fingers crossed for no surgery for your hubby! We're here for you no matter what happens, but I'm sure everything will work out just fine.
