Dr appointment yesterday

[lynne b]

Seen the back Dr yesterday, he gave me 3 options #1 was continue with the shot's and hope they work, you are only allowed to have 3 shot's , i've already had 1 and didn't see much change so would only be able to get 2 more. 2nd option was surgery and i realize there is always the chance that may not work, 3rd coice is live with it and see if it repaires it self, i guess the nerve would just die off and i could still have problems with pain & numbness which i am having right now. I can't sit comfortably because of the pain in my leg kinda like a charlie horse all the time in my upper thigh, the hill of my foot gets numb, you know how it feels when your foot falls asleep, i can't stand on my tippy toes, and i lose my balance easily i guess just trying to protect my leg from the pain, and stretching is out of the question because it is so painful, and walking any distance is not a pretty site either. hubby gave me heck i am down to 93 lbs, i told him he has to remember how much energy i am useing just to get around, i do eat. I opted for the surgery i just want to be done with all of this, i have the surgery done this Monday, i am kind of nervous only kind of surgery i have ever had is a tubal years ago. I am glad i can get it done this early because i have a litter of pups due around the 6th of July and this will give me about a week to get back on my feet before the puppies come. Oh yeah it will be done as an out patient procedure so i will be home the same day if nothing goes wrong. Would apperciate any prayers you could send my way that all goes well....Thanks Lynne

I'll be praying for you, Lynne. On a note of encouragement, one of my aunts had back surgery earlier this month and she's doing great. She was teaching and had to quit because the pain was so bad, but I've heard nothing but good reports about how she's doing. I'll be praying that you get those good reports as well. Hugs.

I'm glad you are getting things repaired. It sounds like you are miserable so hopefully you'll get quick relief!

Lynne, I hope the surgery works right away. You are so brave to take that option instead of waiting it out.

I will be praying for you.

You already know how I feel...LOL...I call her just about everyday...lol. I'm surprised she hasn't changed her number. Don't forget...I'm here whenever you need me. I know your daughters and Keith work. I was going to type for you to call me, but I'll be over so I can see how you're doing myself after the surgery.

Oh Lynne! I'm so sorry that you have to have surgery - but I'm glad there is a less invasive option. I hope everything goes superbly well! I'll be waiting with baited breath to see how you are doing. I know that Janet will keep us posted, won't you Janet!

[Janet]
