solved some

 

Pain level a 5 or 6. Slow improvement. I took 1/3 of a muscle relaxer last night and it made me (more) fruity. It was like coming out from under anesthesia. I am glad I didn't take a full one. The good old teaspoon/teacup rule. I did sleep well though. About time for more physical therapy. I don't remember how did you get rid of your sciatica Liz?

some mystery

 

I can't like any posts today, it says I've reached my limit!!! wahhhhhhhhhhhh!  I must have done this in my sleep!

[TryinginFL]

some did

 

 

FH, my sciatica was caused by a back problem and after 6 weeks it started to ease up on its own.  I took many Hydrocodone however.  I would say my pain level was a 10 1/2 and unbelievably I actually cried (first time I can remember crying due to pain as an adult)  Labor was a piece of cake compared to this    My new pain doc said that if that flares up again, I am to come into the office immediately and he will take care of me - no appointment necessary

 

Apparently I have a cyst that could have been there for years...

[fishinghat]

did not

 

Sounds like what happened to my wife a few times during her back issues. I remember times that she would scream in pain from either the back or sciatica. That is a rough ride. I would rate my pain at 9 in the beginning and now about a 6 (still no fun). lol

[KathyInFL]

not fun

 

I wish you didn't have any pain fishinghat.  I hope it goes away very fast!

 

I was in pain once, I was in the ER at 3am and they hid me in a back room and I think they forgot I was there. I got off the gurney and was crawling on the floor screaming in pain. I had a ruptured appendix.

[fishinghat]

fun NOT

 

That's terrible Kathy!! You would just want to strangle them.

 

My pain is slowly letting up. Time and patience.

[gail]

Not sure

I'll stick with time and patience. Brain fried here.

Hi friends, I don't know how long I have left here. But in case, I want to make sure that you all know what a big part you played in my life for more than four years. The fun I had with you, the Max and Sid and brandy and cigar sagas.


The support, prayers, info Einstein! What a blessing it is to have you met you all.
Thanks Ken for the forum, for letting it continue it's task.

I am well supported, thank you God for that. Not invasivily, just the right proportion.
I had my thorax scan today to see if it has invaded elsewhere. Results tomorrow.

I will be back with the results, meantime, let's try for some sleep.

[fishinghat]

If it be so then an angel will be returning home for rest. My heart and soul will miss you but don't give up hope yet.

 

[TryinginFL]

I echo FH's beautiful words - prayers for you, my dear friend

 

[gail]

Update not possible,

Sweet words, thank you. Scan was not analised yet. Some say tis and others say tat.
Neurosurgeon tomorrow, they are in a bind, having never in their lives seen this condition. There will be a test done in the nuclear department.

I know less that I knew yesterday, same for them.
Flapping my wings and off to bed. I love you xxx

Time off.

 

I wanted to take this time to say...

"Thank you FishingHat for all that you do.!!!  After all the angling you do for so many, I hope you find "time off" this weekend to find your perfect angle.."

Happy Fourth to all.

Unfortunately, the fireworks are set off at the lake behind my house and Sherman wigs out and shakes

 

They are legal down here so everyone and their brother is setting them off til all hours of the nite...

[fishinghat]

hole punch

 

The city here recently passed a bill allowing fireworks again (they were banned about 20 years ago). In the town meeting the they said the risk of burning down a house was an acceptable risk. Good grief.

[TryinginFL]

punch out

 

 

An acceptable risk???

 

I swear this country is slowly going insane...

[fishinghat]

out done

 

It is past insane.  At least we have Cymbalta to blame.  Hmmm   I wonder if that is their excuse too!!??
