Yes, Sherrine! Happiest of birthdays to you! How wonderful to have Easter fall on your birthday (Easter's my favorite holiday)! :) Debbie...
Darla, I'm glad to hear you're managing to maintain your equilibrium, in spite of all the roadblocks standing in your way! Good for you! I'm not good at that these days, I'm afraid...I tend to go...
Darla, Well, it sounds like a mixed bag - not great pain control but could be worse - ? Maybe that's all we can hope for these days...and it shouldn't be that way!! But since it is, you're right - we...
Thinking of you, Darla - wondering how you're recovering... Hopefully, well! Debbie...
I hear you! The same thing happened to me the last time! I think I raised the question of additional meds briefly, but the surgeon's attitude was that the pain would be taken care of by what I was...
Darla, Yes, it sounds like your surgery will be quite similar to mine. "Only" one more week to go! Of course, a week feels like forever when you're in serious pain. Is there anything that helps at...
Hi Darla, I'm so sorry to hear you're going to have to go through this surgery. Reading this thread made me go back and look at the report of my 2012 discectomy - still haven't gotten back the report...
Darla, I wouldn't say I'm not any better at all...at least now I can function again, walk around (a little) and drive. If I couldn't do that, I think I'd lose what little I have left of my mind ;)...
Nice to meet you too, Darla :) Yeah, I'm pretty excited. They don't have a date set yet, but tomorrow we look at dresses. This daughter has fantasized about her wedding since she was 3. She used to...
Hi, long time since I've been here but... A problem with finding comfortable shoes is one thing I can relate to...and how!! The only ones I wear these days (until my daughter's wedding, where it'll...
No, the ones I like (they're called Three Lakes) zip all the way up from the bottom. I like that because of the flexibility...sometimes I get hot and unzip it for a few minutes and then get cold...
I hate the cold too, with a purple passion. I live in undershirts, turtlenecks, and Columbia fleece jackets...literally every day, about 9 months out of the year. These jackets don't create static,...
Same to you, Luvz! Hoping everyone has a very happy, low-pain holiday. Debbie...
Hi, Luvz. Oh yes indeedy! I definitely smell smoke when no one around me does. I'm always smelling things in general that other people don't, and whatever I smell, it's intense...I can't use scented...
I hear you. With me it's usually when I've done a little - and I mean a little - extra with my body, such as carrying an object that weighs a pound or two for a few extra yards. No, I'm not kidding....
