I'm afraid things are no better.  I saw a  pain management doctor last Wednesday and got an injection in my back.  So far it hasn't helped at all.  I'm still in a lot of pain.  They said I have to wait two full weeks, sometimes it takes that long for the injection works.  The doctor already told me that I would need back surgery.  My biggest worry right now is if I can continue taking care of myself.  My daughter-in-law sends a plate of food over every night because I just can't move around much.  My legs are really weak and it's hard for me to get out of a chair.

Oh Carolyn,,,so sorry to hear you are having such a time of it.,. sending lots of prayers that you get some relief

Well, if that isn't a kick in the butt.  I am so sorry you are not getting relief.  And glad your DIL is near and bringing you meals.  It is so hard when you can't get around.  Here is hoping you do improve, sounds like surgery is in the picture. Hang in there!!

Well stay warn out there. I don't mind snow if I don't need to go anywhere. 

(((((((Carolyn))))))) prayers to continue.

I hope the injection kicks in and brings you relief.  They've come a long way with back surgery these days.  Two of my brothers-in law have had back surgery and got so much relief.  Of course, their issue may not be in the same area as yours.  Just thought you could use a little bit of positive news. 

Well, i was at one of the old ladies house, working on her Singer's tension, and she pulls out a drawer and says, Do you need any thread?  Well, i see wooden spools, and say-Sure-. So we go thru and I get some thread of different colors, and am trying to pull the wooden ones-hehe-thinking of you, Jonna.  Again, don't be in a hurry, but I have earmarked some wooden spools for you!!

Yikes!!!

We're in the 90's much of this week.  I can wait It's beautiful in the 80's.  Our dog Maggie is very anxious when the wind blows.  Today she's had xanax and is wearing her thunder vest.   They seem to help some.

You will need rehab after that surgery.  I hope it finally works for you.
