Pam,

Was your Mother able to be there with you?

I can somewhat relate of sorts what you are going through. When my L4-5 vertebrae slipped, the disc caused pressure on the spinal cord. I remember it was almost impossible to move without just about screaming.

Hopefully by now they were able to get a canal in your veins. Not the same having the morphine injections. For me the morphine injections were like having nothing for pain; which also seems the same for you since you are having absolutely no relief.

I know you are worried about what is going on with DB especially his feeling of helplessness. He must be somewhat relieved you have been admitted into the hospital.

Pray you continue to have the strength and courage to cope with all you are going through.

Gerry
