My very best wishes to you, i hope you get in early
good luck

Thank you all and your all wonderful. I actually talked to the intake yesterday and she said there may be a cancelation next week or in at least the next few. I told her I will drive there in the middle of the night if I have to. It is only 3 hours away. Sue that was funny. I said I would walk out the door then. I have been pushing the past few days to get ready and am at least able to as before rarely left the bed but the pain is so horrible. I come home crying and back to the vicadin after one or two places. The dizzy and neck though feel better when up but the ankle/foot just feels like it will explode.Some of the dizzy they say may be from meds especiallu the on and off of vicadin. I have so much anxiety and fear it will get worse by doing this and doing more. I'm trying to take 1 day at a time. Its hard when the pain sets in to where I can barly make it to the rest room. So up and down but trying to stay positive and more hopeful. Thank you again for your thoughts and wishes.

I just wanted to let you all know my date was moved to Mon and then if all goes I should start that day. I'm so nervous and anxious. I'm obsessing too which I hate. Trying to stay calm and hopeful. I will keep you all updated. I hope all goes smoothly and accepted and in the long run helps with relief and a direction towards a more normal less painful life.Thank you

Now i'm sure you will do fine,and this is just to important to let a panic

And the plus part is it's not far from home and i know you can do it.
I was a cheerleader in High School that was back in the push um back
way back, just keep saying that to any panic attacks. Please get soom rest
and let us help you if we can, which means keep in touch. You do this
and i'll tell you about my date with the Dr. on Sat. that should put you
in a world of laugter.. Sue

Thank you all your so amazing. I too have had panic attacks and I agree not fun. I know I can work on my coping mechanisms to get through that. Just hard to shut my mind off when in pain,anxious,can't sleep. I had to do a few more things which in the past 4 days i have done more the in the past 5 months so my leg is going to explode in pain. I so hope I am not making more damage. It hurts so much. I know I need to do this and just hope all goes well and accepted with relief.Sue I didn't know you have a date on Sat. I will be all ears. Is he a neuro that would be perfect. Just kidding. I used to joke about marring a therapist so for free therapy.Silverlady how are you feeling? You have such a great sense of humor and all of you are so amazing.
Thank you all.You all make me feel less alone and I hope everyone there is nice like our family here.

Daniella,
Thanks for asking. I'm o.k. got the meds back in my system. I'm still sitting on my buzzsaw which is very distracting. But it's o.k. It's been there for two years inspite of everything we've done to try to remove it.

Are you all packed and ready to go? I know you are excited. Hopefully it will open the gates to the rest of your life. And I for one wish it to be a really good one. Keep eating and living healthy. You'll get there.

Thanks your so sweet. I'm glad your hanging in there. I'm sort of packd but have all my stuff. I'm in a lot of pain today from doing so much for me which is a couple errands extra. I really fear I'm making it worse. Trying to stay in the moment cause all the what if;s or if it doesn't help you know. I'm trying to think positive and am willing to work as hard as it takes. Thanks for the encouragment and trust me I'm an eating machine. You could not imagine. Take care.

Maybe she could rent a bus for this trip... Then we could all run up there and ride over to Cleveland with her. We could even take Sue's Bob with us... This would be great support!!! I am positive we could get in a LOT of trouble there. I know there are a few on this board, besides myself, who are, no doubt, quite capable of that... MrsD would have to go, because she always keeps us out of real trouble...

3-5 week vacation in Cleveland... A bunch of people with PN... Hmmm... I don't know if Cleveland is ready for this or not... Heh heh heh....

Take care,
