Going for ANOTHER xray!
 
Hello all!:D Well, my back problems are back (no pun intended) with a vengeance!:mad:

I was lifting a bag of potatoes and threw my back out - what a joke! It would be funny if it weren't so sad.......:(

Needless to say I've been on my back with a lidocain patch and heating pad for the last couple of days - housebound - YUCK!

So I called my neuro and he wants me to have an xray this weekend - he will be out of town until Tues, but called on my cell this morning to make sure I am going in.....what a doll! :D Did I mention that I love that man? :D

Anyways, going in to make sure it isn't a compression fracture (my neuro is very worried about that) - not looking forward to it!

Wish me luck!
Erin:D

Erin,
You poor thing ... one thing after another for you. Your doctor does sound like a dream. Get plenty of rest and let that wonderful hubby take good care of you.
Take care ~ Mel

I am so sorry to hear that Erin.:( I hope you aren't in too much pain. Too bad you Mary don't live near each other...you could keep each other company while you both recoup from your backs.:D Good luck with the xray and let us know how you make out. I'll be thinking of you.:) Take care & rest.

Hugs,
Pat

Erin, you have been in pain with your back for so long, they better check that x ray twice, yours doesn't want to heal.
Pat what a great idea, I would love to have Erin around, what a hoot ! LOL.....

Don't worry about me!
 
Hello all! Don't worry about me - I'm a tough old bird! It's going to take something more than a few infections and bad back to really get me down!:D

It's all relative - when I start to feel sory for myself I just think of others and the struggles THEY are going through and it snaps me out of it - pronto!

I also have a true dream of a dr - b/4 he left town he called cell to cell to make sure I was taken care of......oh what a guy! I totally have a HUGE platonic crush on him - though I am happily married.......I guess it's just hero worship since he saved my life! LOL:D MY hubby loves him as much as I do! We just sit around telling Dr. I stories - I will be eternally grateful - does that sound too mushy?:D

My son is home now too! He was with my sis for 2 weeks! 2 weeks! In 17 yrs we haven't been apart that long! I hated that! The house was too clean and quiet! I must have almost smothered him with kisses and hugs and keep telling him how much I missed him and love him! Poor kid! He just wants to play video games and there I am! :D

Anyway, please don;t worry about me. i'm going to be just fine! This is just a little bump in the road..........@ least I'm stll around to experience it!

Big, big hugs!
Erin:D

Ouchee!
 
That's the spirit, Erin! Those bumps build character, right! Boy with all the bumps we've all experienced we must be the biggest bunch of characters around!;)

And don't let your son fool you. It ain't cool to show it, but he loves the sMother loves!:cool:

It's probably good you and Mary can't lay around together. You'd probably injur yourselves worse laughing at stuff!:D

Seriously, though, if that xray isn't conclusive, maybe you should ask for an MRI. This was too easy to injur again and could be a ruptured disc which won't show up on Xray. It may give a hint, but won't tell the whole story.

Hope you get feeling better soon, hon! SMOOCH!! and :hug:
