Kathy,
Sure!
I've got a $10,000 Zimbabwe bill left. (that will get you about what I got for the US stuff, zip, squat!) I would have been better to just stay home this week.
The VA decided they were going to give me an anesthesiologist referral for a nerve block and gave me a script of tregatrol. Hope that doesn't mess up my vascular system more. Waiting for pain relief for months!
I was surprised that oxycodone was considered a second line on pain. That stuff doesn't do much on nerve pain or that traveling burning. They won't be giving me anymore I'm sure. I have a lesion on my fibula head that gives me a hard time. If I get a nerve block on my entire leg, that should fix that. If not, I'm going to ask for some kind of injection around that bone. That's why I had the foot surgery, hoping it would help my gait so my hip and knee would feel better. That's what I get for thinking again.
The nerve block should let me exercise at least for a while.
Praying too. Should have been listening to the man upstairs to begin with. I had all kinds of road blocks in the way of foot surgery and did it any ways. Puts a whole new perspective on "The stiff necked people of God". Thinking on my own again, lol. I look in the mirror and say to myself, "self, your looking at the problem".
Hope I'm not doing it again on the nerve block....Could be the gift that keeps giving. Oh! I already have that! I'm so lucky. That was sarcasm if you didn't notice. Good luck and God speed to everyone.

Sorry you had to come join our crew but you will find a lot of support here. I see this is your first post and I am concerned you'll get lost in this old thread.
