Is it next Monday that you are doing it?
You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

Christine, best of luck Monday! I sure hope everything comes out well, and you can live the life you were meant to.

This one coming up in 4 days. My check in time is at 6 pm. Yes evening hours. I was fit in by my doctor. Either my mom made him feel guilty or it was me calling in pain having drama from my primary. Or it was both. But all I know is that on Tues. I received a call from his scheduler stating your doctor wants you to have your surgery done Monday Aug. 20, are you available? Of course was my reply. So that's how quickly it was set.

My mom works at Kaiser and sees my pain doc every Monday, well she stated, "it is hard to have my daughter call me at 10 pm in pain and there is nothing I can do to help her." Then she said, "do you have children?" He said no, and she said well it is difficult. And during the trial, he remembers her starting to cry and say how happy I sounded and that I haven't sounded that happy since my injury.

Hugs, meds kicking in need to take a nap.

crpscure - welcome to the boards - I hope you find as much support and useful information as I have.

Hugs.

Everyone here is so sweet and I appreciate more than you know all your kind wishes and prayers.

And yes, I am scared, very scared. So since I am, I am completely flared up right now. Thank goodness for a wonderful pain management doctor who understands my pain and a wonderful Urgent Care doctor who had major compassion for me.

I will be checking in after my surgery, but of course not right away. I will also post pictures to, but I will warn you in case you get queasy.

Hugs to all of you. You mean so much to me and to my sanity.
