This is something!!
 

Of course, I have prayed for you, but...... four days with the unit off? And you feel back to the good ole self? That is well....... miraculous!!! So do you go for a revision, or go for a "guess what I turned it off" conflab with the Doc in charge?

Mark56:hug:

THAT is the question of the day!
I certainly can't 'leave' the migrated lead as is....
yes indeed this is really a predicament.

I will go fetch the lengthy 'draft' I had spewed and I'll paste it over on my thread.

Hey Jackiey
 

Our daughter, Em, is 18 and our youngest as well..... downstairs just now making up some Italian for us, smells good. Well..... about time to go eat. You stay well! And warm there in cold cold Ireland!!

Day before Xmas Eve
 

Well its the day before Christmas Eve, how I love Christmas Eve the most.

Well Ive have an awful week to be honest. Yes we had a great night at the party....ahem........but boy am I paying for it now!!!. Also it just hasnt stopped snowing, can you believe it, we have snow since last week in November and its still snowing here now as I write. We have a foot of snow out in our garden.....unheard of here in Ireland.....and blooming cold....-10C brrrrrrr

Im putting all this together thinking, ok, the party took it out of me...no I wasnt up dancing btw.,, but I was mingling with our guests as one does. So I was bending over saying 'hi' and generally making sure that Nicola's friends were being well looked after. So on Monday I was pooped. But I just got up and on with things. I thought everything would be ok........but by the end of Monday into Tuesday I was just in so much pain. Both in my legs and in my back. The stim just wasnt hitting all the spots for me. Now I did go out walking with my daughter yesterday (wednesday) in the snow with our little dogs, yes I know Im a sucker for punishment, but thought hey its fine...its only snow........

Well I was in my bed by 8pm, I was aching so much. I popped as much pain relief as my body would take and PRAYED all would be ok in the morning. I had a very restless night but you know what this morning I felt so much better....obviously walking in the snow takes its toll on muscles and also on 'failed backs'.......I think Ive learned my lessons now. I have to realise that although I THINK I feel up to doing what I want, I cant, well not as much as Id like to or as much as I PUSH myself to do.......

My husband, who I might add is very good, but he was annoyed with me last night saying that I was bringing it all on myself, wandering out in the snow etc....I know he was right, but you know I was getting cabin fever stuck in for so long and I love to walk every day.....

Im praying that everything will settle down over the coming days. As soon as Christmas and New YEar is over Im making an appointment to meet with my Pain Doctor to get some reprogramming done and to ask him some advice too. My battery area yesterday was very tender and in fact it was piercing me somewhat....if that makes sense....its fine today and the sensations are still in the same place as always(Im just hearing Rae saying....hmmm lead migration) so thats in my mind too....but definitely gonna have it all checked out in 2011....:)

So on that note I will wish you all a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS and a HEALTHY and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Take care everyone ......Happy Holidays......

So Good to hear from you!
 

Oh Jackie!
I had a gut feeling you were having a rough time of it! :hug:
Hadn't seen you on here much and OH MY it is so CRAZY that you are being hammered with all this snow! We've heard about it on our local News!

I'm sorry you're in such a flare. I'm sure you've read my latest rants on 'my thread'.....I'm in the same boat basically.
I'm actually rather bummed out laying here on my bed with this laptop, because I still have a few gifts I need to be out buying but I'm BEAT!! :eek:
I did so much running around yesterday.....and like you say, we pay for it the next day! I even wore my lumbar 'belt', but still I have no energy.
My precious grandson is ONE month old today! ..... I'm praying for God to give me the energy to get off my bum and BE NANA!!

I think I have 1 or 2 patches left.....I'll probably have to put one on and wait for it to kick in, and that'll be my only hope for living up to the potential of giving my family a decent Christmas Eve tomorrow!! I'll be out at the 24 hour stores at midnite probably getting the last minute things.

My heart is with you Jackie. We certainly are TRYING. It's really a challenge sometimes.
Maybe you could ask your hubby to build a nice BIG snowman for ya....
Then you can put a 'frying pan' on it's head......you know :rolleyes: for a 'hat'.......yeah.

We're in this together!
So glad to hear from you!
Rae
:hug:

Jackiey you take care
 

Oh, to hear you are in pain along with Rae, Sarah, Tara, well, almost everyone, Jenna, to name another, gee. I just hope and pray that among your Christmas blessings is a relief from pain. Relief, you get that right God?
OK!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Prayin,

Snow is snow more :)
 

Hi everyone

THanks for you good wishes.......I am feeling much better....all seems to have calmed down again. And my stim is working just nicely for the past few days so thats also a plus....

Snow has finally taken a hike, we have had lots of rain...some snow still remains but at loooong last we can walk out again. I was so scared to walk because it was so icy and then wet on top of that. So today I went out for a good walk with my dogs. To blow off all those Xmas cobwebs:D

Mark I wish you the very best in your new home, AM I right in thinking it may be tomorrow your moving , well I hope it all goes well for you and your family:hug:

Hope you are all having a lovely holiday and looking forward to 2011

Wishing you all a really healthy, painfree, New Year and hope we ALL will be more positive with the New Year!!!

Jackie:hug:
