No doubt in my mind that you can move mountains dear Mark!
We're behind you all the way!

You are on FIRE about this! God has empowered you to do great things.....this is why I am more than CERTAIN that the enemy tried it's hardest to bring you down back when you were sinking further into that sea of depression. You've risen above all that and now God has granted you POWER!

Let nothing stop you!

Hi guys,

Anyone heard Karen, I've sent her a couple of Skype messages, I'll try the phone tomorrow?

I'll post properly tomorrow, it's 3:38 here and I'm gonna nod off, worst thing about anesthetic, sleep can be random.

Night night my friends

Sinéad :hug::hug: :)

Home after two weeks with pic line anti biotics and had bad reaction to oral ones I am supposed to take too. X x x love to all

Karen's BACK!
 

THANK GOD!

It's unbelievable what you've been through.
You are a tough woman, a fighter, and blessed of GOD.
Now's your time to rest up and let your body heal.

I was SO happy to log on and see this!

Our little forum seems to be rather slow these days, but I'm sure when our friends come back, we'll want to throw a celebration for you......that is IF we can get Mark to stop moving mountains for a bit, so he can party :D
He is one busy man, I tell ya!

Many gentle (((HUGS))) to you Karen!

Hi Karen,
You poor girl, it seems that nothing is ever okay for you. Those pic
Lines can be terribly sore, I've never had one but I know people who've had them in.

At least your home now and you can be more comfortable, watch TV, eat what you want etc.. In terms of pain control where do you stand? I'm in a terrible pain, the surgeon my Consultant had in mind chickened out, but to be honest if a surgeon doesn't feel comfortable doing the surgery that's fine by me. Thankfully my consultant had contacted other surgeons so please good I'll hear something soon, but I have been in contact with my consultant.

Sinéad xxxx :)

Sinead & Karen
 

Prayers are coming across the pond for both of you. May Jesus heal both of you while easing the pain. My heart goes out to you. So much to handle.
Blessings,

Gerry:grouphug:

Hi guys
I'm sorry to butt in on Karen's thread but I feel kind homeless on NT and I dunno where to put anything,
As yee know im supposed to be going for surgery to remove an impingement at the S1 nerve root. My Consultant is having trouble tring to pin down a surgeon to get a date.... .
I've told my Consultant a million times over the last few days that im in really bad pain and I can't walk.... He's decided to bring me in for a nerve block and now they know where they're going it bbworks better and for longer.

No idea how long he's going to keep me in, it should onl be an overnight job.

So that's my update for now, and sorry Karen for butting in

Zzzzzz
Sleepie time, nighty night :)

Sinead, I would doubt Karen, or anyone would think you are butting in. Please keep
us informed. Maybe the nerve block, along with some extra knowledge will be successful. We do want to know how both you and Karen are doing; and if it be in the same thread.....so be it .We get to hear about both of you so far, but yet, ever so close.

As always, our thoughts and prayers are with both of you.

Gerry

I certainly don't mind x x x

Am back on morphine sulphate twelve hourly slow release with Ora morph for breakthrough pain.

Omeprazole for stomach protector
Tamazepam rotated with zopiclone for sleeping
Amatriptylinne 40mg nightly
Movicol to cough, help me to GO.
Bisocodyl to help me go too.
Diazepam 10mg for back spasm relief

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Mum got me some TONIC .. Metatone (at first I thought she shouted, I've got you some methadone .. I said mum, do you not think I'm on enough drugs???) this is full of vitamins and a pick me up after illness.

Ive got to go to hospital on Thursday next for an ultra sound as I suffered a prolapse after the last op as I was unable to pee without pushing down hard .. Oh hum. This requires another operation, and I hope to get that done within the month .. Then I can relax. Hopefully.

Feel bright in the morning, but after a couple of hours I am shattered. It's so very frustrating.

Not had the stim on much as my mind is a bit pessimistic at the moment and I want to be in a good place before trying it out. At the moment it grips my waist, where th leads are, like a vice, and makes my back pain worse. BUT it is going down the left leg ONLY, which is brilliant.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and good thoughts ... When I was in hospital with this infection, there was a time when I was lay in bed and "felt" people at the bottom of the bed, standing there .. My fater in law and step dad were the clearest, then my dad . Then his mum ... And beyond them were others I couldn't make out ... But I felt a surge of strength/energy and comfort. I like to think that was you all being there for me ... I cannot thank you enough.
