Had a couple of deaths hit our family and very close friend folk over the weekend, so I have been busy and a bit melancholy. Lurking I reckon you might say.

I pray all is going to be well with you and the family.... and that the ablation thingie will help, while holding out for the thoughts you are ruminating regarding pain pump....

Yeah,
Prayers abundantly...

Yep I'm here too but lurking. Life is good if overdoing it with my new house, garden and all that's happening. Plus minding my beautiful grandchildren while their mum goes back to work. She is a school teacher so hours are good. It's a trial period of 6 weeks!!!! Lets hope ill be ok

Still keeping up with all that's happening too

Still here.
Insurance sent me to PT wich resulted ina trip to the ER. Then I went to see ortho and he says no more PT.
Seeing my pain clinic today and I am sure she will concur

SO I expect I will be going back out to insurance early next week...

Huge pain due to PT so I have been to medicated to write

thanks pooh...it is time for a shout out...world events make me want to take an accounting of all things loved.
My biggest hold back on posting ..because I am always lurking is that my laptop keyboard has a pretty vindictive mind of it's own...things change font...delete (the worste) even the mouse changes to other paragraphs soooo it gets pretty darn aggrivating. My destktop is ready to be set up although since moving in I am overwhealmed znd have not been able to set up the office.
My dream garden.......all the while I was in recovery I was spending my settlement money on a garden and a home...well got them both now and I could sleep inmy garden I love it so much...that is where I do my praying for us.
I am following closly the discussion on hip pain behind batteries as that is where I have my greatest pain...my SCS is starting to fail..I am getting way stronger...I even mowed the lawn----I have a key starter and self ropelled so kinda like a lawn mower taking me for a walk!!

LOL...so I hope this is readable as I am not going to chang it so you can see my wacky keyboard....
much love to all

Like everyone else, I am dealing with many things too. Having issues with my SCS's and increased RSD pain everywhere (NOT because of the SCS, just coincidental). Finally applied for SSD to get that in since there is a 5-month backlog. Have not filed my appeal to the disability insurance carrier that denied me yet, but now have all of my medical records to do so. Having trouble finding a lawyer to handle the disability insurance appeal...these lawyers handle employment benefits and are not as plentiful as SSD lawyers.

We put our house on the market a few months ago, but decided to refinance it when I got my 401(k) money. We close tomorrow on the refi and I am very happy about that! I love my house and it is hard to find a rancher that you really love. So, I will not have to worry about moving

Sending well wishes and prayers to all of you!

Also lurking. I am recovering from the cervical implant and some other medical issues popping up. I also have been fighting my work. I know they are firing me, but they are NOT making things easy for my recovery. I'm still having to turn in lesson plans, grade, etc. the only difference is now I'm doing it for free. My pain levels are up due to weather and stress. Anyway, I see others having some issues as well. Hope things get better!

Hi everyone! I love to read what's happening to you all. I've only been diagnosed for 3+ months so I don't have as much advice to offer. I should offer the encouragement "in print" that I pray for everyone.
I have 1-2 more nerve blocks to try before moving toward a SCS, so I have been following everyone's experiences with that.

dear TK,

i wondered what i would do
i would submit work for the disable
and find out in your contract
and medical contract
i would surely scream
discrimination by no fault of your own
and a form of
retaliation
you are not the
one who is giving up your position
may it be
there be some other job
you may be able to do
i hope i got that out right


God is with you!
