Hi Craig want to know if you are taking and have been taking since surgery any calcium? and if so how much and is it Calcium Citrate....calcium carbonate causes kidney stones and isnt good for us at all in other ways. .....and the back problems were probably there because of the weight you carried for awhile...i know mine is and even tho we might not have noticed the pain too much , because we didnt do anything....it was still there.
good luck in finding out what is going on and anything to help it. Me i take two naproxin sodiums and a previcid every morning. helps with the pain doesnt get rid of it just makes it bearable...
good to hear from you again....take care and come back more often.

 Just got great news,they took the trach out and my brother actually spoke a few words. Major improvement that he is breathing on his own. Prayer works. They should be moving him soon to the VA hospital since he is not going to be needing ICU anymore.

well Tuesday is about over and i havent posted until now but dont think it makes much difference , when there are 60 views and only one response gets sort of discouraging...oh well cant get people to join in with our group if they just dont want to....
'There are some awesome people on here and if anyone needs them im sure they will be there for them ....

Weather surely is awfully cold for this time of year isnt it? looks like it is going to be an early and cold winter. no telling what is going to happen this year....i would really like to get the two tall elms in my front yard cut before we leave out. the limbs just break off so much. and like i have said before one of them is split a lot already ....altho the other night with all the wind nothing but a couple of small limbs broke off. ....

well finally they are suppose to come after the trailer tomorrow morning early...i hope they are early since Joe has a doctors appt at 2 and i have a company Christmas party at 2 , they are giving us our bonus checks and Christmas club checks too....great dont know what or how much but they pay you by how many hours you have worked.

calling for freezing drizzle in our neck of the woods tomorrow afternoon , good grief i sure hope the trailer company gets here after the thing before it gets bad. so they will get it out of here. tired of looking at it. ....will have a good place to plant something in next year lol ...

well going to get off here and see what is on tv. hope i can see you all a little earlier tomorrow.

We are keeping your brother and all of you in our prayers. Keep the faith.
Lana

Susie we will keep praying ,,, so glad that your brother is getting better day by day. hopefully he wont have to stay there much longer...
