Update

Hello gang! I finally went to a surgeon last week that I felt comfortable. I will be having spinal fusion with decompression. I am excited to know when but scared at the same time. I want to be rid of some pain. Its terrible to be in pain despite all the drugs they have me on. I will still have the fibro pain to deal with but hopefully this will help so i am not in pain as much. Im told by some you just get used to some of the fibro pain, hope it will be the case for me. This disc pain is bad at times and fibro on top of it makes life really uncomfortable. I love to Poem  To Those who wish to know me...... for fibro. I get so tired of saying im in pain when someone asked only to be told to suck it up and go on with life or to have the subject quickly dismissed. Got to ask for help for alot since I live alone. People seem tired of helping me but I know God will take care of me. Supposed to get help with making room for my tree tomorrow. Prayers would be greatly appreciated.  Hugs and happy holidays, Shannon

Hi Shannon, My prayers are with you as you prepare for your surgery. Hopefully, you will get some relief. you are so right about the help thing, thankfully, I have a understanding DH who is willing to help with things when I am feeling bad. I do know what you mean though, when I ws single it was difficult to get things done. Family members were tired of me telling them about my pain long ago.                                               take care, hugs, Phyllis
