Good mornin everyone! Coming to you from the surgical suite...hoping I can spring outta this place around 8. Looooord I wanna go home! I'm all kinds of sore now from the uncomfortable bed and the morphine wearing off.
Good news is though...it worked! I got about 65 to 80% relief in my back. My legs wee not as helped but I think a lot of that is how I have to walk and such to handle the discomfort in my back. Bad news is that I'm probably looking at early next year for the actual pain pump installation. Also the antibiotics they had to give me made me sick and gave me a huge headache. They gave me liquids through the iv and Tylenol...it took care of it. Though my stomach is still pretty upset. The guy who had a trial too grunts all the time...allllllll night. He said it was a great success for him though. He had extremely high blood pressure issues.
I love those cookies JB! Sooo stinkin cute!
QOTD: it depends on the person. I've been burned way too many times and used. I'm a firm believer if they are toxic to you...no matter how much you may want that relationship (like say my father) I know how it always ends.
food is way up in the air.
my pics are random and a certain failed squirrel pumpkin....also Edna P...my mom I super proud of that LOL

I'm glad it went well! Hopefully it won't take as long as they say because now you know it will work!

Opps...I forgot to say I am home! I went home around 8. It's weird, I only had to stay because of morphine. It was just a shot into my spine(which despite "sedation" I felt every bit of it). I'm starting to have sedation wear off extremely fast.
still feeling icky this morning but it could be far worse and the only thing that is really bothering me is my throat and my left ear. With our weather here and a lack of a freeze I still think it's really just starts with allergies.
thanks so much for the well wishes!

Good morning everybody!
Happy Fri-yay! I am in the airport waiting to board for Denver and then on to Lubbock. I think I get to the hotel at about 2:00.
We have dinner reservations tonight, winery and the game tomorrow and I fly home Sunday.
Marilyn bought 62 pieces of candy for Monday. Based on last year that won't be enough, so she probably needs to Resupply.
QOTD: Not a forgiver. It can take a lot to push Me, but once it's over, it's over.
Have a great day, all!
