No Pain!
Oh, that's awesome, Kathy!!!! Praying that it just gets better and better.
-- Jalynne - Keeper of the Quilt for ME club list Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne "Kathy N-V" wrote in message .com... For the first time in I don't know how long, I'm not about to cry with pain. It's still there, a little, but the pain has reduced enough for me to force it out of my consciousness. For me, this is *huge.* I went to YA doc yesterday, and he gave me some muscle relaxants. I had taken Flexoril in the past, and reported that it had done nothing for the pain, but just made me so stoned I didn't care. He gave me a newer medicine, Robaxin, which is supposed to make you less dopey, and is having me boost it with Ultram and Vioxx. (A pain med and an anti-arthritis drug) I'm drowsy, to be sure, but I hope that will pass. But to be in such a small amount of pain that I can think about other things first is so amazing. It's only a short term solution, until I go see the surgeon in a month. Feh. I'm probably not going to get away without another operation, but I'll fight to keep it as low-key as possible, and not the drastic spinal fusion/Harrington rod nightmare I've been hearing about. Now, I just have to remind myself that the bad stuff that hurts is still there, and I shouldn't go overboard just because the pain is lessened for now. I realized that I hadn't been miraculously cured overnight when I tried to play ball with Sophie this morning. And no, there are no miraculous cures that will enable me to do housework. Ever.

No pain... how wonderful for you! That means you have energy to give to the
things you love instead. Are you really sorry to have to give up housekeeping? Diana "Kathy N-V" wrote in message .com... For the first time in I don't know how long, I'm not about to cry with pain.

along after I'm done....sigh. -- Jalynne - Keeper of the Quilt for ME club list Queen Gypsy (snail mail available upon request) see what i've been up to at www.100megsfree4.com/jalynne "Kathy N-V" wrote in message .com...
