I was sent this box a few weeks ago and let me tell you, I am so glad I got it (so is my husband lol). I haven’t been able to take a shower but I needed to clean up somehow and standing up trying to wash myself up right now…
Originally posted 2014-05-05 14:03:04. OK, this post will be relevant to some…others not so much. My husband was in the Marine Corps, loved his job, but he wasn’t born a stick figure. There are some people who just are “built” bigger than others. He did his job and did it well. He just needed more exercise than some. So when your so-called “leaders” are more inclined to not PT (exercise) then it hurts others. He didn’t…

But they found some areas of concern that had “abnormal movement” as was stated by the surgeon to my husband.This will require more surgeries after this one. But first I have to recover from this one. I am trying to rest up today…
Originally posted 2020-01-13 18:00:01. I have back surgery in the morning. 5:30am check-in. I could use your prayers. This is my 25th (or 26th I lost count) surgery and I am more nervous about this one than any of them. Maybe it’s me getting older or the fact that I buried my dad Nov 2017, my mom June 2018, my husband’s dog Charlie Feb 2019, & just a couple of weeks ago my nephews CJ…

So if you have been following me for a while you may remember I had been waiting for Chewy’s next surgery to get scheduled. I do not know what the problem was at the place I had been taking him, which was the one that had done every other surgery on Chewy. Now the previous vet office is supposed to send the money…

This will be #surgery number 25 ( or 26 hell I am losing count lol) alot to some, a fraction to others. This surgery will help with my #spinalstenosis and decompress some areas in my spine. I…
Originally posted 2023-03-02 14:22:38. Ok… warning for some this may be too much info for your liking. So… here I go. In the past couple weeks I have been having issues with several things. My left leg, groin, butt cheek, and top and bottom of my left foot. Then all of a sudden I started having issues with my bowels and bladder functions. My pain management doc had previously told me that if I had…
Originally posted 2019-12-18 16:07:11. Went to see the neurosurgeon this morning. My tests results show some instability of the spine on top of a few other issues. Issues that he admitted were complex. First thing we are having to do is do a laminectomy with decompression. Second, at a later date, would be a multi-level spinal fusion. Part of the issue with that would be a single level left in between fusions below and above.…
I needed to get my dentist appointments done and over with. My husband had his scheduled and we went with him for moral support 🤣 They threw me on the schedule real quick and then as I was updating my paperwork come to part of the paper and it asked if I pre-med. I thought it was talking about medical school 🤣 So I got up and asked someone and well… it apparently it applies…
Originally posted 2023-01-26 19:32:00. let me tell you something…. I started physical therapy yesterday and ughhh… the doc said I needed to do the “exercises” 5 out of 7 days a week. I know I had 2 back surgeries last year and my body reminded me of that too. I think my body from my last life sent a message too. I know I said previously that there is an upside to pain… just letting…
