I am glad you have gotten some improvement and don't have to undergo

more surgery. It is good to avoid that whenever possible.

I am sorry to hear you are not sleeping better. It is so hard when ya

can't get a good nights sleep. That has been a hard one for me. The

sleeping problems. It is so hard to function without a good nights

sleep.

What did they find on your CT scan? Will it be things that can

resolve or get better?

Good too, that you still have help in the evenings. Nice to have the

option to take it easy if needed and to catch up on rest.

Take care,

Katrina :-)

hi Katrina, well I have tried sleeping pills BUT usually they don't

work, I'll sleep for a few hours then the pain goes right thru them

and wakes me up and then I feel groggy for hours till it wears off,

so I gave up on them. I just figure I am lucky if I get 4-5 hrs

sleep in a row, cause most nites I am up at least 3 or 4 times and

alot of mornings I just give up at 4 and get up. My foot still feels

like a gas stove igniting sometimes but I know now I just have to

stay off it when that happens cause nothing stops it and if I stay

up on my feet it will just get worse.The dr told me I will probably

have to have some surgery sooner or later, what its doing now I

can't remember to tell you but it won't get better on its own,

probably worse with time. But I am hoping I can buy myself at least

sometime anyway. I'd love to be able to travel some again I am just

afraid I'd never make it thru an airport and a long flight without

dying now. Last trip I took I spent half the time standing up back

in the back of the plane because I just couldn't stay in that

uncomfortable seat any longer. I'd still love to see Rome, it sounds

so wonderful from what people tell me its just a reallly

lonnnnnnngggggggg flight back and forth. I have just decided I am a

nite owl most of the time and I just catch sleep whenever I can. I

usually try and get a nap in the afternoon cause that helps me be

off my feet and its easier to get thru the nite and evening if I can

rest some. But like yesterday I was out till after 3 and the minute

I got in the car to head home, omg did my back hurt like HECK, it

was all I could do to get home and crawl out of my car geez I

hate that. Maybe we should have a middle of the nite time chat for

all of us who are up in the wee hours of the nite ? I still wish we

could get enough people for a chat but it never seems to work out.

One thing people could do is change their status in the club so it

shows when they are online and maybe we could catch other people

that way, who knows.Oh well if I can make it thru my sons college

graduation next month and the party at the house afterwards I think

I will be lucky. Anyone want to plan it all for me ??????? hope your

foot is feeling better and not hurting so much. take care Sharon
