Guest guest Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 All six of my grandchildren belong to my oldest daughter. My second daughter and son have not had any children yet. They also live in the same city as I do. I would love to do more traveling but just can't stand in the line at the Atlanta airport. It is the worst I've ever seen and is probably worse now since 9/11. I haven't traveled since before that because of the lines. I would love to visit Australia and the UK. Joan, from GA I have the same problem, sitting for more than 10 minutes causes pressure headaches tho I'm trying to get a special custom made selection of seats ie car w'chair and lounge chair which will be nice if I can get the funding approval, my girls wants me to shift closer to her, then we've got another two kids 3 and 1/2 hr away, a son an hour away in the oposit direction then two daughters in the UK. So loads of traveling to see everyone tho it hard to do I attempt to visit all of them, so the UK here we come.. I'm pleased for you your babes are close, I know one day some will return to be close by but not all and it fun to watch them live their life Cheers Adrienne > > > > > > > > > > > > > > i was meaning noone in my family understands, not those who are here.

I completely understand. I feel the same way. I also have many other health problems besides spinal stenosis. The fact that my family loves me is what keeps me going. I would never purposely hurt them. However, I get so frustrated because my body will not let me do the things that I want to do with my six grandkids. When I try, I pay for it. > > > > > > > >The neurosurgeon told me to let him know when I'm ready for surgery. I'm scared to even think about back surgery. I know the day may come when I have to have it, but for now the shots and medicines are keeping me moving. > > > > > > > >I never saw my last post on this site so I'm not sure what caused that.

I am just a REcluse anymore. I have spinal stenosis and DDD plus RA and I can't walk but a few steps without sitting are laying down. I have tried so many things pills, shots, etc with no relief. My back and my legs hurt so bad and sometimes they burn. I can't even go to the gro. store anymore. I am scheduled for surgery on the 14th, but I am so sc ared and undecided, as the neurosurgeon  ,I asked him would this surgery take away my pain, and he said he couldn't promise me anything. How scary is that.?? I feel like I am being tortured for some reason. Seems once they try to fix one thing that will call for more surgeries. I can't work anymore and that is killing me.To be truthful with you I have even thought many times of suscide, but guess I am too big a coward for that.Hope you will keep in touch, because noone here seems to understand. Have A Great Day and Feel Better. God > Bless > > > you!! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
