Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Hi Everyone, Sorry that I have not been in touch for a while but I've been having a few problems with the pain. My pain specialist has been giving me my weekly nerve blocks but because things have been pretty bad he has been adding steroids to the injections to make them more effective and to last longer. The downside to this is that I am diabetic and the steroids send my blood sugars up, not dangerously high but high enough to make me feel very unwell. The date for my op is all fixed and I am flying out on Sunday morning and I'll be in the hospital from about lunchtime and I'm having my old stim taken out and the new one put in on Tuesday. I'm due to be in the neurological unit for about 7 days but I'm not sure when I'll be coming back yet. The plan is that on my return I'll be admitted to my local hospital so chances are I'm going to be hospitalized over Christmas. Yippee!! Free Christmas lunch! LOL. As I won't be taking my laptop with me I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy and pain free Christmas and I hope and pray that you all get the relief from your pain and worries that you all so richly deserve in the coming year. I know I have not been a part of the group for very long but you are an amazing bunch of people and have been so kind and caring. You have helped me so much and I can't thank you enough for that. Take good care of yourselves Love and hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
