Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hi, all Tommie, where is it that you live, again? I can't remember. It sounds so miserable there. I want to tell you that you are an inspiration to me. Actually, just today, I was telling my husband how much I admire you. As far as my pain, I really can't complain--and, it has been such a very long time since I have said that. My pump is on just enough, I guess. I am very anxious to get the morphine though. Being sick is over though. Thank you God. They didn't give me any of my pain medicine, but told me to use my Tramadol, so we all know what that means. I am hoping that I don't need to use the ER this weekend. So far, so good. Say, I haven't seen (post) much of Shan or Chelle lately. I hope they see this and post. They are on my mind. Actually, I haven't seen Janine either. I don't know, maybe every body has a life. lol Thanks again for all your prayers. Jodie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 106??? Where are you located? I hope you are staying in the air conditioning and not having to deal with that weather.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 My gosh, Half50pint, where do you live. Actually, anyone else curious where we all live? If any one is interested, " yell out " (okay post) your home. I live in Rapid City SD. Not sure what the temp is today. Probably about 95. Humidity is quite high. The older and fatter that I get, I hate the humidity. It's also getting very busy with people. Big vacation site here, and this week is the Sturgis motorcycle rally. Kid rock--I won't mention them all--will be here. There is usually about 600,000 bikers that show up for this week. This time last year I wrecked my car, almost hurt a biker. I may just stay in this year. lol Jodie > > > Subject: WEATHER > To: Hugs-N-Pain > Date: Saturday, August 2, 2008, 7:48 PM > > Hi, all > > Tommie, where is it that you live, again? I can't remember.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 I live in Mineral Wells, Texas and it is hot as Hell here. I drove to Dallas to see my new nephew today and I am so glad to be home! Even though I have air conditioning in my car it still just takes everything out of me. Dallas is about 100 miles from where I live. Now I have my feet up on the ottoman and I am chillin' out for the rest of the day. Tomorrow I have to do a prep for a colonoscopy that I'm having on Monday. Yep...that's my definition of hell. Anyone else ever had a colonoscopy? Is it as awful as I think it is going to be?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 > Hi Donnie, What kind of pain did I have to have to get the pump? HMMMMM? Let's see....I guess an easy way to say it, is that everything else failed--like you, I am sure. I don't think that there is really a qualification, as to say, but rather a desperation. After many surgeries, procedures, ph. therapy, occ. therapy, accupuncture, hypnosis, pain counseling, multiple coctails of pain meds, overdoses from taking too many meds, etc--and 22 yrs of pain. I just told my doctor that I wanted the pain pump. I told him that I did everything that has been asked to no avail., or just temporary. Donnie, I am starting to think that it depends on how open the doc. is about them. As far as the surgery goes. It's a bummer--as they all are. You are cut on your back and front. Hard to get comfortable. The machine sticks out a bit from under my ribs. If I had a belt on, you would really be able to see it. But, that is just vanity. Yes, I still have some of that left. lol The pump has to be refilled, which I will find out about that on Monday--they do it with a long needle, about every 2 months. The entire surgery has to be redone about every 5 yrs, because the battery wears out. Some people still need pain meds with the pump, some not. If you think that you are interested, you should check it out online. Go to medtronic.com. It is the " SynchroII intrathecal pain medication delivery system " . Fair warning: It takes forever to get it going, so if you are interested start it up now. It took me almost 5 months to get mine. Get it going, you can always back out if you want to. Just a brief rundown on the prelims.....you have to 1. convince your doc. 2. get a psych eval.(for what I am not sure), 3. have a " trial " in the hospital, then the surgery. You spend more time waiting for all the appts. These are all " required " by not only the insurance, but by Medtronic themselves. Let me know what you are doing with the thought of the pain pump. I will guide you in anyway I can.

Most, if not all, of us really have extra pain problems with the winter (reading Donnie's post reminded me of that). LOL We sure are " summer " complainers considering this.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Nah, Jodie. Don't really have a life. LOL I've just been extremely down. Thank you, and Tommie and for all thinking of me. It's been all I can do to get out of bed in the morning, and I haven't managed to make it to the shower yet today. A number of things have been bothering me and it just all kinda came down on me at once. I have finally admitted that I cannot go back to work and am disabled. I know I've said it before, but with the osteo-arthritis diagnosis last week, it really came down on me that there's just no way I can work. I kept deceiving myself that I could do it. I managed to get off the couch yesterday to take the boys shopping for shoes for school, and sure enough my neck and shoulder started acting up last night. I was up every hour and feel like I never went to bed. When I went in to see my therapist on Friday, I just cried for the whole hour. I think she was a little worried. I'm sure I'll pull through this. I've been reading everyone's posts. Glad to see you back Jodie and I'm so sorry for everything you've been going through. , I sure hope they find out what's going on with your leg. I think I told you about my 14 months of stomach pain and nausea with the lithium? Don't wait around if that stuff is making you sick. I lost 20% of my body weight because I couldn't eat. There just isn't a medication out there that is worth being sick to my stomach, IMO. Call the emergency number for your pain clinic and tell them it's making you sick and they need to either change it or do something. I think it's a little too coincidental that you got so sick right after taking it. I hope you are all having a relatively pain free weekend.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Jodie, I'm in Winchester, Virginia, which is about 45 miles west of Washington, D.C. and right near the southern West Virginia border. It is hot and humid here too and I am so anxious for fall to get here. I keep thinking it's winter that depresses me, but I sure am depressed enough now to think that the weather has nothing to do with it. I do know that the humidity level and high pressure that sits over us all summer plays havoc with my pain levels, so I do feel better in the winter time. I have no idea how hot it's supposed to get today, but probably somewhere in the 90's. Chelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Oh Chelle, I know what you are going through, regarding " disability " . That has been one of my tuff feats also. Besides my therapist, I went to pain counseling for just over a year. The first thing that she mentioned was to " find the gift in my disability " . GIFT???? It has been 10 years since I went on disability and I am still working on the " gift-thing " . She gave me a few ideas, but I think it is a process. One of them was having more time with my child. Well, now he is in college, not here in our hometown anymore. So, I am looking for a new gift. lol That's okay, though, because I LOVE gifts. Actually, I love MANY MANY GIFTS. Yes, I think my pain counselor was right. If someone would shower me with gifts everyday, I might be able to deal with it a bit better. lol I wish you didn't have to go through this.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Donnie, You don't sound like a dummy. I have often wondered that myself. I always just assumed it was a " non-text " part of the msg., like a picture, perhaps. Well, hopefully someone will post and let us 2 know.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Gifts! I already have gifts. The biggest " Gift " was getting a doctor who believed me and is treating me....that's one of my biggest gifts because it allows me to use my other gifts. Without that doctor and pain management...any gifts I have would be in cold storage and I would be curled up a little ball wishing it were just over.....been there before treatement.
