Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Christa, Where do you live? Would social services at your hospital be able to refer you to get some help or do you belong to a church that could assist you? I am in the same place when I need surgery with no family close by to even drive me so I have to really plan stuff out. I think if you are in bad pain that you should not wait. I'm thinking of you even if I can do nothing to physically help. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Bennie, I'm in a brace now and its irritate the ankle. They will put something on it. I just hope I'm making the right decision doing it now or wait until my Mom get home (June/July). Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Christa, Which area of the States do you live in? I sure wish I could help; all my pain is in my right arm/hand/wrist so I can do much more than many. I'll be praying for you. You didn't mention (I think) WHEn they want to do it. Are they saying they plan to schedule you? I saw that they wanted to do it now rather than june/july so I'm curious when this month they plan to. It all sounds so painful. You have my prayers.- > > Bennie, > I'm in a brace now and its irritate the ankle. They will put something on it.
