I'm glad you got through the procedure OK.

I hope this flare passes soon and that you are on the road to answers for some

of your health problems at least. Take care.

Well, as some of you remember Saturday I started a " flare " and it was easing

up Monday Morning. Tuesday Morning was my spinal tap and all of that went well,

had an excellent Nurse! During the procedure I had a very sharp pain go from my

butt down my right leg in the back. I told the doc that was doing the procedure

he said ok. When I got back to my little area I told the nurse about it and

before it was all said and done they had to give me Morphine for my pain. So,

flare leaving on Monday Morning, procedure Tuesday Morning, severe pain in my

right leg, and on top of all that....I had a fibro flare hit me and just took me

down to the ground. By the time I went to bed Tuesday night I was crawling. My

body felt so heavy...I was in bed all day yesterday!!! Worse one I have ever

ever ever had!!!!! I hope the procedure didn't do anything to my scatic nerve. I

already have severe back problems, I certainly don't need anything else.

Thanks for all the prayers, thoughts and kind words! I don't know what I would

do without any of you guys!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

I am going to try to catch up on my emails today and respond to the ones that

I can. I only had 352 when I logged on this morning! ha!

Love to all,

You are definitely in my prayers, Debra. It does sound scary. Just take it a

day at a time and try not to think of worst case scenarios. We'll be here

giving you all the support we can.

Well, I just got off the phone with my Pain Management Nurse. The doctor wants

to do a discography on me Thursday, May 15 at 10am. It's going to be painful.

She also stated that I have Spondylosis, which is another word for Degenerative

Disc Disease as well as Stenosis which is narrowing of the spinal canal. So

after this procedure on Thrusday he will send my report over to a surgeon. I am

scared to death!! I know that surgery is my only option but now it's here, it's

time to talk about surgery and what can be done. I know that the narrowing of

the spinal canal will be an operation. That may also explain why my spinal

pressure was only 20. Gosh, I just hope things start to come together.

I know that regardless of what I tell this group that I have prayers being

sent up for me and I so thank each of you for that. I would like to ask for a

few more regarding my back issues. Like now, I have been sitting in this chair

for about 5 minutes and my feet and legs are numb......something's wrong! Just

please pray for me.

Each of you are special to me! I don't know what I would do without this

on-line support, but when I read these emails it's like talking face to face.

Dear Debra,

I am so sorry about everything. Since I am behind in my emails, I'm hoping you

are feeling better and coming out of your flare. I'm 279 emails behind and I've

got to do some ironing and won't be able to catch up on many now. I have to go

to a First Communion party at 4 and have loads to do. Please take care of

yourself and I hope as I wade through all the mail...I hear you are on the mend.

Love,

Debra B Update
