Lower back, and the pain goes all the way to his foot. His other side is weak from a stroke, so hes confined to bed most of the time, until he can get some relief.
I didnt realize it would hurt worse before it gets better. *sigh*
It was only a few days for me, and they told me usually it is just the day after that it's worse. Well worth it.
Also, if you haven't already, look into a TENS device, It is a small, inexpensive, device that administers small electrical impulses to the area on which you place it. The nerve signals this triggers have priority in the brain over the pain signals, so your brain doesn't notice the pain. For me, the back issue caused transfered pain in my knee, similar to your husbands pain in his foot. I put this thing on my knee and it gave me some relief from the pain. A real godsend.You can buy one at any major drugstore, Walgreens or whatever, for about $25
Will add him to my prayers as well. If its an epidural for back issues, tell him not to be dishearened if it feels worse for a few days. That was the case when I had it done, but after that it started improving immediately.
When is the surgery? Id like to set aside some time to be in prayer during the surgery, if I can.
It's on September 1, but they haven't given him an exact time yet - said they wouldn't know that until 1 to 2 days before the surgery. I'm not sure why that is; whenever I've had surgery I've always known the exact time well in advance.
Thank you so much for this. I'm always humbled by the kindness of strangers.
Exactly. What is the difference between the demodogs and the republicants?
Not as big a difference as I would like, but one difference is that the Senate Republicans didn't approve Obama's supreme court pick to replace Scalia. Were it a Democrat Senate, we'd be well on our way to the end of the 2nd amendment, and various other tragedies of judicial overreach.
We need to do everything we can to keep the Senate.
