Hello Dear Friends,

Sorry I've been away so long. I had the epidural last Thursday and by 5:00 that evening, the pain was back as usual and have had no relief. I had such hopes that I would get some relief and have been let down and sorta crawled into a hole. I have had a hard time pulling myself up. When one has constant horrible pain, it takes a tremendous toll on a person physically and psychologically! I don't know what the future plans are for me but I am in with a great bunch of Neurosurgeons who have a great desire to keep me from having to live my life this way and I'm thankful for that.

And I'm thankful for my friends here at Amy's Place for understanding. I am offering prayers for dear Gail today and wish her the best. And my best wishes and prayers for all my friends here who are suffering. I know in this big wide world that many people have problems bigger than mine. And I've said this before, "I complained because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet." I remind myself of this all the time.

Maybe a miracle will happen and I will feel like my old self again but I won't give up....EVER! They say everything happens for a reason and sometimes I wonder about that, if you know what I mean!

Amy, you have had a beautiful thread every day and I wish I could have participated but just couldn't! You are doing a wonderful job and I love everyone's beautiful and/or funny graphics each day!

This is the way my pain is.....if I sit all day or lay down all day I have no pain. Its just when I get up and start moving around, like doing breakfast or cleaning the dishes and loading the dishwasher. I do not want to live my life like that. One more thing, I only found out a few days before my epidural that my next door neighbor's new wife was having back problems and she had an appointment at 6:30 and mine was at 7:00. Also, her epidural didn't help her one bit, she told me. They told her since this was her second one that they weren't giving her anymore and the next thing for her would be surgery. And she told me she wasn't going to do that.

See you all when I can! Love to All!!!!
