“convince them to go to Indiana where a friend has offered to put them up and help them file for help to get them on their own feet and in their own place...she doesn’t want to go that far away, but I am begging her to do so!”
The friend’s offer is perhaps the miracle you’ve been praying for? I’d say it is, without a doubt! Your precious daughter needs to be safe. Absolutely GO FOR IT!
I understand it’s scary, but the procedures you have options for are commonplace and one of them should give relief. The ortho docs I’ve worked for are able to discern quickly if the implant helps, but if you need the injected medication... prayers for you to get past your fears in order to live a pain-free life.
Prayers continue for your situation.
Over the weekend, I called and emailed the Congressman asking his help to do a status check for me. Today, I got a reply asking to fill out a Casework Authorization Form and get it back to him. I tried to fax it and the fax wouldn’t work so I emailed it and then called the office. His secretary told me it would take too long for him to get it that way and I should email it to her and she would make sure he gets it immediately. She asked what the nature of my request is and I told her what is going on, how long it has been and with the holiday, it’s hard not being able to provide for the kids and get a good holiday meal for the family. She said she would put us on her prayer list and they would help all they can with the status request.
Tomorrow is the spinal cord stimulator test. They put it in tomorrow. If it doesn’t help right away, they take it out and I come home. If it seems to help, they tape it down, put the battery on the belt I have to wear and I come home for about a week (that means, they take it out on Christmas Eve and I go back to being in constant pain). I’m praying it helps, but I’m petrified with fear over this. My anxiety is so bad; I haven’t been able to eat for almost 2 days. Prayers appreciated...God Bless you all!
