New update from Maunie

What was I thinking?

On the eleventh of December I went into the hospital with the highest of expectations. Last
time I had the surgery for the right legs sciatica and it was not bad at all. Yes the back was sore
but when I put my right leg down...I was fine. This time I sunk right to the floor.


The pain was unimaginable. No drugs worked...morphine...demeral...anything they had I tried.
I was taking stuff every three hours but it only took the very top layer of pain away. I have never, ever experienced anything like this. The pain shoots down my leg and the toes on my left leg tingle...horrible...then the spasms start. I never slept more then an hour at a time and woke up ready to scream every time.

They finally sent me home late Sunday night with percodens and Valium for the spasms. I am
also taking a sleeping pill and sleeping in my own bed, I managed three hours.

I always thought I had a high tolerance to pain...so much for that. The Doctor says we will try
giving it a couple of weeks and then maybe more X rays and another MRI...he said it was too bad I had such an easy time the first time...and this is not uncommon...sure...anyway enough of me
belly aching just don't expect me around too much...you guys have always been so wonderful so a prayer or two can't hurt...love you all...Maun

What do you think?

I am on the horns of another dilemma...should I have back surgery before I leave from Florida?
My back and sciatica are so bad. I have heard about a surgery where you go in and have a quick adjustment and your home the same day. That doesn't sound bad does it?

This time the pain started in July and has been getting worse day by day. The acupuncture helped a lot but became very expensive and with Christmas coming every little bit helps. (although as many others are) I'm cutting back on gifts.

We go see the Doctors PA tomorrow and see what she has to say. Hubby, of course, doesn't see
a problem. He feels whatever is wrong I should wait four months until we return and have
it done then. I don't want to go to Florida feeling this way.

What do you think...the last time I had the surgery it was a long recovery...about three weeks sitting still...and quite painful. I'm not afraid of the pain but am concerned with my mobility.

Any suggestions would be so appreciated.....thanks

Easy as one two three

My mother in law uses that expression all the time. You can do this one, two, three. See how easy it is? It's not always so easy for all of us. Sometimes when we are in a hurry we don't stop to help someone else. We don't make an effort to put something in the Salvation army bucket.
We may not think to find out how our older neighbors are feeling...do they need something from the store or drug store. All it takes is for you to be feeling under the weather and you become more aware of everyone else.

The holidays are creeping up on us and soon baking, shopping and gift buying will be in full
swing. Let's make an effort to be really helpful to others. I just mentioned I was going to the library and a neighbor asked me to drop off some books and I ended up picking out a couple of
extra things for them. It's not difficult...your going there anyway.

I have a friend who can barely write and I agreed to address her Christmas cards for her.
I'm doing mine anyway what's a few more. Think about how good you will feel by just doing a little something for others. I know it makes me feel great.

The Party

My son and daughter-in-law decided to have a Halloween party last Sat. night. We couldn't
decide if we wanted to go or not, but then they called again and mentioned all the great food that was prepared so hubby caved and said it was a tough way to get a meal but he was in.

He wore his hunting gear even his turkey mask..as if any self respecting turkey would think a two hundred thirty pound man with a feathered hat and goofy face mask could possibly be a mate for him. I wore a monks robe, cross and cowl with devil horns and tail...the old good and evil.

The other costumes were a riot...two priests, a nun, a surgeon and his "hot" surgical nurse, three flappers, two pirates, a "little person" standing on a box, wolf man, three cowgirls and two cowboys, a private school girl and a football hero, the cat in the hat, red riding hood, confuses,
beauty and the geek, a huge "Jesus" and so many more I can't remember.

The food awesome too, pasta salad and tiny meatballs, so many dips and kinds of chips and crackers, cold cuts and cheese trays, all kinds of hot and cold finger foods, calzones and pizzas,
egg rolls and crab rangoon, salads and dipping sauces and cakes, cookies, cupcakes and brownies...hubby ate and ate to his hearts content...all sorts of blender drinks, beers, wine etc.

Even though its Sunday morning and I just had ham and eggs I'm making myself hungry again.

We had all sorts of games planned but people started dancing and their band didn't even play. We got to talk to people we had not seen in years...about fifty or sixty people showed up and it was even more fun than expected. They have a huge house so it never seemed crowded except around the food, spread out on the granite island in the middle of the kitchen. I had not been to a good costume party in about ten years so I really enjoyed it.

Next time....your all invited....
