Another update on the hip problems !!!!
Comments (14)Florence, I'm really sorry to read this.. You've done so well with all of your surgeries, was hoping it would go away with time. Pretty sure I left you a link for medical posters a while back, it showed the nerves and where they go. I did a search but can't find the post. I think that looking at the posters to see if you can pinpoint the pain might tell you if it is the hip or in the spine. Since you do have back problems, I wonder if it's actually the back and a nerve there. Google searches: Hip & Knee Anatomical Chart - click on the largest photos you can find, it will bring you to the google page, you can then click on see full size image or Below is the image in its original context on the page: then click that link Hip & knee link One that I use a lot.. Spinal Nerves and Sensory Dermatomes again, showing the spine and where you would feel pain from each level - wish I could find this larger Doing a google for dermal segmentation, or spinal nerves may give you some answers. I will say that printing some of these out, then marking your pain may help the doctor figure out exactly what's going on. A cane was mentioned, which you probably use? Have you thought about crutches? I always keep them in my car, can't tell you how many times I went to the mall with a cane only to have someone go to the car and get the crutches. What I've found is that it relieves the pressure off of my disks.. I also don't put the leg on the floor that is giving me problems. It helps. Happy new year.. I hope that 2008 finds you feeling better....See MoreBeen without internet for months
Comments (23)Hope you will feel good knowing so many of us have been thinking of you. I, too, was thinking of you one day last week. Wondering where you were. Prayers for good results for your DH and strength for you. You will need to take good care of yourself--and don't forget to eat....See MoreBeen a really rough week
Comments (16)Thank you all. My husband isnt a bad guy I do love him, He has supported me through school by working etc jobs etc, its just that we never EVER agree on anything,we are always arguing and fighting and the stress was getting bad,I had depression so badly medication wasnt helping, I never wanted to do anything cause I didnt care. I knew the day would come when I would have enough and I guess it did. Surprizingly I do not feel depressed at all, my bp is down and I have energy to get up and do things, My car is clean, I am focusing on school I walk with my friend everyday, I actually care. I know that its going to be a really tough road but I will fight through it. I am just not used to my little part time income, now I am going to have to budget. I need seperation papers for school so they can alter my tuition, but I dont even know where to start or how to go and get them, I dont have the money right now for a Laywer, since I have my car payment, insurance, CC bills and my cell phone, plus I got to try and help my friend out cause she left her husband 2 months ago so money is tight for both of us. All my family is in Canada, so I have noone here really to help me, Thank God for my friend. She told me the other day she was glad I was here for her cause I was helping her get through her seperation, so I guess we were meant to friends and be there for each other. Will most more as time goes on, cause I know I am going to have my breaking moments....See MoreIt's been a rough few weeks but I am back in the sewing room.
Comments (23)Sharon, I do know that you have walked this same road. I remember grieving with you. I have not asked the NICU yet what size they want. I am thinking that I want to go and ask them in person. James did get a burial gown, but we did not use it as my son and daughter-in-law decided on cremation since they plan to move from the Nashville area eventually. This way, James can go with them and is not left behind with no one to visit his grave. We turned the gown back to the NICU when we picked up his memory box. My son has asked me to take James' receiving blankets and hats that he wore and make a memory quilt out of those. Thanks so much for the kind words and prayers....See More- 3 months ago
