I'm a bit better today

[lordwriothsley]

I'm glad to hear that Lady Gloriana. After all that you have been going through you definitely need this. I hope that things will continue to look up for you m'lady.

In retrospect, shots really did nothing for me and in fact kind of made it worse for a long while. She really wants to do a nerve study but we have to wait for aproval. In the meantime, she wants to try an epidural injection on the 17th.

Ouch!
I gotta tell you, back in 2004 when I had my fusion I went through all this crap too! Shots, studies, this, that ... I finally got to the point where I said ENOUGH! I asked my neurologist is I would ever get better - would all this crap make it go away. Her answer, no ... it would be a problem for the rest of my life. My question to her - then tell me again why I should not have surgery? She could not give me a good reason.
Simply, if it will be nagging me for the remainder of my life and surgery could provide me with relief, why continue to try these other treatments?
I had the surgery and ZERO problems since! Of course I ask, why did I deal with all the pain and discomfort for YEARS when the answer was there from the beginning.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in the miracle of modern medicine - surgery should, in most cases, be the last resort ... but in my case it should have been the first resort. (hindsight being 20/20 that is)

God Bless you lass, I know what you are going through and I hope you get relief soon.

Because I am on workman's comp I have to do what they want me to do. oday has been very hard but I guess I get through it.

[Lady_Glorianna]

I had the shot today. It was not as bad as the first one but I am a bit dizzy and I think I'm getting a migrane. I'm just trying to catch up so that I can lay down and maybe take a nap.

[Luciana]

I pray m'lady that the shot will help and pain will leave you, at least for a while.

[Master James]

Hang in there.  Sending more healing thoughts and prayers your way.  Hope to see you sometime soon.

[lordwriothsley]

That was very nicely said Master James. I also agree with everything you said as well.

Hi, Lady Glorianna.
We've never met, but I was very touched by your posts, and I can't convey enough how sorry I am for your loss and for all the trial and tribulation you're having to face at the worst of all possible times. I know nothing can ease the pain of losing your husband, especially to so horrible and random a disease as cancer. All I can say is that I also lost a person very dear to me many years ago, and though the pain never goes away completely, in time, it becomes so much easier to remember all the fun times, the happiness, and the things that person said and did to make you smile. That never, ever goes away.The nighmarish quality of the days and nights spent crying and aching and waiting does fade, and good memories remain. You still will be able to feel him close by from time to time - that doesn't fade with the years, either - and you will always remember what he looks like and the sound of his voice. I'm praying for you, and I know you'll find peace in your heart, because your husband will be watching over you and helping you along. The thing to remember is to take care of yourself, because he still loves you very much, and he would want you to look after yourself as well as he would if he were still here. I hope your pain - physical and heartfelt - will subside soon. Please accept my kind thoughts with a hug, although from a stranger. Bless you.

To complete a perfect day I got the news that because his disability was a benefit for which his job paid the premium, this is taxable. Nobody told us and nothing was deducted so I owe the fed over 3000 and localover 1200...

I'm sorry. I know it doesn't seem like much. But I am really sorry the crap seems to keep piling on you.

That's such a shame Lady Gloriana. I hate it that the problems keep building up on your but as always I have faith that things will get better for you in the long run.

Hand in there lass.

Hugs!

[Seryn]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.  I can't believe that you'd have to owe taxes on such a thing.  I am still keeping you in my prayers.

[Rani Zemirah]

Lady Glorianna, my heart goes out to you, and I am angry for you at the same time! I know your strength is up to the challenge, though I wish you didn't have to deal with such petty bureaucracy...

HUGS
