So disappointed, back to using a walker-

[hearts and roses]

Hope you can get the brace and your back will not continue to bother you.... Feel better soon. (OH and yipee your family got a clue.. funny sometimes my family will act defensively or passively like they did nothing wrong when one of us is upset with the others....but it does sink in and we really do love eachother so without admitting anything we will all rally around the person in need... PRIDE, sigh... thank heaven usually we do say sorry)

Hahaha buddy, I can tell H is waiting for me to ask him for help and he's very busy so I won't but it's funny because I can tell he's actually trying to be patient, lol. It's nice when your family and friends come through for you!

Better late than never (I guess).....

After my brain injury my dh & the tweedles really struggled to cope b/c I was the "go to" person. I couldn't walk or talk yet alone think straight. I hated the way my family, especially my dh, assumed I would be back to normal in a month or two. I believe it was wishful thinking.

It took a doctor or two to get dh on track with the enormity of the situation & how he'd have to learn many of the issues I dealt with including the tweedles.

BTW, sweetie, I had to start using my walker over the last 3 weeks or so. I had just put my cane away & my balance went. I hate that you're having the same issues.....it's so disappointing.

Many gentle (((hugs)))) to you this morning.

How is your back today???

Timer: sorry too for your set back. Hope you can improve again soon!

Aw, Linda, gentle hugs to you also! I'm so sorry you've had this setback! You're right, it is incredibly disappointing.

Buddy, my back is slightly better than it was yesterday, still very stiff and I can't sit for long, but better. Sometimes I go to move and feel a slight pull which stops me immediately! I'm so petrified I will injure it worse. Tomorrow is the chiro in the AM and the PT in the afternoon.

Thanks-

Jo, I'm so glad you blew your top! Hey, whatever works! I just hope that they don't backslide so you have to blow your top again. It's amazing, how families take moms for granted.

Glad your chiro can help and that you are working on getting better, one way or another. Fingers crossed.

So sorry, Linda! Gosh, you didn't need that. Feel better.

Dear Jo,
Let us know how you are doing today after the Chiro and the PT. I hope it went well.

Linda I am sorry to hear you had to go back to the walker. Hopefully your balance will improve soon. Many hugs.

Just returned from the PT. It went VERY well! He moved my hips in such a way that I was able to be pain free for a bit and straight! That move also forced my knee to go straight, AMAZING! And he taught me how to do it myself so I will do it at home 8 times a day, 8 times. Yay.

Unfortunately I cannot continue to see both chiro and PT so since I need to get my knee in order, I'm going to see the PT and cancel with my chiro. It's not that I have more faith in one over the other. It's just this is better for ALL of me. I hope my chiro is understanding, as I love her and she's always been great!

Back still hurts but I'm hopeful for the first time in a few days now. My surgeons office? Kind of peeved at them because they still have not returned to me the corrected paperwork for my disability OR the refil script for the oxycodone so my financial resources are at risk and I'm taking vicodin until I get the script for the oxy, which sticks because that stuff makes me cry a lot, which I've been doing all day, ugh. Hate it!

Thanks for caring.
