[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 404796, member: 84"] Mary I'm so sorry to hear about husband's back. Odds are muscle relaxants probably arent' going to help him much unless he's actually having muscle spasms. Then they help, but of course they don't completely do the job. Warm moist heat may help more.....I have husband stand under a hot shower set to massage when he does a number on his back, then use the heating pad. But then his issues are mainly from lack of movement.......then let's over do it to the hilt. He forgets every once in a blue moon that he's not 20 anymore. ugh (all of the rest of the time he acts as if he's 80) Ouch with the knee. Can understand how you feel, but it is not getting better, and is not going to get better. I hope you can have the replacement surgery soon. And as for the grandbaby...........I would be upset. But I wouldn't wait to be invited to see my grandkids. lol I'd just show up if I felt it had been too long,. However when Darrin was 2 I had to have a major heart to heart with easy child. She and sister in law were seriously thinking about moving to Colorado. Well, that was all honky dory but when Darrin had spent nearly every day of his life up to that point at nana's house..........you just don't do that to a child. He'd get to missing me on the weekends and sneak his Mommy's phone to call Nana. lol We're still extremely close although I haven't watched him nearly as much since he was three. He can't go even for a week without calling or seeing me. Reminds me of how I was with my own grandma. So easy child and sister in law nixed the move idea totally. I feel bad for Aubrey. It's the same deal with her. First 3 yrs of her life Nana was always there. Was tough enough on her when Nichole and boyfriend moved in together. But she still saw me several times a week........and trust me she soaked up as much nana time as humanly possible. Now they're an hour and a half away......and as far as poor Aubrey is concerned it might as well be across country. And with her it's not just me she misses terribly, it's easy child and darrin and brandon ect.

If she does, make up a silly excuse and go see her. She's such a little doll baby! And Janet.........I think grandkids are blind when it comes to grandparents.
