Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Lin, Welcome back, it is so good to see you posting again. Just take it easy and don't do too much at once. That is terrible that you had such a flare up, I feel so bad and wish there was some way I could have helped, but please know you were and always are in my thoughts and prayers. Also thank Dwight for me that he let us know, otherwise I would have been really worried as you usually post every day. I haven't been feeling great either but nowhere near close to going to the hospital. I'm very happy that the pain is now somewhat under control, you must be so relieved. Happy Mothers Day to you and please take it easy until all of your strength comes back, I don't want you to suffer a relapse. To everyone, I've had enough typing tonight so I am going to lay in bed and watch tv. I hope everyone has a good night and that all mothers had a wonderful day. <hugs> Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Lin, Glad you are starting to feel better. Rest, take care of yourself. I, too, hope all of the mothers, grandmothers, honorary Mothers, honorary Grandmother, Aunts, honorary Aunts (am I forgetting anyone here?? - I'll honor the men on Dad's day) have had a wonderful day. I am really suffering from allergies. I did, however, enjoy the visit with my children and grandson. Hugs, Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Lin, Good luck with the new pain doctor! I really hope it works out for you and maybe you can get some answers. I'm getting a little frustrated myself just still sitting around waiting and getting worse. Let us know how the appointment goes, will pray that it works out for you. <hugs> Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2004 Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hi all, don't know if I have talked about this, but in January a resident (I work part time as a LPN/Charge Nurse at a nursing home) deliberately dropped down while I was helping her, she did this twice. I did not let her land on the floor, I managed to lower her to a sitting position. Unfortunately each time her full weight went on my left arm especially elbow and shoulder. It has been very hard to heal and I finally (it took a couple months) convinced y employer that I did need to a see a specialist. The company doc had been recommending this for some time. After xrays (none were taken initially) and MRI's the doc decided that I have tendinitis in both areas and I will have physical therapy and more anti-inflammatories. The strange things are: I have an area that have developed an indention and a dime-sized area that is much whiter than the rest of my skin--the company doc had no idea what caused it---surprise to her! it was caused by the cortisone injection she put there, cortisone bleached the skin and shriveled the sub dermal fat cells so I now have a permanent white and dented area the other BIG surprise showed up on the MRI. I had always wondered why the worse pain for the elbow was no-where near the joint and now I know---that is where my poor arm was fractured! Yep broke. So an initial xray might have shown that or might not have, but now I know one reason why it hurts so bad still and why it has taken so long for the injuries to heal. The super good news is----NO surgery whew!! Now if I can just get my finances and depression under some kind of control and progress............Hugs, Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
