> Donna,

> You're darn right--it is good to get news after feeling like

everything is going down the drain!! I am so happy that these things

are working out for you, and before you know it, you'll even be

getting news about approval of an SCS!

Im fairly confident that it will be approved IF the right neurologist

sees me which one of those drs happen to be referred by my pain

management specialist.

Im having a good day so far except for some low level pain.

Many Hugs

Donna,

So glad to hear you're getting some good news for a change! Sounds like your

case worker did some miracle work, too!

You must be sighing a big sigh of relief right now, and I'm glad you can do

that.

Get some rest, now. I'm sure this stress hasn't done much for your pain levels.

Hugs,

Jo

Donna,

It is late and I unfortunately had a very bad night, but just getting to posts because I cannot sleep and extremely stressed!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see that you finally got some good news. I will continue to say prayers for you and your family and I know that everything will work out for you! Talk to you tomorrow and know that you have Angels looking over you!

LOL and Best Wishes Always

but she managed to get them to reinstate my job and that a letter should be coming in the mail retracting the termination LOL!She also managed to get MY pain Dr to reccomend one of his colleagues to do the second opinion for the neurology consult (as well as one she likes alot) but she said not to expect to hear much on that for a few weeks.We also managed to speak to our mortgage guy who is going to let us refinance our mortgage at a lower rate and take out a loan above what we owe to pay off our car and our daughters orthodontic work and still have about 1700 in the bank to pay off our insurance bill so we can continue with our insurance.

Shes the ONLY reason I hadnt called an attorney yet, she works

miracles for me when all else fails and I'd hate to lose contact with

her. Shes been there for me and done things against the grain right

along. I respect her and adore her.

Ya, the stress did take its toll on me but Im doing ok and sleeping

better with the meds they are giving me at night. I almost feel human

for the first time in awhile.

Mentally I am feeling better, physically my body seems to be

informing me that its been under enough stress and everything is on

fire this morning. I have pillows stacked behind me so my shoulders

dont touch the couch but my arm still rubs and so my messages have

been done in parts this morning so that the rubbing doesnt drive me

too insane lol. I've have alot to do so this just needs to stop now

(like its going to listen to me heheheh).

Anyway, take care , talk to you soon!

That is so great wonderful Donna!!!! The Blue men are dancing for joy!

Don't do too much celebrating so you have a flare now. I will pray that more good news comes you way.

I'll celebrate fully when they finally approve my SCS..until then not

much has changed except that I won the first battle and my finances

are improving or at least stabilizing.

As far as a flareup...I'm experiencing changes but I dont know if I'd

consider them flareups. I notice various affected areas becoming numb

like a nerve is being pinched which is a different sensation and as

well it started in my opposite shoulder blade yesterday. Not painful

just different and I'm not sure how to take the change.

Anyway, thank you for the well wishes. Im happy for the moment not to

have to deal with unemployment on top of it all and that we may

actually be able to celebrate the holidays and not cut corners to do

it.

Hugs

Hey, I have little green leprauchans living in my house that only I can see.....they steal everything from my clothes to stuff from the kitchen that we can never find again......

And, I'm the only one that can see them.......that's how I can tell that I'm losing my mind!

I will send him to you..but it's only a loan...maybe a day or so or i would miss him too much...but my 18yr old you can have as long as you want...lol ...send her back at 40 or so....lol.

Ginny,

One question is she by any chance graduating this year? Because I haven't seen a teenager yet that didn't get the disease called Senioritis the cure is graduation. JoAnn wouldn't need to keep until she was 40 just until about 21 or 22, they become very wonderful people again, at least that is how my 2 turned out.

So hang in there,
