Hey girl, how are you, I just got home from the hospital, I had whats called a dicagrahm done this morning, and it was very uncomfortable to say the least!! They put alot of needles in my discs in my lower back to check one of them, still a little groggy. I have become somewhat discouraged, I got off the oxys and It wasnt easy but now im trying to deal with my back, I have not been able to work for the last two weeks because of my back, I have found that my heating pad has become a good friend, but I MUST go back to work or Im gonna go broke, I have been taking percs, just one every 4 hours but I dont know what to do about my back, I just dont want to have another surgery, im only 32 and feel like 82 with my back. The only good thing I can say about the oxycontin is that I could take one in the morning and work 6 hours, but I think I made my pain managment doctor madd by telling him I was not going to take them anymore and I didnt want to be dependant on pills and was going through some withdrawals, he gave me the catapres wich really helped me through it, but I know my ortho doc. is gonna send me back over to him, and I dont know what to say, because he seemed a little preturbed at me for quitting cold turkey, maybe I made a mistake, I need to be able to go back to work soon, my wife works but we cannot make it on her income alone, so I dont know what to do? Very worried right now!!

How is everyone on the fine, Tuesday. I swear the sun hasn't been out here in CT for the past 10 days, every day is cloudy, humid and rainy.....YUCK!! I need some sunlight....guess I'm gonna have to opt for some fake UV rays at the tanning salon later. That is if I can get my busy little "social butterfly" daughter to watch the baby for an hour or so. How's the sober life treatin' ya? You sound wonderful... I am hanging in there and contemplating w/d---it just seems like everything starts going wrong everytime I quit....and no help during the w/d's is what I dred!!! Sometimes I wish I could have a "normal" talk with my hubby...but he is always "fired" up about something or another. He used to blame his fierce temper on drugs and alcohol, BUT IT IS STILL THE SAME!!! He has been clean for 3 years know. I think he needs some kind of anti-depressant but he refuses after he saw the side-effects I went thru when I went on Paxil and then tried Zoloft.....kinda scared him, the Dr. did put him on Klonopin awhile ago but he never remembered to take them and he said they made him too tired.
