Hi Elaine,
I'm glad that you shared what you're going through. I know what you mean about playing with the little ones. They are just so cute and you want so much to have fun with them, but the body says no. You can only do what your body will allow. It's so frustrating.
Once in a while, I do feel like there is one set of footprints, and I'm really thankful during those times. It's like He comes in and snatches me up just in time. He must still want me here for some reason, and I'm looking forward to finding out what that reason is. Do you ever feel like He picks you up?

Hi Memer
Yes He has pick me up many times but not until He is ready and I don't want to wait.Shame on me
Just recently I told my DH I can see why people commit suicide. I was in so much pain That I wanted to die, nothing was helping.Wanted to go to hosp. but H kept saying they wouldn't do any thing for me.I was up for 3 days and 2 nights walking floor and taking pain pills round the clock praying for relief.Finnaly did go to sleep or (passed out) and woke up 6 hours later.
Made up my mind that the Lord helps those that help themselves and if that happens again I will get someone to take me to hosp.
That is just one of things that I meant when I said about him not understanding or in denial
enough of complaining.I pray everyday that all the wonderful ones on here will get relief and know that we are a special group that has a purpose in life.Sometimes I get caught up in self pity.
Hope you are having a better day
Elaine

Hi Elaine,
I understand what you're talking about. The pain and everything involved with that pain can overtake us to the point that we sometimes want to give up. I don't think you have anything to be ashamed of, Elaine. Some of us in serious pain for a long time feel the way you do. We understand.
I have to admit that when I was about 25 I didn't get it when people complained about pain. The only real pain I had experienced was natural childbirth, some broken bones, bruises, cuts, stuff that gets better in a certain amount of time. With natural childbirth, there's an end in sight. You know as soon as they say "push" it can be over really quick. No matter what, you know that the baby is coming out at some point, one way or another. With this neck thing, there are really no answers as to when the pain will stop. It might stop with surgery, a week, a month, or a year or two after surgery, or it may never stop. It's the uncertainty with the neck and the nerves.
ELAINE QUOTE "... a special group that has a purpose in life."
You have really helped me by telling your story. Thank you for that and for the well wishes. About 16 more days until your appointment, right? I hope He'll lift you up until then, or at least once in a while until then.
I'm thankful that I feel well enough to post again. I know that there is at least one person who is not feeling well enough to post, and I hope you'll join me in a prayer for her. I won't say her name because I don't know if she would want me to. If you do pray for her, you could call her "Sunshine," and I think He'll know who you mean. She is a member here and is very supportive of everyone.
Thanks again, Elaine. I'm glad you're back. :wave:

Hi Memer
Today is the best I have felt in sooooooooo long. Only took 2 pain pills today and did do little things around house.Don't know if its the fact that I have been taking MSM or its that humidity is down. Guess I'll wait and see.
Will definally say a prayer for (sunshine) along with the rest of folks on here. My list grows everyday
Hope you are doing good and having a pain free day.
Only 17 more days

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for praying for Sunshine. She has a new injury added to her other ones. If anyone else wants to say a prayer for her, that would be great. She's a member here.
Have you got your list of questions prepared for your appointment, Elaine? Looking back, I should have had one and then should have written the answers down next to the questions. When they started talking surgery, my mind went blank.

Hi Memer
Yes I do have a list ready to ask and seems like its getting longer everyday thanks to the kind people on here.
Look forward to getting a good outlook on 14.Although I have been looking forward to this for almost a year it is making me nervous now that time nears. Know that Hubby will keep me cool.Nothing seems to bother him and he is my rock. Oh I sometimes get on his case but he is super and very comforting and understanding.
Today is another good day and I am wondering if it is because I am taking MSM.Haven't had to take pain pill yet today.Guess I will know something more as tomorrow is supposed to be hot and humid.
Sure hope this finds you having a good day also. Look forward to your posts
