Hey, I don't know much about the pain pump, but I just wanted to wish you good luck,

and let you know I hope it will answer your many prayers in regards to you pain management.

I wish you all the best!

Have a good day, and try to have as little pain as possible!

I gotta get some sleep!

Too bad my meds aren't helping me in that department, even though I was told they would by my doc...

See you later,

Crystal

Hello, Tiddgys! 5 weeks left to go - countdown is slowing coming to an end. Bless your heart! I know you just can't wait to get it ALL over with. I just found out today that I'm having my 2nd pump trial next Wed., 7/16. As you know, I didn't talk with the dr. (cause he NEVER talks with his patients!), but the girl that phone me from his office said it would be the same procedure, but would be either a different dose of morphine or another med. Usual confusion and secrecy from the dr!

Anyway, know that I've been thinking about you and will continue to keep you in my prayers. I know the wait is agony, but you will get there!!!

I'll let you know how my 2nd trial goes, even though yours will be alot different. Keep your chin up and know that others care deeply, especially me.
Your buddy, Lindao1
