Jo's Kitchen (and yes, the coffee IS on...)

Hello My friend,

I know exactly what you are going through. I went through the same thing.. I had the surgery 4 years ago this year.. but I blew the disc 3 years before that. It was My L5... and it sat on My S1 nerve that runs down My left leg. The pain was unbelievable when it blew.. If you need to talk about it .. or get advice.. or just want to bitch.. just PM .. Me.. ok? I feel for you. It is hell to go through on so many levels.

I just checked the weather for tomorrow. ... and they are forecasting.. the uppers 70's.. which is beyond what they were looking at yesterday. However, up here.. as Jo well knows.. it can change in an instant. So I will believe it when I get up tomorrow and see it. If it does get up there.. I am going to spend some time at the Lake in the afternoon.. once I get some work done in the morning.

Thank you for the welcome back.. and you are welcome as to the meditations.. I will keep you both in them..

I hope you are able to get some rest tonight.. and Jo too.. it sounds like both of you need it badly.

Keep your heads up.. things will smooth out.. glad to hear that WC is not putting you behind an 8 ball on getting money to you and all of that.. that is a blessing indeed.

As Always,
Jake

As for the temps here---today was well over 90...thinking high 80s are forecasted for the coming week with a thunderstorm possibly on Thurs....the pool was wonderful..jo and rooster were in it b4 10 today.

welcome back Jake...thanks for keeping me/us in your meditations..we both need it.

Soft--thanks for asking!

to everyone(and those i missed) hope your week goes smoothly

Zimmy...good luck with the job thingy

Jake....thats what i've done exactly. My first injury was about 4 yrs ago--i bulged the L4 L5 touched the S1 nerve...back then and up till last week it was my right leg i had issues with...last week when it happened it was my left leg...i was in tears--which i dont do...they have me on dilaudid...i had stopped taking them and went back to a half a loracet here and there bc of ummm "going" issues..last couple nights ive resorted back to taking a dlaudid...what kind of surgery did you have? perhaps i should just pm you so i dont overtake my sweeties thread..
