Help, again, please ....
 

Going to ask you all once again to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This time, though, it's not for me, but for my wife and our oldest son.

My wife's been having a lot of back pain recently and our doctor decided to have an MRI done. Appears they dedected what they described as "narrowing and compressio" of two of her lower vertebrae and have scheduled a meeting for her with a neuro surgeon for a week from today. Until then, she's confined to nothing but bed rest. We suspect that he'll want to do surgery and probably fairly soon.

Then, our oldest son (36) told us that he's done something to his arm to the point he can't hardly use it. Doesn't want to go to the doctor, so has wrapped it in an Ace bandage and wants to "wait it out." Not a good decision, I don't think, but then, what do parents know?

I'm reminded of a line from the show, Fiddler on the Roof, "I know, God, that we're your chosen people, but just once in a while, couldn't you choose somebody else?" I'm beginning to wish He'd make a few selections other than from our family.

Anyway, if you have the time and are so inclined, maybe I can borrow a few more good wishes from you.

Thanks ... and hugs ... Dicksbro

hang in there, big fella. shit'll work out.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family, Bro. Good luck, too.

Don

Thanks, people, you are very special!

like the Olympics of the same name.

*hugs*, thoughts and prayers to you and your family dicksbro. :(
Sorry to hear that you're having a few more life glitches....

Wife sounds like she's got her trouble pinpointed but that son of yours...yeah, I'd be worried too. My daughter sometimes avoids checking things out and she makes me crazy with concern.

Please hang in there and know you're all in my prayers hon.

Sending healing positive energy your way.....((dicksbro)) You just gotta tell them no one else is allowed to have trouble. Put your foot down:p

hugs, kisses, and love to you and all your people!

Hope everything works out for you and yours.

DB , Your Wife & Son have been added to my prayer list.

Shit comes in blizzards, not just drops.

Hoping for the best.

DB...

Postive thoughts headed in your direction.. pamper your wife as she lays in bed :) (Something tells me that you do so already) :) :) As for your son... hopefully his stuborness (does he get that from anyone in particular?) will be to his advantage someday. :)

DB---If your wife has work done,on her back,there are possible
bad repercussions!In 1970,I had the 5th disc up,removed at Yale
New Haven hospital.Every year they learn new things medically!
I occasionally get a pain down my left leg.This is over 20yrs later.
My current Dr.,sent me to a specialist.He took x-rays and it seems
that the problem is caused by the scar tissue pressing on the
physatic(sp)nerve.This gives me pain in my leg&foot.He said that he could remove it but in a few yrs.,I would have the same problem with new scar tissue.Look into it good.Every plus has its
minus.As far as your son,just hope he comes to his senses.We
both know that a son or daughter isn't going to listen to their
parent!Good Luck! Irish

All the best DB, sending lots of hugs and positive vibes to you and your family.
