It was a bit "nippy" at the beach this morning. I wore my ski goggles because the 9 degree wind was biting. I love winter walks because it's nice and quiet. No one out, no dogs barking. Nothing but seagulls and me. I worked outside for much of my career building skyscrapers in Manhattan, so...

She is sleeping but I am still praying that pain is gone. I know she gets twinges of pain and thats how it starts. She can live with twinges, as long as it doesn't go any further. It's 9 degrees here now and I am going on my dark morning beach walk. I don't think I will see too many...

I was just downstairs playing with my fish, and I hear this big crash upstairs. I know that sound well so I ran upstairs and of course she fell and was on the floor. She falls all the time and didn't get hurt and is in such a good mood from feeling good, that she was laughing. :biggrin:

The beach was a little Nippy this morning. I am not sure why there were no amphipods and no one laying on the sand. I was going to take a dip, but I didn't bring my insulated Speedo. :eek2:

It was so nice to see her smiling and laughing again. Being able to eat and speak like a normal person. She is so happy, and of course, so am I. She is still sleeping so I don't know how she is today, but I think and hope she will be fine. Once again, thanks for all the well wishes and...

We just got back from the hospital where my wife had another ablation. For the first time in months, she is pain free. YYYYYyaaaaaaaaaa. I sincerely want to thank everyone for all the prayers I hope this lasts.

To get back to what I posted yesterday about friends. Our neighbors brought us a complete 3 course dinner that she cooked. (She is Italian so cooks like us) Complete with bread and dessert. Our other neighbor brought my wife a birthday cake, complete with candles. She ate some of all this but...

This is near my house where I sometimes collect water. We saw this on the news yesterday and my wife wanted to see it in person, so we drove the 8 minutes to get there. Then I walked through knee high snow to get the shots. I am waiting for the hospital to call for my wife to come in for...

FRIENDS. I want to say something about having great friends. Of course, I have friends on these forums, but I have only met two of you. (SubSea and Humblefish) Everyone here has been wishing my wife, Dale, good wishes, and I read them to her. She is very grateful and had no idea I even...

I am going to wake her now. I dread this because I don't know how she will feel. I did my snowy walk this morning. We got about a foot. I just came back from my walk

Today is my Dales birthday. Unfortunately it will not be a joyous occasion. She s not any better. :( I am going out now to shovel so I could find my car and open my door. It looks like a foot of snow outside.

We have such great doctors. Last night, Saturday night two of our three neurologists called me to ask about my wife. One of them was her pain Mgt. Doctor. How many times has a doctor called you on a Saturday night to see how you are doing. She is booking another ablation for my wife as soon as...

Unfortunately, my Dale was back in severe pain again last night. She took a half of a morphine pill, but I don't know yet if it helped. If it did and didn't get her sick. Maybe we will try a whole pill today. They only gave her a few pills. I think CVS feels I am going to sell them in a van...

The Doctor was sending the Rx to a pharmacy 25 miles from my home instead of the Pharmacy up the block, where she had been sending prescriptions for the last 8 years. Go figure. :oops:

Dale just got up and thinks she feels a little better. I am so Freekin Happy. I hope it is not just a feeling and a sign she is getting better.

Dale got the nerve block yesterday and hit the ceiling with the needles. She is not much, if any better as of last night. It was supposed to work right away but it didn't. I think she was slightly better, but she says she is just getting used to it. All the doctors say it just has to take time...

Thank God.! I called my wife's PT therapist who is a friend of her Pain Mgt Dr. She called her on her cell phone and the Dr. called me right back. We are going to her tomorrow morning first thing. She is only about 45 minutes away and usually the nerve block works right away. The purpose of...

This is what it looks like when I use my DIY filter to remove some hair algae. The thing is simple to clean

The Surgeon called. He doesn't think it's an infection. He gave her steroids and a painkiller. I thought the reason for this procedure was to get off steroids and painkillers. :confused:

I have a big problem today. My wife is still in pain, maybe more than before the surgery. I am waiting for the surgeon to call me but he is in surgery. As soon as the numbness wore off, the pain started. I don't know if there is an infection or the nerve is irritated but it is getting worse, not...
