    Please keep those prayers coming.
    He having horrible leg cramping and right leg pain.
    He called the dr today and they ordered an ultrasound to see if he had a blood clot but it was negative. He was having this pain before the surgery but the dr said that it would go away once the back was straightened up and fixed. Maybe its just the nerves or something but he is icing it and using heat on it and it is bothering him very much.
    THANK YOU for everything thus far!

    Good Grief ~ I thought we had "Dad" all fixed up!

    Hope it's just a nerve spasm that will go away QUICKLY. But don't let him
    "put up" with it for too long ...
    don't be bashful about calling the Surgeon back onto the case.

    Prayers being said for a Quick Resolution and Recovery.

    Hang in there, "Dad" - we're all pulling & praying for you!

    Staci, I'm so sorry your Dad is still in such pain! Leg cramps are the WORST! I pray that they stop soon and he can begin his healing!

    Hugs,

    Staci, I've only been on briefly in the past few weeks so completely missed this. Prayers to your dad. Hopefully the ice and heat will help.

    Yikes, Stace! I thought he was feeling better too!

    I get right leg cramps sometimes too, My doc says it's the nerves that were squished and don't know they're "open" yet. I take quinine pills (yukky) and they help. Please tell your dad that it'll take some time cause everything was so screwy for so long and the spine is so intricate. Please tell your dad that I'm rootin' for him!

    Nerve pain??? Gee, I can sure tell you about that. It's the worst. Staci, please, I agree with Phred. Don't let him wait until Monday. In this day and age, no one deserves to be in pain. There are meds out there that can do wonders. I'm taking Gabapentin for my nerve pain. Maybe your Dad should ask about that.

    Prayers on the way and {{{hugs}}} too.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Staci,

    I've been praying for your dad this week but just didn't get around to posting - lots going on. I am so glad he had the surgery and is home. But I agree with the others. There are too many relief giving drugs out there to sit in pain all weekend. And as far as bothering the doctor on the weekend - that's why they get paid the big bucks!

    Thanks everyone!
    he is still having unbearable pain in the right leg. My mom thinks it is his sciatica - b/c it is constant from heel to tailbone. We had a family get together of his side of the family tonite and he wasn't able to be there. He is sleeping a lot and on muscle relaxers.
    I can't imagine how much this hurts as he has a rather high pain tolerance.
    {hugs}
