Staci's DAD needs Prayers ~ Pain *Fixed* ~ Back HOME & Recovering

[Dorothy39]

I'll keep Mr. M in my Prayers ~

Oh, that poor guy I am so sorry that he has had this setback.

Please keep us updated when you can.

[shais_mom]

they called me around 840 am this morning to tell me not to hurry down!
course they woke me up so I'm showered and getting ready.
He seemed a bit better but who knows....

Now you can skip "rush hour" traffic on the beltway!

Drive Safe - and wish him a Quick Fix.

Call when you know more. {{{Hugs}}}

Oh, Staci. I just saw this update! Prayers on the way for Mr. M!

[Felicia's Mom]

Staci, Sorry to hear about your dad's setback. Will keep him in my prayers.

Staci just called with the GOOD NEWS on "Dad" ...
He's almost "fixed"!

The Sunday Pain Pump kicked in and the pain subsided in his leg.
Today they *starved* him in case Sir Jury was required - but it WASN'T!

They did an MRI and close exam of the Sir Jury site - all the Screws and Rods were In Place,
no missing screwdrivers were spotted ...
the blame is placed on an Inflamed Nerve near the fusion site.

The "Fix" will be administered tomorrow - an Epidural Steroid Injection to reduce
the inflammation at the neve. Should give the nerve time to heal and not have to be repeated.

The actual injection is quick - and Mr. M will be sent home soon after tomorrow's procedure.

He came back to his room **HUNGRY** and hounded the Doc for clearance to EAT!
"OK" said Doc - "I'll tell them to Feed You!"
Doc was no more than out the door and Mr. M had dialed the Kitchen to order! He didn't want
to hear that the Doc hadn't called in the food clearance yet!

He was EAGERLY awaiting his CheeseBurger delivery!

Staci will hang around till her Sis comes after finishing her teaching gig at School;
then head home after dinner.
Big Red Dawg is prolly "on vacation" next door at the Neighbor's house.
Kats should be enjoying a dog-LESS house.

All seems WELL!

Keep Feelin BETTER, Mr. M!!

Thank you God. I'm so glad that the pain in his leg is much better. Here's to a good meal and a good night's sleep in his own bed!

i had an epidural steroid in 2004. worked wonders for me, so here's hoping again.
