May end up in hospital (slipped disk again, getting worse, #52)

Kirsten, I feel so bad for you. I also know what it's like to have constant pain. Sciatica is brutal. I had to have extensive physical therapy and get my TENS unit when I last had a flareup. It is no fun. My thoughts and prayers are going out to you. You have had your share and more of heartbreak!!

Thanks for your moral support anyone! The good thing is, my physiotherapist made an appointment for me with an orthopedic specialist in Göttingen tomorrow, and I hope that one will get me a quick apppointment for an MRI. My doctor said this morning that - if she would send me - it would take up to 8 weeks until I'll get that appointment, so she suggested to have a specialist involved.

Randi, that catsitting group sounds very nice, and it doesn't surprise me that you've been called "the best catsitter ever"!

I wish you'd live closer, so I could hire you!

Kirsten

We'll be thinking of you, thanks for keeping us updated! Were I nearby, I'd even catsit the girls - even though I am allergic, I used to catsit one boy when his folks were away, and he got used to being petted through a paper towel!

Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear that you're having health problems again.

I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

I know what you are going through Kirsten as I have back problems aggravated by torn rotator cuffs and bad feet.
Its getting harder and harder lugging home bargains for my Found Cats , but as I am alone I have to do the best I can.
The Found Cats , The Porch Cats , Angels and I are all praying for You Kirsten
