Kirsten,
I am so sorry to hear you need surgery. I pray that you will find it a relief, you have had such pain. I hope Luna will get lots better before your surgery.

Hugs and prayers.

Oh Kirsten, I'll be praying for you! *hugs*

my aunt just had this procedure done not too long ago. Hers was so severe that she had numbness and pins and needles all on one side of her body. (happened from a specific injury, not over time) She said she felt better right when she woke up.

I know surgery is a very scary thought, but we'll be so happy when you are healthy and back to normal again!

Ouch Kirsten! That MRI looks terrible! (((Hugs))) to you across the miles for a successful surgery and a speedy return to good health.

Dearest Kirsten,
I am really sorry to hear that you require surgery, it is always a scarey thought, but I am certain you will come through it with flying colours because everyone on PT will be praying and sending you positive vibes for a speedy recovery.

I sure understand your'e worry about the kitty's , I hate the thought of leaving mine even for a day, but they will be fine, just concentrate on getting well Kirsten so you can be re-united with them as soon as possible.
Take care and speedy recovery wishes are on their way.

Kirsten. You have ALL of PT praying for you! I know this is very scary, but I know you will come through this very well. The worst thing will be being away from your two babies especially when Luna needs you. Well, Nikki, Daisy, and I send you prayers and ((((HUGS)))) from Pittsburgh!!

[Kirsten]

I thank you very much for your support and all the prayers!!! I'm very much in pain today so I think it's the best to have it done quickly - but of course I first have to make an appointment with a neurosurgeon and hear what he says.

It's encouraging to hear about people who had it done and who are feeling so much better after. Being without pain would be nice... and something definitely has to happen because this way I'm not able to make a living for myself and the girls. No way!!

Luna seems to do better at the moment, and I hope I'll be able to find out what kind of bacteria is bothering her before I go to hospital. Actually I don't want to give her to an animal clinic or something like that while I'm away... It would confuse her and depress her to be taken away from home, and being seperated from both me and Lily! Same goes for Lily! I'm sure she can deal very well with the fact that I'm away - as long as she has Luna around! Lily is very focussed on Luna, she's definitely the most important person in her life! I hope I'll have the time to care for Luna's bladder problem!

@Barbara: The orthopaedist I saw on Saturday mentioned something like micro surgery and lasering, so I hope it's possible to do it that way - I'm aware that the disc looks very bad and it scares me a lot! I'm feeling like there's a time bomb waiting to explode inside of me. I really don't want to wait much longer now, after I've seen it!

Oh Kirsten, I'm so sorry! I hope the surgery is quick and that you heal up real soon. Prayers and healing vibes sent your way. *hugs*

[Karen]

We will keep you in our prayers, and hope that the surgery - and the relief - come soon! ANd that Miss Luna is alllllllll better right quick, so momma doesn't have to worry!

[Steffi N]

Dear Kirsten, I hope very much that your surgeon is able to perform the laser/microsurgery procedure and that you recover quickly and are left pain free.

Oh, Kirsten, you are in my thoughts! Take care and do what the doctors all say-make sure you give yourself enough time to recuperate! Well wishes to you and the kitties too!

Hugs and headbumpies!

Kristen,

I'm so sorry to hear you have to have surgery. But, hopefully, it'll fix you all up...wouldn't that be great??? I'll be praying hard it goes well and you heal so quick they will send you home early to your kitties.

I wish you lived closer...then we could all be PT nurses for you.

Feel better sweetie.

Love,
Kelly
