**Maya & Inka's mommy** · 01-06-2007, 07:14 AM

This morning I received a very special gift!! As I was laying down on the couch, it was my daughter Indra who opened the door. It was a man from a local flowershop with a gift for me!

the included note:

Dear Denise, Karen and Jen, THANK YOU so much for this thoughtful gift!! You all know how much I adore flowers

This really made my day!!!

THANKS A MILLION !!!!!

ps. For those who don't know what this all about:
I am suffering from a pinched nerve in my back. The nerve is not trapped anymore, but is severily inflamed, which is giving terrible painshoots in my left leg. I got 2 root-infiltration shots 2 weeks ago. But as the pain is all back, I am getting 2 more injections next tuesday.... . Let's hope it will work for a longer time now....! That is the reason why I haven't been posting on PT lately. Sitting on a chair is a big pain-trigger. So lots of "horizental" resting for me...!
Thanks again for the flowers, they brought a bright smile from ear to ear on my face

I don't think that pink tulips have a special meaning. Anyway, I LOVE them!!!

UPDATE
I went to the doc today, and he decided that giving 2 more similar injections might not solve the problem at all. So I will get an epidural next thursday; I have to stay at the hospital all afternoon after that. I must say I am VERY scared. The last epidural I got in my back was extremely painful (I even fainted); so...... I am not really looking forward to this one....

**JenBKR** · 01-09-2007, 02:54 PM

Oh Lut, I am so sorry that you have to go through that. Is that Thursday of this week or next? ((((hugs)))) and know that we will be thinking of you!

It is tomorrow (this week). I am scared to death, but I realize I need it badly...! Please pray that this will work for me; because: if no, I will get back surgery

, and I am NOT at all looking forward to that at all....

I missed this thread completely somehow. Either I was asleep or blind. Sorry.

Beautiful flowers. You girls are so great. And what a lovely surprise for dear Lut. I hope and pray that epidural works Lut. I will be thinking of you my lovely friend.

gentle (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
fingers, toes, whiskers and paws crossed for you. Vixen asks me to send some of her soft headbumpies and rubs for you to help you feel better as well.

Take care sweetie. We will be thinking of you and praying for the best with the epidural.

There will be an entire roomful of people "with" you on Thursday {{{hugs}}}

**petslover** · 01-10-2007, 05:08 PM

Lut, I wish you the best. I am sorry that such a wonderful person like you is going through so much pain right now. I hope that the pain goes away. I will be praying for you at this time. Just try to stay calm (I know easier said than done) but just try to get as much rest as you can. I'll be thinking of you.

-hugs-
