R.S.Hoover's Back Operation

Hi guys,

I'm doing good. They DID do the procedure. The pain was an artifact
OF the procedure. I should of been FORCED to take the painkillers
about 1500 instead of being allowed to sleep. But the instructions
fell into an information gap somewhere between the physician and me.

I'll probably end up addicted to morphine but I'm willing, so long as
it keeps the pain at bay. Which it does, if they give me enough of
it.

Right now I'm feeling no pain; shoulld be able to bathe by myself.
Mixed feelings about that :-)

Lab results are VERY GOOD. Going down this morning for another check
but if the present trend continues, I'm on the road to recovery, at
least from that portion of the PAIN. If we can keep the pain
corralled we're good to go for a more aggressive chemotherapy regime;
go after the tumor where it lives. The more of it we can eat up with
the chemo, the better my chances of being around for Christmas. And
beyond.

Vetebroplasty. Good medicine. Cats gave me head-dives this morning
as I WALKED amongst them. No canes. And NO PAIN.

Still got a few probllems to work out, such as no strength, but the
lab reports say the demon is back in its cave. So take a bow, guys.
A lot of this has been due to your support, most of which has not been
publicly posted. Hell of a note, Badwater Bill and all, happening at
the same time. I'd rather have the pain if it would bring him back.

That is good news. Glad to hear you are mobile again. I don't post a
lot here but do follow it daily.

Hooray and thank goodness, Bob you were way overdue for a reprieve.
Next Christmas indeed, you’ve got to stick around and pass on know how
and stories to all of us a whole lot longer than that. Strength will
come back to you with a bit of time and exercise, as strong willed and
self determined “crusty?” an individualist as you are I certain
you’ll achieve remarkable results. Hang in their and “Press the
Fight”.

My wife went through back surgery last May, and she is doing great. I hope the same for you! Just don't push it and be
sure to get through that communication barrier information gap with the doc...

Glad you're feeling better. According to my surgeon friend, if you're
taking it for real pain, addiction is unlikely. Use what it takes. You'll
feel better, you'll heal faster.
And then Modern Medicine can figure out something else to do to you.

God Bless you, Bob. Never give up the ship.

Don't be bashful about taking the medication. "Morphine is your best
firend", my doc used to say, applicable to times when you are hurting. The
releif promotes the healing.

Or as we used to say, "Better living through chemistry". . . . wait, that
was from a commercial, wasn't it.

Yep. Happens at times.

Difference between you and me must be that you put up with the pain, and I
would have been on the phone whinning for more and better pain meds! g

Hell with the addiction. You can worry about beating that, later. Tests
have shown that patients heal better, and faster, when pain is under
control.

And what more can a person ask for, except perhaps no cats? g
