  Its okay. My right hip and lowe back on the right is very swollen. A couple inches thick and area about 6 to 9 inches long. I cant move very well. Either my doctor will be available to see me monday or I must seek out the urgent care. Have to take alot of hot bath and wrapped in 2 heating pads. Its okay, just having very hard time and dont feel so hot.

Dear Dani,

I'm praying for your health and pain issues to improve rapidly.....please concentrate on taking care of yourself and don't worry about us! You are very important to this forum, but we all recognize that it's even more important that you take care of you!

Please go to the urgent care if the swelling and/or pain are getting worse!

Very soft, gentle ((((((((((hugs)))))))))),

Dani, I'm sending you Canadian Healing Thoughts...they're a little bit different than American Healing Thoughts because we make them in Igloos.

First, we take a box of random thoughts and mix 1 large spoonful into 2 cups of Warm Chocolate Liquid, stirring until just melted. Then, we add in some nutty folks jokes, a dribble of fluff (marshmallow fluff works best but you can use little squarish marshmallow pillows instead) and we mix it all up with a smile stick.

Place a mug of Canadian Healing Thoughts on a tray, with a selection of Snickerdoodle cookies on the side (because how can you not love the word Snickerdoodles!). Get comfy on a couch under a soft blanket, then take hold of your mug, stare into it's satiny chocolate goodness and breathe deeply, in and out.......in and out.....in and....oh, too far, you've got marshmallow on your nose.

Anyways, enjoy what you've created. Wrap that blanket around you snuggly and remember that every thread represents someone who loves you and is sending you thoughts of healing....probably with their own twist on how to make it!

Take care,
Pam

Dani,
Sure Hope your feeling better soon, Prayers are with you...
Try to keep us posted as to how things are going for you.
(((((((((((((((((((((Dani))))))))))))))))))))))))
lots of healing soft hugz....Maybe try ice packs or alternating between heat and ice...
but please know we are thinking of you...

Oh Dani.  I hope the swelling is down and that you're feeling better today.  Please go see your dr. or urgent care if you're not better.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

love and hugs

   ...well, I should probably tell you why I was in such a rush. Last week my back began to swell, with a deep "pushing" sensation and deep "flu" sensation in my spine and hips. My upper right thigh, right hip and right heel began going number for a few days at a time. That persisted. Then on thursday night I kept getting woken up from pain. When I woke sore and tender on friday I didnt think much of it. At one point I callopsed. By saturday I began running a fever 103, with sharp pains in my right side. My right side was hot and tender to the touch.

     I called my doctor he wanted me to come as soon as I could get dressed and out the door. I was exhausted. He said I had alot of blood in my urine. He think the infection may have traveled to my kidneys. It is no big deal but I had to have some extra testing and labs done. Am to begin taking antibiotics. I will hear results tomorrow about the testing he had done.

     My spine is of great concern. They will be going over my history and all my most recent images / tests this week. I will hear back by no later than thursday with what direction or course of action they feel we should go next. Kinda nervous, but there is no denying I need help. My spine isnt doing well. Not good at all. 

     Thank you so much for your wonderful words of encouragment. It means a lot to me.

     Well, I was called yesterday and asked to go to the spine center today. They wanted to set me up with new exercise programm. Will be for 7 weeks, 2x perweek. These would eventually be everyday exercises. Would also like me to think about seeing a surgeon. No pressure, but they would like to talk more about in a few weeks. ... So. That is a bit to digest. I didnt think I was even a candidate.

      Fever is still going strong. I am unable to urinate very well. My right side is sore, tender and hot still. Little frustraited, this is the last thing I needed.... In any case, I am expecting a call back reguarding my infection. I really hope that nothing more is going on. I would have thought the antibiotic would have gotten things to normal by now. I am tired, very much so. Seem to be sweating an awfull lot. yuck

      I dont know if the "sit down and talk" appointment was the result of them "comming to a decision" about my spine or not. I would gather it probably is but, I can ask some questions when the doctor calls me back. ...my mind has about a thousand questions right now.

      ...so. Thats about it. A lot for me to digest. My head is swimming with thoughts and questions, concerns. Bleh, wish I wasnt so tired on top of it all. The fatigue isnt helping much at all.

Hi Dani. I hope that you feel better soon. It sounds like your doctors are really on top of things. You are in my prayers.

   The new exercise programm will be a welcome addition. I have been on same programm that was designed for me a year and a half ago. Some of it I am just plain struggling to do. I think it is because my body has changed so much since then.

     The surgeon part has me.... bleh, so many questions and thoughts. I just didnt think I was even a candidate yet. A lot to think over no doubt. My husband thinks it is great idea and wants to check into it. I of course am worried about cost, recovery, long term outlook. Mostly cost.
