Well I have made it for 2 weeks now. Doctors day is in 2 days and I'm holding lots of hope with this visit. The crap that has been thrown at me the last 5 weeks has been unbearable. Changed my way of thinking alot. If I made it through this last 2 weeks I'm pretty sure I can make it the rest of my life. ;) Unless stress kills me first.
Thanks for all the help.
Terri

Hi jazphoto.
I hear you about healing and exercises. I go to the doctor this Thursday and I am praying he lifts some of these restrictions. It's hard not being able to do anything. My mind is always on smoking. I am looking forward to a very long walk if he allows it. I'm hoping that the new bone is forming like it should.
I haven't been able to post much because I have my 2 grandkids and they sure keep me busy.
Good luck to you. Let's just say we are healing in 2 places :)

My heart goes out to you because I know what a pinched nerve feels like. There are no meds that take the pain away. I am lucky enough to have insurance so I was able to have mine fixed.
Theres not a moment yet that I havent really wanted to smoke but I am so afraid it will kill the new tissue.
Have you tried acupuncture? It sucks with no insurance but maybe the chiropractor will be cheaper. I went through all the treatments including acupuncture and it did relieve some of the pain for awhile. I also took Motrin and switched between cold packs and hot packs every 20 minutes.
I know the fight is much harder when you are in pain. I fight really hard everyday.
Stay strong. I'm thinking about you and hope you get some much needed relief soon.
Good luck!!

Yipee. I did make it. It sure was hard though. But I think this time I am going to make it. Thanks to each and everyone of you guys. And a special thank you to Tutti. :p She keeps me in line. haha I look forward to hearing from everyone. I feel pretty good so far this evening even if I just woke up from a nap. LOL I've only got like 9 days left before I see the doctor and hopefully he will let me get up and do more. I know I will feel lots better then.
Good luck to each and everyone of you!!!!

Ah I'm so sorry about your grandbabies. Hopefully you will get some soon. They mean the world to me. I'm doing this for them too. I did alot of walking and thinking today.
I think your husband meant well. But there shouldn't be any cigs. in reach. To tempting!!! My husband has them all over the house. So far I just walk past them and think "I will not cave". I am getting better at it. I wish he would make it easier but he's not and I just have to deal with it.
The weather was pretty nice today. Little chilly but sunny. They are calling for storms the next few days. I hate that. Maybe I will just sleep them away. LOL
Thanks for remembering its been a week. It always helps to hear someone say congrats.
Stay strong I may need you alot. :)
Terri
PS-The smokes must cost alot more here by comparing our meters.

Congrats to you. I wish my husband would quit with me. Sure would make it easier. But he is not ready yet I guess. Good luck to you.
