I’m pretty shaky from all the narcotics I’m on, so we’ll see how this update goes…
I’m sleeping better with oxygen. That’s a praise! I’m still sleeping a lot during the day, but not quite as much.
My pain is still not under control, so when the infusion nurse comes out on Friday to refill my pump, she is also going to change the amount of medicine that is constantly going in my body. It’s not changing by a lot, but hopefully it will do something.
The pain is the worst at my hips and right shoulder. It’s ok when I’m laying down, but moving and walking hurts. I tried a diclofenac patch and a heating pad on those areas (not at the same time), but neither helped.
It’s been busy around the house as school starts a week from tomorrow. The girls are all very excited to go back. I hope that lasts more than one day!
I still have an appetite. My current diet is Lemon Noosa Yogurt, Creamsicles and See’s butterscotch suckers. I do eat whatever is made for dinner and occasionally something different for lunch, but those are my 3 favorites things right now. It’s very healthy, I know. 🙂 When the Dr. says to eat what ever tastes good, who am I to argue with the Dr?
Well that’s it for now. I will write more later.
Sending best wishes to the girls as they start a new school year! Sending you our love!
It was SO good to hear from you! Please know that you are in my prayers OFTEN….you AND your family. Glad the oxygen is helping you sleep. Pray that SOMETHING will alleviate the pain too!
So good to hear from you and I want to assure you that I am praying for you.
I love lemon Noosa too! I’ll be praying they can find the right adjustment for your medicine so you can be more comfortable and enjoy more hours in your days. We’re headed back to school in Texas too and I’m already missing summer breaktime. Thank you for making time to let us know how you’re doing. You’re often in my prayers!
So thankful to see your post this evening… you’ve been very much on my mind and in my prayers… praying for peace, pain relief and good sleep… and for Tom and your girls as well as your Dad.
(Glad you’ve found some yummy foods to eat!)
God Bless you Sweetheart
I am on oxygen 24/7
It does help
Enjoy the things you like to eat
I pray the blood of Jesus Christ over you every moment
It feels clean

I will include the girls in my prayers for the school year too. I start with second graders tomorrow. It’s nice that we can all get back in class.

Shanna
So glad to hear the oxygen is helping! Continued prayers for all of you and especially the girls starting school next week! ❤
Thank you for taking the time to write an up date. I am praying everyday, trusting that God knows just what you need. It is good to hear that you are sleeping better. I will pray specifically that they find the right combination of things to give you relief from the pain without making you too drowsy during the day. Many schools have started here too. Where did the summer go?? Hugging you in my heart this morning. Wendy
It’s a blessing to hear from you! I’ve never tried lemon Noosa so now I think I should with your endorsement I continue to pray for God’s strength to carry you each day. Glad to hear the girls will soon be back into their routine. My grands went back today. May the Lord bless your day ❤
Thanks for the update! Glad the oxygen helps you sleep, will pray for your appointment Friday that it will help! Praying the girls will continue to be excited about school. You and the family are in our daily prayers! We love you, Chuck and Bobbie
Jennifer,
thank you for your updates. I know it is hard to update but we do appreciate them. Praying the pain pump will be increased enough to help with your pain. You and your beautiful family are always in our prayers, Jennifer. I am glad the oxygen is working for you and pray you have a restful sleep. Love, Aunt Carol
Jennifer –
We are praying for you regularly and frequently…. I will be praying that the adjustment of the meds in the pain pump give you better pain control… We will be praying for the girls as they start a new school year! And for the oxygen to continue to help! And so glad you have foods that you enjoy!
Love you lots – Sue Rieger
Praying for all of you. Love from SoCal.
