rodheadlee Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I go in for back surgery Wed AM. They put me off because my bursitis in my elbow got infected. It looks good to me now but we'll see what the doc says when I get down there. It's 320 miles to the hospital so I hope they don't put me off again. My wife is scared I'll die under anesthesia and leave her all alone. I told her not to worry I wouldn't be getting out of work anytime soon. I'll have to live to pay off all the medical bills. Anyway if you felt like praying for us it would be appreciated. I have had a lot of back pain for a lot of years so I'm looking forward to it. Thanks. 4

Tacenda Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Back pain is no fun, technology is amazing these day, and hoping it will be proven with you Rod!
Rajah Manchou Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Back pain is the worst. Hope you can find some relief post surgery. All the best.

rodheadlee Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 Thanks everybody! It's been put off one day.but we're good to go.
Garden Girl Posted August 20, 2016 Posted August 20, 2016 I hope you will seek a priesthood blessing even though you have probably had your surgery by now... I believe you have the faith to receive the blessing... and of course you are in my prayers, you and Patti both. GG
rodheadlee Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks I,m out but I'm kinda dingy. I'm staying at my mom's right now thanks for all your prayers I'll talk to you later on and I can make more sense. 1

One night I dreamed I was a detective in London and I got in a auto accident. The perp tried to kill me and my dog, that's why i was in a hospital in England. It took fifteen minutes of being awake before I figured out I was in San Pedro, Ca. The first nurse that opened her mouth killed it. 3
Calm Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 One surgery I dreamed I was Wonder Woman. First time I had morphine and even awake I was feeling invincible. 1
Jeanne Posted August 24, 2016 Posted August 24, 2016 Looking for great success to match your faith that all will be well. Hugs..Jeanne P.S. As for the floating and dreams..I have got to find some minor surgery somewhere.. Keep us posted! 1
Popular Post rodheadlee Posted September 23, 2016 Author Popular Post Posted September 23, 2016 I just wanted to thank you all again for your prayers. I went back to work exactly 4 weeks after the surgery. My back seems fine with no nerve problems below the waist. I was about ready for a wheel chair when I went in. I am once again able to walk long distances without pain. Thanks! 5
Jeanne Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Woot! A bearer of good news and so happy for you!!!

Pain is perhaps not the worst (well, bad enough it sure feels like it, but in lighter amounts I would choose it over anxiety and depression), but the fact that it can limit us to being couch potatoes (and not even be able to enjoy being 'lazy') and remove the fun from life...it is so nice to hear that is not going to be your situation, especially given your choice of living on a boat with your wife. What a great blessing medicine can be. 1
Brent Sohlden Posted October 8, 2016 Posted October 8, 2016 So glad to hear that you are feeling so much better rod! God bless you and yours!
