BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality New Age Update On Janet's Condition

Janet, I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend. Please have that MRI when you can, though. As I have learned firsthand, the spine is good at hiding problems.

Louise Hay's book is awesome, and interestingly, at the time my back problems started I was literally carrying the world on it! You work so hard at Bella that I'm sure you're home life isn't much different! My back and the resulting fibromylagia and degenerative disc disease forced me to slow down and it's been a blessing in a lot of ways.

As for the chiro's - I'm not trashing the whole profession. I saw 10 or 12 over the years and some were so anti-medical and anti-surgery that I now believe they helped delay treatment and failed to spot what may have been prevented. Just beware of that type, the "know it all." I'd also recommend the ones that don't use manipulation.

Will keep sending energy for your complete return to wholeness!

:love: :love: :love:

Janet, it is SO good to "hear your voice" again! :-)

Please, please take care of yourself - we need you in one piece! And I'll second the thought - do have the MRI, if not this week, then soon. I understand that you might want to wait until you can move a little better, though.

Once again, our thanks to Ron for being in touch with all of us when you couldn't. He sounds like a real peach! When I broke my hand, my husband tried - he cooked and did dishes (I didn't look too closely - it was easier that way). Unfortunately, he never did figure out how to make the bed. Picture, if you will, making a full-size bed with one hand! ;-) It was a hoot!

So please continue to take care of yourself. We'll all miss you while you have to limit your computer time, but we'll appreciate you that much more when you can be "with us."

Blessings,
Mary

Thank you, guys. :love:

And thanks for looking out for me, too!

I'm still walking a bit crooked, and get tired when I sit too long (other than in my recliner). Yet, walking/standing for too long wears me out, too. I get some numbness in my left thigh, sometimes, as well as numbness/itching on my glute muscles. I think I may have a pinched nerve or something, as well.

When I feel up to it, I plan on calling a group of back/sports medicine specialists in a neighboring state for a consult and MRI. Although I don't have any health insurance, I'd rather go to a specialist than pay a little less $ but risk a wrong diagnosis/poor treatment. (I live in a very rural area.)

I'll have Ron read your kind comments Mary and all. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> He's a real sweetie. It was rough being without him yesterday (they're making him work 10 hour days this week), but what can ya do...

I homeschool my son, so that was weighing on my mind, too. Yes, yes Parthena...you're totally correct! The symbolism of the back came to me, too. I totally see the correlation of "no support"... I've had to go it alone much of my life with major difficulties such as taking care of my dying husband.

The Hay book speaks of anger associated with both kidney stones and lumbar stuff...so I'm wondering if I having some repressed anger going on (not that I like to admit that!) But I guess, like AA, you gotta admit you have a problem first... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I also resent the ER doctor for not getting help from orderlies or something to help me out of bed. He just waited for me to rise up on my own strength...saying "It's not good management for me to just let you lie here..." (despite the pain meds not working!) I had to do the same for the X ray and CAT scan table...and the pain was excruciating. I cried out in pain while they just watched me struggle... My husband tried to help, but he has a hernia, so he has to watch himself, too...

Well, I need to take care of myself (and I appreciate the reminders to do so!).

Thanks, Mary, for your kind words and encouragement. It's a blessing to know that my writing/presence blesses others and that I'm missed when not there. (Making a bed with one hand...ack! I haven't made a bed in years... <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> )

Love to you,

Btw, here's some pics of my husband...

The first one is on our wedding day, August 7, 1997:

Take care, you are in my prayers.

Thank you all. :love: And thanks so much for the prayers, Taisha! I surely appreciate them. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi Fiona,

Nice to "meet" you! I've reviewed/read Angel Medicine and have some of Doreen's decks. Personally, I don't get much out of the whole angel thing. I think angels are one of those things you either resonate with...or you don't.

All,

Definitely been looking at the 2nd chakra for over a month now. I'm resting, and realizing a few things. More than resentment, it's really been fear vs. faith--as well sa boundaries, competition, and power (2nd chakra issues). I'm reading a neat book that I pulled off my shelf called "Growing HOpe". Very good book. I really like Sue Patton Thoele.

I'm about 65%-70% better. Talked to someone from the back specialist center in WV. She said it sounded like a sprain...exactly what I thought from my research and experience. The fact that it's resolving itself...getting better every day...points to a sprain rather than a slipped disc.

I appreciate all the prayers and positive thoughts...please keep them coming if you have extra goods in your grace account. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
