Thanks for sharing about the "...Diabetes Wife,<br />Thanks for sharing about the "new" pain your husband now has. I followed your posts throughout his surgery, and was horrified.<br /><br />Mine has talked to countless doctors about doing back surgery for the spinal stenosis. No one wants to touch him because of all his myriad health issues. That's okay for awhile, and then he decides to ask about it again . . . sometimes going to the very same doctors who already told him "no" the first time!Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850646712565307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732590261022072879.post-61020362041090060232011-11-23T09:51:10.144-05:002011-11-23T09:51:10.144-05:00My hubby had spinal stenosis surgery in February. ...My hubby had spinal stenosis surgery in February. I would advise against it. Yes, it did relieve "that" pain, but because the spine is fused, his upper back and hips now hurt. So while it fixed one problem, it created two more and I just don't see the balance. He never used a walker, still won't - he just sits in his chair all day long.Diabeteswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766498325089988838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732590261022072879.post-85408016214532292262011-11-20T13:36:10.690-05:002011-11-20T13:36:10.690-05:00Tom's Wife,
Thank you, and yes it sounds &quo...Tom's Wife,<br /><br />Thank you, and yes it sounds "on target." Yes, I know he has problems with his legs, but WHY, OH WHY would he not try to prevent his own falls? I'm more than "sort of" irritated at this point. Yesterday he slept all day long, got up at 8:00 P. M., ate "breakfast," and was back in bed somewhere between 2 and 3 A. M., after drinking coffee as well. It is now 1:30 P. M., and he is still in bed. At least it's quiet around here!<br /><br />So sorry about the nonsense you are dealing with . . . guess we have both had it!<br /><br />Take care and hang onto your sanity,<br /><br />LillyLillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850646712565307929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732590261022072879.post-71544423335163355302011-11-20T13:07:54.954-05:002011-11-20T13:07:54.954-05:00Lilly,
