member teeveecloset is lonely and in the hospital - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TeeVeeCloset · 06-21-2007, 10:00 PM

to all my friends on the boards at my favorite site,

i am in the hospital for some dreaded and very scary back surgery for a
herniated lumbar disc pressing on my entire right leg nerve root....i postponed this till i was unable to walk starting last monday.

to my shock there is very primative internet access attached to the pull
over tv....so i am writing this from bed and keeping up with the small but
sweet family of sitcom regular posters.....so hello pav, irene, soloman and all the rest, any feedback and well wishes would certainly brighten my days and nights.

i can only respond to posts since i have no access to my email addresses.

OMG sweetie. I am sorry to hear this. When, how, did this all happen? I won't go into details but I am the back injury queen around these parts.

I had a spinal fusion on my L-4 & L-5 disc. Never been the same. I had bone grafted from my hip. My surgery was done anteriorally (through my lower pelvic area).

Was this sudden for you? Tell me the details if you can.

I will be thinking of you and praying that all works out for you. I know the pain you are in and I can totally sympathize.

I am here for ya my friend. Stay strong.

Back problems are the worse! A little pain can seriously mess up your day! I can't imagine what a bigger problem would be like! You'll be in my thoughts!

Mikado · 06-21-2007, 10:21 PM

I dont know you but, Good Luck , hope all goes well for you

:hugs:

TeeVeeCloset · 06-21-2007, 10:35 PM

leave it to my favorite pal of all, sweet irene to respond first......

on a funny lighter side the hospital keyboard is touch the screen strokes,
so typing a simple paragraph takes very very long, but it works to my
amazement.

as you personally know, it has been quite a rough year for me, not to mention the ion alice cancellation....lol

the l5 disc pressing on s1 started in feb out of nowhere....i had a good
pain management dr but all of a sudden last monday, unbearable severe
pain took over and all meds stopped working and i stopped walking.

i am of course very nervous regarding a planned tuesday surgery, but i really believe my options have run out......thanks for sharing, how r u day 2 day and don't worry be totally honest.....

at least i have a self controlled morphene drip button, it's like being on family feud.

TeeVeeCloset · 06-21-2007, 10:42 PM

wow.......so many kind thoughts from so many already.....thank you all so much, it is very touching......this place is tough especially at night...

your thoughts to the thread again bring a manly tear to my eye...

Ireneparalegal · 06-21-2007, 10:56 PM

I got the feeling that you would be on morphine drip.

Relax, enjoy and take it easy. I am sure the keyboard you are using plus the morphine is probably mind-boggling.

Sorry to hear that your pain management didn't help.

I know too well abt that also. Therapy, massages, swimming pools & water exercises, several injections, etc. I have done it all. I sure do hope the surgery works for you and eases your pain. There is nothing like trying to walk and dealing with that stupid pain that just makes you grimace.

Sorry to read about your back. Listen to the doctor's, rest, relax and I hope you recover soon.
