hang in there----it sounds like you are in the hands of a good doctor....if it was life threatening at this very minute they would have already put you in the hospital......it's just nail biting time to get the test(s) done and then wait on the results---lots of prayers coming your way---please let us know how all goes

hey, where's our freakin' mormon when we need him? all pray pray pray and water balloons, and our pal lp is hurtin"!
j/k lp. i'm sorry to hear about your pain, but stop stuffing your face and get some sleep, already.
somehow you just have to rest your mind, and your body will follow. your body can't heal without sleep. resting while awake ain't enough. trust me, i know. i know about lack of sleep.
and eat a lot of seaweed and raw seeds. i'm not kidding. i was beating myself into the ground recently with work and being a dad. i felt tired all of the time, and started to get aches in my joints and debilitating cramps like charlie horses around my ribcage.
i'm not sure if it's the extra fiber, or nutrutive values of these foods (for the seaweed: nori, kapanese and korean seaweed salads, roasted laver, and dulse. for the seeds: pumpkin, sunflower, and flax) but i swear i'm 30 again.
ok, 35.
i'm not that stupid.
hmmm, i'm not sure that i've ever given this advice before. it sounds like i'm telling you to live the life of a family dog. eat a lot, sleep a lot, look for treats and affection, and poop well.
i wanna be a dog.

Thanks, BuckyT, I really DO appreciate your advice. And looking at my two dogs, asleep at my feet, I wouldn't mind right now living their life.
Okay, tomorrow I stay in bed and get DH to pick up some sushi and a trip to the Asian supermarket. My kind of food....that's why I haven't been eating lately!
And thanks to everyone else. On one hand I hate to sound like I am complaining but on the other, it is so nice to know I have so much support.
PS BuckyT, did the little guy enjoy his big day?

arthritis
Have you considered acupuncture? I myself have not had it but my dog who I consider part of the family, has arthritis. My regular vet seemed to look very depressed when he took x ray and gave me the results. I know him well enough to know he didn't want to say what he was really thinking. The end! That night I got on computer and wrote this local forum about pets asking if anyone had dogs with arthritis. Sure enough this lady suggested I go see this doctor who deals mainly in acupuncture. I was desperate. I visited him and he said he would advise to give it try. I have been going for four weeks now and the dog is not walking or running but he is able to continue to move on his own. and what is truly amazing. He had cataracts. They are gone. He now looks out the car window when I am driving. Before he just laid on the seat and looked to the floor. call me crazy if you want but when you really want help you will try anything. I am certainly grateful as I now feel I am going to go for acupuncture myself. the doctor moves like young person and says he does it to himself. You think he would admit it if it didn't work? If there is life why not work with what you got? The docs here in US don't know everything. More and more people are looking to other countries for what they have to offer.
Do not dare dismiss prayer. That to me is highest in my life. So very often I have not taken time and wonder why I feel so upset. If I give God His time He just seems to make the day one I can handle. Please take time to meditate and 'cast your care on HIm' If you can just admit too much for you, He will answer in His own way. I so often prayed for my crippled cousin to be able to walk. I had to accept it wasn't my decision. God only allowed for him to be able to have such a beautiful sense of humor and a love for everyone. No matter how people stared at him, it didn't bother him. One of God's mysterious ways. I am so thankful in my life I have seen God in action in many people's lives. I believe He allowed this so I would know He doesn't overlook anyone. I pray that God will give you strength to also accept and give you help in the cross you carry. I am also grateful believe in prayer.

I'm with you on this one LP. Get well, ASAP! Nevermind about the cakes and such, take care of you first.

I'm with In the Kitchen on this one....My cousin, a pastor of a UMC congregation in Texas, had severe pain in her hip and leg. Osteoarthritis, sciatica. Steroids and surgery were recommended by her specialists and she declined. After much prayer she went to an acupuncturist. She had to go weekly at first, and now is down to every other week. Eventually, Lord willing, it will be once a year for maintanance. She claims the pain is nearly 100% gone.

hmmm, i guess we should include the acupucncturists themselves in our prayers, no?
