Hi all

I wasn't sure where to put this since people can ignore certain topics now, and I wanted as many of the people I talk to on here as possible to see this. First of all, I'm not doing this to get sympathy. I'm one of those people who worries what happened to someone when they stop coming on the zone. So in case any of my friends start wondering what ever happened to me, I'll probably be in the hospital for at least a few days and maybe longer. And no, I'm not taking my computer.

Not only have I been having back spasms that won't let up for three days, but now an ulcer on my right foot that had healed three years ago has opened up.

If any of you pray, I'd appreciate a few prayers. I'm not a very religeous person, but I always appreciate someone saying they'll pray for me.

I hope they figure out the cause of these horendous back spasms and get the ulcer closed before it becomes infected.
Good luck and I hope to catch up with you on here soon. Please keep us posted on how recovery is going when you come back and are feeling up to it. Hugs.

Becky,

Both the back spasms as well as
the hurt foot,
well both are troublesome to have
Yet to have BOTH at the same time
and in all this hot weather
I should think that so ultra un-comfortable you
must be feeling.
Becky, take it easy, rest and hopefully
the air conditioner will be turned on.

Sending some cyber balloons here to give
you a bit of cheer.

Connie

{AND you Becky, know exactly "Who" it is that is
HoPping along with a bunch of flowers from
the garden for you!! }

Man, that sounds painful, and I'm sure everyone else who sees this will agree with me; hospitals are not fun, especially if you're there for a prolong period. Best of luck to you...

Here's to hoping you get well quickly. Hope there's someone there to look after you while you're in the hospital ...

Wow! I honestly didn't expect to see many responses to my post. Thank you all for your kind words.

Without going into a lot of details, I spent four full days in the hospital and part of a fifth day. Ironically the MRI to look at my back and see what was going on was the most painful part of my hospital experience. It was absolutely excrutiating to have to lie flat on my back on that MRI table. They practically had to give me enough pain meds to kill a horse to get me to lie down for yet a second MRI to see if the infection in my foot had gone clear to the bone.

Bottom line, I'm still having some back pain but no spasms for the last day or two. Foot is definitely infected, and the MRI for my back found another totally unexpected problem which I won't go into detail about. Suffice it to say I am in a lot of trouble healthwise.
