Good friends are the best friends

[Amore55]

I have been struggling with my back pain for quite a while now. I had to leave a meeting last night because of it. There were a lot of my best friends there. It was so nice because today I had 5 of them call me to check on me. I feel so blessed to have such good people in my life here. It’s not often that a person moves to a new community and can make good friends in the time I have since I have been here. Also one of them is having his hip replaced tomorrow so if you would please keep him in your prayers, I am grateful. Love to all, Kelly

Thank you. And my prayers continue for you. I continue to keep you in my thoughts daily.

[jimeka in reply to Amore55]

Thank you. What have you done to your back? 💜

[Amore55 in reply to jimeka]

I have no idea. It’s been hurting since last March. I had an ablation done in July, but it didn’t help. Tried chiropractor, massage therapy, now doing physical therapy twice a week. I get injections every month, but now I’m going to get the injections which will be for long term relief , hopefully. We decided that this was probably the next logical step for my treatment. Some people get put under for it, but he said that I will be just fine awake because I do great with all of the injections each month. I usually get between 18-25 every month, at one time. I’m sure hoping for a positive outcome. I don’t let it slow me down much, but sometimes it just gets to be too much.

[Amore55 in reply to jimeka]

One additional thing. The only reason we can figure is that the number of kids I had affected my back long term.

[Sandydemop in reply to Amore55]

how many kids are we talking about? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

so sorry that your back is acting up. Keep doing what works and try not to over-do. sending love and prayers. very glad you found a community

[Amore55 in reply to Sandydemop]

My hubby and I have eight kids, which came from my body! Thus, the wear and tear on my back!

[Sandydemop in reply to Amore55]

G-d bless you. I can only hope there were some twins and triplets

[Amore55 in reply to Sandydemop]

Numbers six and seven are identical twin boys. I have 3 daughters and 5 sons. When the twins were born, I had 3 in diapers for quite a while. Then I had number 8 and had 3 in diapers again for a while! It was a crazy time, but fun. It was fun dressing the twins. We even had to paint their toenails different colors when we brought them home from the hospital to help keep them straight for feedings and such! I kept charts to remember when they were fed and things. Twins are a whole different game.

[Sandydemop in reply to Amore55]

you continue to amaze me. i had one and he was a handful!

[Amore55 in reply to Sandydemop]

I have heard that no one is busier than a mother of one! 😀

[Sandydemop in reply to Amore55]

that means a lot coming from a mother of 8 but you're correct. it was all Daniel all the time.

[Amore55 in reply to Sandydemop]

Yes, I had a lot of friends who had one child when my kids were little. I swear they were so much busier than I was trying to entertain that child. My kids always had something to do. They didn’t watch television, because we were on the farm, so they could play outside most days. I mean they could watch it, but I tried not to make it a habit. How old is your son?

[Sandydemop in reply to Amore55]

26. I am very proud of him. He is a nurse. It took a while to find what was right for him but he is settled into a routine now. I can (mostly) stop worrying about him. what about your kids? do they live nearby? My son is 2000 miles away where his girlfriend is in school.

And the rest of you as well! God bless you!

Also, don't forget that MS is a disease of the brain & SPINAL CORD!
