Unfortunate issues have arisen...
Well, I have a bit of bad news. First off, Mike went to the orthopedic surgeon for a check up a week ago and was told, he needs another surgery. Apparently his bottoms screws from his Spinal Fusion surgery have loosened. Now when anyone says that Mike has a screw loose, they really mean it. Anyway, the doc is going to remove another disc and insert a bolt between the bottom screws and next screws up. When the doc told Mike this, the color drained from his face completely. He didn't have such a great hospital stay the first time. Boy, I wanted to give him the "I told you so" speech, but I didn't. I figured he learned his lesson and when he gets this one done, he will listen to what the docs tell him to do and listen to me. This surgery requires only a one day stay and a 2 week minimum of healing. They will cut along the old incision and then super glue it closed. He will not be able to take showers for 2 weeks, but I guess I get to play nurse again. I will do what I need to again and pray for the best. Now, the other bad news....My pain injection, though successful has apparently worn off. I have pain once again and it has come back very strong. I am scheduled for another injection in early June, but it will be dependent on Mike's surgery date, as he needs to be well before I can worry about me. I figure things can't get too much worse, as we have hit the bottom, so we gotta be getting back up soon. I ask you all for your prayers and thoughts. They are very much needed for us at this time.Until next time......
