AS some who follow along know, I had some back surgery in early March to remove arthritis deposits pressing on my spinal chord.
That seemed to go well --recovery was a challenge living alone..but I followed the rules closely!
Started therapy and did very well... One exercise gave me fits but I was told to "push thru". 4th of July it blew up...bursitis and tendonitis from that exercise...all in the left hip bursa sack.
Never had THAT before! :)
Laid off for a few weeks, then gave in and got a cortisone shot in that area...laid off activity a few more weeks and yesterday, at work, I "stepped" wrong I guess and it felt like I was shot! Same place.
Sorta scary. So good for so long and now all these complications.
Things go so well and then after they messed with nerves in L3, L4, L5 and S1 bi-laterally, all this sets in 3 mos later and is a bit spooky! :(
Lord forgive my fears, but I could use some prayers from my friends here... feel a bit beaten down by "stuff" and then this!
Thanks folks! :) Working on my own advice to:
Keep the Son in my eyes!

You got prayers on the way from Ky. As many as you send up for us I imagine we will have you prayed back to health in no time!
-
God bless you Doc, prayers sent.
-
Well Doc I will surley keep you in my prayers even more so. I thank you remembering to allow us to lift you in prayers to the seat of our Father who "Will never leave us nor forsake us".
1 Peter 5:6-8.
Father take this pain away even as I and sending this note. Lord you know Doc"s heart and you know the need he has right now with his hip right now. Father you know all the needs we all have this day. Father we need Doc here to lean on and to prop us nd point us in the right direction at time. Father show forth your strength and power in his life and give him healing even now. I love you Father and ask this according to your will.......Amen.......Dusty

Amen. Praying for God to be so close and so strong for you that as your head is bowed down in sorrow you feel it resting on His chest. Praying for the healing purchased by Jesus to be alive and strong for you.

You will be in my prayers Doc!

Thank you all!!
I just got back from the phys. Therapist. He's a HS buddy of mine who owns this practice.
He gave me a real thorough going over poking and proding and makin me yelp. :)
His prognosis isn't a "medical" one, but I'll take it: He feels that this isn't the bursa flared back up, but all the limitations I've gone thru to allow that bursitis to heal, made that hip that much weaker, and the nerve is still ticked off for having been moved around in surgery. :knothead:
:pray: Thank you Lord. May Tim's diagnosis be the case, if it be your Will.
You think you're doing the right things but this "nerve" stuff is freaky! :(
Still hurts a lot, but if he's right, I'm not in as bad a situation as I feared! That is a good thing. Pain I can take... back to taking it low and slow. Gee, I didn't think I was doing anything else but that...but he showed me how weak that side really is! Yikes!
Thanks for the prayers! I'm claiming all the victory in Him and giving Him the praise that it's not worse...and you guys share in the credit for being there in jack time for me with your prayers!! Thank you!!!
-
Praying for you.
-
Amen to the victory!
-
Prayers sent up for you buddy. Hang in there. I know how the battles can be, but he allows us to win always.
-
Thanks, guys! :)
Yeah, Galen and Charlie, you BOTH know about "keeping the faith" in the face of adversity.
My stuff pales to drivel in comparison. You've both taught me a lot.
Thanks for being there. As we all know when we're cut back in our activity due to health, we just seem to feel the world/clock/life stands still and we're not moving forward.
Thank you Lord for the reality that regardless of trials in this life, our true rewards are yet to come.
Amen

You are in my daily prayers as always.
Brother Dave

Thanks, Dave, that is a given from you that I cherish!
Service was hot, no A/C and packed church. Lots of testemonies. Lots of tears. Was amazing to see how Jim had changed from the years we ran together a lot, to his later life with a good wife behind him course-correcting his mischevious self.
He will be missed greatly. Be well Jim. The world misses you.

Prayers to you Doc !!

Doc, You are always in my Prayers and please do not hesitate if there is anything I can do for you. Stay strong bro, Ed

LOL...getting old a ain't for sissies... I posted to the wrong one of my own 2 threads... LOL... I was wanting to post to the thread last weekend where I learned a HS buddy who was living large in early retirement ended up dying in a boating accident...
Ayeee... loosing my marbles... don't matter, can't hardly get on my knees to shoot marbles anymore anywho! :laughing:
Guess I needed a good laugh after that memorial service even if it meant laughing at my own self.
But sitting 2 hours jammed in a pew didn't help the sore hip either, come to think of it..but I was sweatin so bad, it dind't matter!
Thanks for the prayers my friends...both for me here and for my friend, Jim Lefever and his wife, grown daughters and their kids who miss their Husband, father and grandpap!
Back to our regularly scheduled program. :)

Praying for your recovery Dave...†

PRAYERS SENT..MARCO.....

Lost Marbles? Doc, I was remnded of something I was told a long time ago by a friend involved in Rodeo. I was moving from riding bulls into to bull fighting. Most people call them rodeo clowns but they are the first defence for the cowboy after he exits a bull or even more so when he is trying to exit but has his hand fouled in the rope. Anyway I ask him how to become a good bull fighter and he told me to go to the 5 and dime (some of you might remember them) and buy the biggest bag of marbles I could find. He said to fill my mouth with them and everytime I got hit, horned or run over by a bull to spit one out, and when I had lost all my marbles I would be a good bull fighter. LOL!!!!
Doc, I'm still praying for all your needs Brother.......Dusty
-
You got 'em Doc. Hang in there, the back's probably overloaded from all of our burdens you're carrying. Let's go folks, Doc ain't the only one on this site that can pray!

But I ain't gittin in no ring with them snotty bulls! Nope! Yer own yer own! :)
Richard,
Thanks buddy. HOpe things are going better with your onery shift and adjusting to the time change!
All,
PT bud thinks this is a pulled muscle. More rest and tiny, baby exercises! Doh! Thought I was done with this silly stuff, but I'll do them! :(
Got to a shoot yesterday and managed to Bewy CAWFUFLLY negotiate the slippy parts, down hill slides and didn't shoot all that badly either! Yea! :)
Thanks guys, now lets go focus on those with bigger problems!

I'm doing ok this week, guys!
I have to do these maddening "baby exercises" to rehab that leg/hip muscle. Geeze...seemed necessary after surgery, but then things went swimmingly and all of a sudden 4 mos later...whammo! :knothead: :D
But really, I'm doing ok. Just thought from all effort and results, I'd be much farther along for hunting season and then...this.
But I really am fine...great compared to so many on here. Let's focus on their needs. Lord's taking care of mine if I but be paitent and be cautious! I'm so grateful it's not a recurrance of the bursitis, but just the pulled muscle from being weak. Slow but sure!
Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement.

Oh, Chip,
Look at that freckle-nose, red-headed ball of mischief right there!!! :clapper: :pray:
Man, who'd have thought that bald-headed bundle so long ago with half a heart would have so much heart in him, eh?
Yes, Chip...that makes me smile! It makes my heart smile, too!
But might I add, that I think I'm glad that "I'm" not the one having to corral that bundle of energy and obvious "what can I get into next" look!
Bless you Garrett. Thank you Lord! Thank you Chip!
