Blackwater 53393 Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 Next Thursday morning, Shotgun Schoolmarm will undergo surgery for a ruptured disc in her lower back. I’ve been hounding her to see a doctor because she has been experiencing pain in her legs and lower back for some time now and serious problems with her posture and sleep. She has finally taken action and all of the preliminary preparations have been made. They say that she’ll be home by Friday if all goes well and should be right with the world in a few weeks! Y’all give her a good thought if ya’s can spare it!!

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Posted May 5, 2023 Right now, it’s just sit and wait. They took her off of some of her cancer meds because they lower the white blood cell count. She’s not been sleeping very well and can’t get and stay comfortable. We’re counting the days… I WILL keep everyone informed!
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 Standing up on my Prayer Bones for her and for your honored self as well and yes please keep us informed!

Subdeacon Joe Posted May 5, 2023 Posted May 5, 2023 O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Who did patiently endure the scourging and wounding of Your most holy Body, that You might save the souls and bodies of Your people, look graciously, we beseech You, upon the suffering body of this Your servant and give her strength to endure patiently whatsoever You shall see fit to lay upon her. Bless the means employed for the working out of her cure, granting that she may so endure her sufferings in the flesh that the wounding of her body may be to avail for the correcting and salvation of her soul, for Yours it is to show mercy and to save, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up Glory, as to Your Eternal Father and Your All‑Holy, Good and Life‑creating Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Blackwater 53393 Posted May 9, 2023 Author Posted May 9, 2023 Only two more days ‘til she goes for her surgery! I sense a little apprehension along with a lot of anticipation! Friday night, we went to see my youngest grandson perform in a play at the high school. We would have gone to all three performances, but she was miserable the rest of the night and all of the next day! It’s things like that and the fact that we’re used to traveling long distances and we can’t if she’s hurting all the time! Thanks, everyone, for your kind words and good wishes and prayers! As for me, I’m usually the one getting the work done! I’ve never really worried about stuff like this when it’s me getting needed repairs. I figure it’s not gonna be any worse and I’m fairly durable so long as we get the work done. I ain’t used to sitting and waiting. If I ain’t down, I’m the one fixing whatever’s broken.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 Know exactly what you are feeling. I don't 'wait-well' either.

I started PT for my back. Doc is hoping this will help vs surgery. I think I will end up in surgery at some point. Prayers up for Shotgun Schoolmarm. I hope all goes very well.
