Just wondering how the epidural went. Hopefully it was fast acting, and did the trick.

    Probably a little soon to know for sure, but it seems a bit better today. Nights have been the worst, so we’ll see. Currently with my three year old granddaughter so there’s joy in the moment…thanks for asking!

    Hi M1,

    I sure hope the shots work for you. If you don't get relief, try a low dose of THC/CBD. I have to take it at night so that I can sleep and it works well.

    I'm glad that it is at least hopeful for full effect. Keeping fingers crossed for you. Maybe in the next day or so you'll have better news to report.

    M1, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling at least a bit of relief. I too am hopeful that you will see more in the next few days. Much joy to be found in a 3 year old granddaughter! Well deserved joy.

    Any resolution on the barking?

    M1; a three year old granddaughter- nothing better! How I love the three year old age and miss so much having a little one to play with and read stories to and just to listen and talk to. They are a treasure beyond measure.

    Hoping that as the post epidural days move forward, that relief begins to make itself evident for you. Big hug and big hopes . . .

    Thanks jo. Shes missing her big sister who started second grade yesterday, so glad to have a grandparent to herself this week. yes great fun. Busy week until she's back in preschool next week. Fortunately my partner seems less cognizant of time and thus tolerates my absences, though she does continue to isolate too much. Hopefully some new routine-minus the still nagging cough and the back pain-will establish itself here shortly. Tough summer, tough year.

    Hope you start feeling results in your back soon. Granddaughters and grandchildren in general are such a blessing and just the joy on their faces can make a bad day a ray of sunshine!! And their little hugs and kisses are icing on the cake! Enjoy your time with that little angel!
