========================================
That sounds good...maybe you'll
be a little more comfortable now.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

thanks adelle, me too.  this has been the most painful thing i ever
experienced.   a lady friend on the diabetes newsgroup had the same injury
over a year and a half ago.   she has been a real rock, incredibly
supportive through this.  she has a summer home near me and we have spoken
regularly on the phone.   she says she still has some pain even now, so i
may not count on healing pain free even later on.   just taking it one day
at a time.  hoping for the best can't hurt anyway.

Pardon me for not knowing, but where were these metal rods and why did
you have them removed?

Feather, with two seven inch long stainless steel rods in her spine for
the last almost five years. . .

hi feather,

(i am still typing one handed).   i fell and broke my right shoulder in
november.   the day before thanksgiving i had 4 metal rods and two screws
put into my arm to hold the bones together.   they just removed the rods
last week in a second surgery, but the screws are still inside.   i have a
long road ahead of me with physical therapy to regain the use of my arm and
shoulder again. :-(

May that road to complete recovery be shorter and easier than it
appears...

Aw, sheesh! I *do* remember reading about your having broken your shoulder.

Sometimes I wish they'd remove the rods from my spine, but then again. .
.they're all that's holding it together anymore. . .disks are gone, the
titanium cages at one level didn't "take," and the screws with the rods
are my only support - except, of course, the strengthened muscles. . .

Do go forward with the physical therapy. Once you get over that hump of
pain initially, you'll begin to feel better in no time.

Many gentle hugs and blessings,

Feather
