I'm still around/somewhat

I don't know if I mentioned it but I had shoulder surgery back in feb of this year and then on Good Friday I was coming back to Philadelphia from Trenton, NJ and was rear-ended and thankfully I drive a big SUV and now tomorrow I have to go in for surgery again for my shoulder.  And to top it all off I had an MRI done last night and they found a c3 and c5 disc damage in my neck and buldging disc so I have not been up to doing much these days and am trying to keep up my spirits so I just thought  I would touch base with everyone. I guess I will find out in the morning what needs to be done for my neck .  Its a shame because after three weeks of my original surgery in feb I was back riding the horse and after the accident I can't even think about it for now. Yep I am feeling sorry for myself and trying not to. Always something so I know everyone out there can give me the much needed support. Thanks for letting me get this out.

Wow, Linda, so sorry to hear you are out of commission.   Figured you'd just rode off in the sunset on that favorite horse of yours    Let us know asap how it goes tomorrow with the neck and shoulder.  We're all pulling for you, you know.    Your horse has been an inspiration in the past, let it be so again.  Rest, get well and get back to it.   Sending positive vibes your way.....

I am sorry. What alot to deal with,. It will get better and things will change. You will be horseback again you just need to take care of you first, We are always here.

Linda,

I am sooooo sorry to hear that you've had a spell of not great stuff going on and just having come out of my own down cycle in life, all I can say is that it usually gets better, February/March and through the early part of this month were rough for me, but I got through it with some support from my friends and my belief that it would pass, though there were times when it just felt as though is was not passing quickly enough!  I will keep you in my prayers and positive thoughts for this turn of events to pass so that you can get back to the enjoyment part of living!

Hugs, prayers & positive thoughts, Laureen

Hi Linda - sounds like you've had a rough time of it lately - been thinking about you and hoping things are okay. I hope they can help you with the surgery and pain - will be sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way. Take care and keep us posted.

Kathy

Well, that just sucks!!!  I hope you feel better soon and that you can get back to your activities.  It is hard to stay positive during times like these...but you will get through this!

Let us know how you make out!

Hey Linda, Hang in the I know it seems really bad right now, but things always have a way of getting better. Please let us know how things go for you and what your results are. My DH went through some really bad "neck" stuff about nine years ago. He is almost back to normal now. He had a disc that herniated and it ended up bruising his spinal cord. But like I said he is doing much better now. We will be praying for you Belinda

I am so sorry you are going through all that is going on.  I can sort of empathize, though my damage is not as extreme.  I have been experiencing sucky body aches, and then chronic sinus infections.  Had sinus surgery in February.  Broke my foot in March, just before Easter, and have been limping around on crutches ever since. 

I was going through my own personal self-pity trip recently, because I am not able to keep up with the life I have, like appointments and other assorted junk.  I have needed rides for a lot of things, and work especially.  Plus, I use a wheel chair at work.

If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, feel free to PM me, and I will gladly send you my number.  I have a co-worker who always says, "Love doubles the joy and divides the pain."

Hugs,
Trish

I went through with the shoulder surgery and for the first time ever I woke up and went into tears and it was horrible so they ended up sedating me and George said I kept "nodding out when we stopped for breakfast but I am feeling so much better now.  Hopefully this will be a speedy recovery as summer is here and I want desperately to get back on Cassidy. I know it probably sounds crazy but that horse is my heart and he is awesome to ride he relaxes me and makes me feel all is right with the world. But thanks for all of your support from the bottom of my heart. I really appreciate it.

Hey Linda, I hope things get better for you really soon.  I know how much you want to get back on that horse of yours.  Hang in there!
