Oh, we're having something like that for dinner! My brothers and sisters are having a big Mothers Day thing at my Moms. Low Country Boil. Shrimp, sausage, potatoes and corn. Red Velvet Cake for dessert. What to do, what to do!

I think starting the thread over everyweek is a great idea....

I hope this is only a fluke but, when I woke up this morning I had pain down my left leg again...pray for me that it goes away....I can't have another injection for at least 2 months and I can't go through that again...I am just scared to death...I have a call into one of my doctors. I had gotten to the point that I couldn't walk without falling and the sciatica was the worst pain I had ever had. I can't go through that again....I don't know what I would do.....I am desparatly trying to avoid surgery.....surgery and spines don't mix well. (and it might not work) I tried to pull some weeds yesterday and I am hoping I just stirred my nerves up and this is just temporary!! good vibes and prayer will be greatly appreciated.

I do send prayers and healing vibes your way, Whimsey. Don;t mean to butt in here but I was just wondering if you have ever visited a Chiropractor for your pain? I used to be dead set against them but was getting no help from anyone for my hip/leg pains after a car accident a few years previous. I was in pain sitting/laying/walking. Reg. docs found I had a couple squished discs and gave me injections which helped some but the pain and sciatica would come back at times. I was afraid to do anything (exercise, etc.) for fear it would bring the pain on. A year 1/2 ago I went to a recommended 'crack-a-back' doc and have been going regularly ever since! He fixed me right up. He can't fix the squished discs but he can take the preasure off of the nerves that cause the pain. Just a thought - I know some people feel strongly against Chiros, and yes, there are quacks just like there are dumb regular docs, but if it can help you to be pain free and avoid surgery then it would be worth checking out.
