glad you be around ss!

why was it strange experience? because they ran out of pain medication?

ServusSpiritusSancti · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2011, 09:31:43 AM »

No, they had gotten reports from two other hospitals that the epidural (spelling?) had caused paralysis in two cases. However, there has always been the rare possibility of that happening. They were not set up to use any other form of pain medication and didn't know if they'd be able to properly manage my pain. Hospitals are supposed to have a back-up plan but they didn't have one. The doctor said he would "do some research" and until then the surgery would be delayed. He didn't even give me a date for when it would done, he just said "sometime this summer". It is very frustrating. But I know it's best I didn't have it done yesterday considering they have yet to figure out how to properly use anything besides an epidural for pain management. It was strange because I was just 10 or 15 minutes from having surgery and they waited until then to tell me. But I'll just have to wait a little longer.

epidural is correct.

do you have a lot of experience in hospitals, ss?

Not really, herbert. My only previous surgery was having my tonsils removed, and that was when I was a kid.

Well, here we go again.

My surgery was re-scheduled for tomorrow. I'll be in the hospital for about a week, and I'm sure I won't feel like doing much when I first get home so it could be a while before I return to CatholicInfo (as long as it's not cancelled again like last time). But I will try to resume posting again as soon as possible. I appreciate any and all prayers. Thanks again to Matthew and Mater for letting me post here and running an awesome Traditional Catholic forum.

God Bless.

SS,

Don't go too far from this part of the pasture.

Did you ever hear about that little sheep who asked Jesus for a new cross? Well, Jesus brought him into a room filled with different sized crosses. The little sheep tried out many - small ones, feathery ones, large strong looking ones, etc. He didn't like any of them. Finally, he saw one that was perfect for him. It fit on his back just right. As he left he looked at it more carefully and saw that it was the same cross he was carrying before entering the room.

Hang in there with your trouble's.

Lots of prayers from
the smart sheep

My Our Lord be with you, SpiritusSanctus. I'm including your matter into my rosary.
