Fingers crossed my cortisone inj works!

Well, with our Yosemite trip looming in one week, I bucked up and had the cortisone epidural today. It went well - painful but fast and now I'm home taking in some dog snuggle therapy

Fingers crossed that it helps and I can enjoy my vacay...trying to remain positive here - send me some healing vibes!

Mega Healing Vibes comin' at you!

Heidi! I hope & pray you will get relief with this shot! I hope it's almost instant too! When I had my first shot I felt the full effect of the shot on the 3rd day, it was like a miracle had happened and I was healed! I hope the same happens for you. And I hope you have long-lasting relief too. Some people only need one shot and I hope that is the case for you. So...I'm sending healing vibes and good thoughts to you right now! Have a great trip to Yosemite!!

Thanks for your collective thoughts and good wishes. I'm really hoping that it will kick in within the next couple of days.

Somehow,we'll make it work. I can handle some weakness on that leg, just not the radiating sciatic pain that makes it unbearable. I'll be sure to hike with TWO hiking poles, and not just one. I don't want to become a casualty over a Yosemite precipice We're just planning on tailoring our trip to what I can do. Maybe it will be more enjoyable cuz usually I have a tight itinerary and try to cram way too much in...so, maybe I can sit back (or lay back,lol) and just soak up all that beautiful scenery and just be happy

I'll keep you posted prior to our trip, but we've all decided as a family (well, the kids are a tad reluctant...) to really "unplug" for this trip. No texting, no cell phone calls, no computer, no facebook. Honestly, I think it will be as hard on me as anyone else!! But, good to get back to the basics of just being a family and reconnecting. That's the plan, anyway....my facebook withdrawal pain may rival my sciatic pain, haha!

Thanks,
Heidi
