While in Romania I fell and broke my back - 3 fractures on a vertebrae. At present I have a corsette type cast for 6 weeks and as of yet, no pain medication, need to first go to the neurologist to see what I am allowed to take so that there are no drug interactions with my other meds. A lot of pain and nerve damage on my right side. Appreciate all your prayers.

Now I will have time to digitize (an be on Cute!!!) with all the time on mx hands, not being able to do much in this condition! :)

Thanks so much,

Christie in Germany

No need to appologize Shirlene. When we spoke I did not know either. The Dr's in Romania kept saying "everything is okay, nothing broken" Went to the emergncy on Tuesday and that's when I found out!

Oh - that makes me feel some better - thank you - I am so sorry that you had this happen to you - how are you doing now?
by christief 29 May 2011
Still in a lot of pain - uncomfortable with the corsette, since it seems to weigh so much (like carrying extra weight around!). Have the new meds, which make me very tired, but then I can take a nap, which is nice! Thanks so much for your concern and prayers.

Dear Christie,

I am so sorry to read this post - I do hope you can manage the pain and get some relief for it. Back pain is dreadful. I would rest it a lot - even sitting and digitising will cause pressure, so take it easy won't you? Love and blessings Chris

This would be so much fun to have a Cutie get together! I think we should try and plan something for the time that Carolyn is here. What part of Germany are you from?
by crafter2243 31 May 2011
Bettina is from Heidelberg if I remember right.
