1/12/2013 3 radiation treatments down 12 to go as far as I have been told. Still in a lot of pain but it does seem to be letting up a tiny bit. Still can't lift my left foot more than a few inches off the floor and that is the cause of the trips and falls. The guy who does my treatments says he's seen people be out of pain in 3 days or 2 weeks so every one is different. Still getting burning back spasms so just have to wait and see. I am still on the Fentanyl 150 mcg patches and also oxycodone, that is helping a little but still not enough but I am staying strong and spending too much time in bed. My Mom is going shopping for me this week for a new mattress topper and a nice set of sheets with deep pockets and I'll pay her for them after she helps me make the bed up and then I will put my new quilt from the Cuties on it and try to get a full length pic for you and of course ask someone to post it since my Kodak program won't work with cute or anything as of today, so frustrating!! Hugs to you all for praying and caring! Heading to the living room to try and take down some Christmas decor, hubby doesn't help much and he is off running errands right now. I won't get on any ladders or step stools so fear not of me falling again, LOL!!! Debra
