Thread: Paging Harold McGhee

He has been on fb. Says he still has a lot of pain yet. Hopefully he will check in and post himself with curreng status.

Been wondering about him myself. No FB for me so I don't hear some things at all.

Still in the 24/7 pain catagory - taking 2 - 4 325ml hydrocodon every 6 - 8 hrs - when they kick in - can walk good with
no pain -
Present family doctor that took over for my doctor of 23 yrs (origin doctor died), says he really dosen't have enough
information to make a positive decision - i paid to have 23 yrs of transcripts sent to him -
He has me going to a rehab center for 6 weeks to relieve the pain - now that 2 operations are done
and pain is what was giving me problem first place 1 yr ago has returned. ( background to this was - i was
going to have Spinal operation on my back to relieve pain - but i couldn't have it done until i got a cardiac clearance)
NO problem - that led to my having triple bypass - which lead to me having femoral operation on legs due to no
circulation.
Now i'm back to square one - So now we have to go through 6 wks of rehab. before they tell me that it can't be
helped - that i need to see a spine doctor.
Isn't life wonderful -
Can't fish - no doctor's clearance yet - but I am going to try this Sunday - going to cabin Saturday, Ken Hamilton
comming over Sunday - we'll put boat in water and go from there - test my stamina in boat for spider riggin, as we
are scheduled to have FCC tournament out of Hatchineha next Saturday - and i am coordinator of show.
I believe it is the sciatic nerve comming from hips shooting pain down both legs same time, all the time, doesn't matter
if standing, walking, sitting - relief comes after i lay down for about 10 min, laying flat - if i move it hurts this goes on
all the time..
Pain management people can't do anything as it is to close to latest operation - need a least 60 days after.
Yippee - can't wait till May time frame.

Sorry for bending you guys ears with my whinning................but life is good - every day above ground is great - had
it not been for first operation i might not be here now - if it wren't for second operation i might be in wheelchair rest of
my life with no legs. God has spared me for a reason - i hope he lets me know soon what it is though.

Hey guys/ladies thanks for asking.................

Thanks Harold for letting us know. It must be frustrating for you, I can only imagine what you are going through. Hope your pain ends soon.

Frustration - being cooped up - get up - eat - take pills - set up for while- back to bed - couple hrs - up again
for couple hrs - eat - back to bed sleep - take pills - this is my day unless i have doctor's appointments, yippee
Going to Cabin this week = got to get into a new routine - one like used to have. FISHING - spending time in
the boat
Thanks for your thoughts Ronnie

Hang tough Harold. Really missed you at Crescent. I'm praying for your healing. Thanks for the health report. Keep us posted. Be blessed!
