Vicki and others,
I thought it was getting better but the steroids
didn't help much and I only had a few days of pain killers. I tried
going all this week, and part of the weekend, without using anything for
pain. Well, overall, I was out of it so I just couldn't stand the pain
any longer. Besides, I really wanted a lower back MRI to see if
something was wrong and that's the only real way. So tomorrow that will
be done and I have enough pain meds to keep the edge off. I can't sit or
walk or stand without there being pain now, however, so it isn't very
comfortable. In short, the hip pain is continuous and the rest of my leg
aches all the time.
Phil.

Phil,
I'm sorry to hear that things are
worsening. I must have missed the previous e-mail. I thought you
were getting better. So will sure be praying. Keep us posted or
have Sandy touch base.

Therefore, for Your name’s
sake,
Lead me and guide
me.

Things have worsened. I went to my
family doctor today because the pain was so severe, I could hardly
walk. I was one thought away from using my walker it hurt so
bad. I go for a lower back MRI tomorrow, Friday, and from there we
shall see. Physical therapy, for one thing, but also going to a pain
doctor to get shots in my lower back to block the pain,. Well,
something like that. So thanks for your prayers.
Phil.
