Hi everyone,

Just checkin in. I have been having a rough time lately. I am trying to get off some of my meds (morphine to be exact), and its kicking my ***. I am having some severe withdrawal from it. I got down to 2 a day instead of 9, and it got to be too much and finally talked to my doc. He put me back up to 3 a day for now. Then we will make the steps down another way. Needless to say, I am not very socialable right now! I'm doing good to keep it together for my family.

Sadly, speaking about family... my sis just had a biopsy to check on her progress after her bone marrow transplant. It wasn't good. The luekemia is still there and growing rapidly. We thought when she got her marrow, (which was a miracle! a COMPLETE match, non-family member!), that this would all be behind her. Shes still in a fight for her life... Resume praying for her and her family please? If you'd like to send her well wishes, shes on facebook here. Just let her know you are my friend.

Just remember, you guys are always on my mind! Miss you all!

Love,

Jen

Hey Rose! Miss you. Hope you are feeling better soon! I'll resume praying for her and you. Thanks for the update.

I'm really sorry to hear that about your sister. My prayers are with her. I send my prayers out to you in help of breaking from the drug. Good luck

I'll keep you and your sister in my prayers, Rose. It's awesome to see again, binago bat has been quite lonely lately and started stalking me instead

.. miss you too Jen .. you and your family are in our thoughts!

hey rose! i'm glad you are checking in!

i'm sorry to hear about your struggles.

:wub: :wub: :wub:

Aww, Rose, I'm so sorry about all your troubles. I'm glad you're working toward getting off the pain meds though. One of my oldest friends from High School was on very high doses of morphine for a tear in a groin muscle that they just took forever to diagnose, and I know the emotional toll that took on him while he was on it and how hard it was for him to kick.

As far as your sister, I feel horrible. I hope they can figure out some treatment that will work for her.

Sorry to hear about your sister, Rose. My prayers are with you, and her.

i'm glad that you posted about your troubles with opiates. It reminds me to stay strong with my dr about using them as a last resort.

<3

thanks for the update... continued prayers for your sister.

Take care of yourself, you hear?
