Phone Call With the Doctor

Dr. Nolte has been a good and caring doctor for many years. I spoke with him on the phone this morning about the continuing pain from the back surgery I had in mid-August, and about my trip to the Emergency Room last Friday. When I told him the pain is not going away, he said I should delay any walking outside of the house until the back pain is really on the decrease. I pray that God will give me the patience to do as the doctor is suggesting.  Dr. Nolte has also perscribed me another pill to take along with some of my current medication. 

I will be talking to the doctor again on Monday, I will have some progress to report to him at that time. I long to be back outside with dear little Spencer. And to be able stop and chat with some of my neighbourhood friends on the street. Hilary is one of those friends and she has been very thoughtful in bringing by food and sometimes walking Spencer. She is bringing us fresh caught salmon to morrow.

Sandra has arranged for a nice lady name Carolyn to walk Spencer in the afternoons. 

I did a little wlking around the house and am feeling pain.  It will take a while for me to work it out.

It takes an effort to get back to writing.  I am going to try.

Rick was here today to get pills worked out. 

To-morrow Laura wiil be here and also rick and one of the girls.

Happy that you have such a good doctor. Be sure to rest a little longer grandma although it must be difficult. Hope you have some good books read and programs to watch. Alba was sick again this week but is at her preschool today. She loves playing with her schoolmates. Call you later
Love Kimberly

Having constant pain is very tiring for you Beth. I am sorry your back surgery wasn’t successful. I hope resting and time will give you less pain and you can return to the things you enjoy. Sending love, Nancy

I am sorry you are in such pain. I hope it will subside and heal and you can get back to walking soon. I am sure Spencer misses you taking him, but it is great for him to have a walker. I am sure he is super happy. Sending lots of love and good energy. Chat soon!!
