  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thanks everyone for the prayers. I worked today, I probably shouldn’t but I will need my EID and PTO if I have surgery. I was able to stay in the office today and make schedules and do reports. I pray that I’m better tomorrow. I have to work. and have to be able to get around.
I’m icing the leg now.
I need to get through a 12 hour shift tomorrow and a 6 hour shift Wednesday I'm praying that there's not as much pain tomorrow and I can get around okay at work.
Thanks to everyone for the prayers

I had RFA for the right side yesterday and I will go back to Urgent Care tomorrow if I am not better so maybe I can get a shot and make it through another 3 and 1/2 days at work.
I see the surgeon on the 17th and praying that the RFA starts working.
I have started using a walker at home and I'm still using a cane when I'm not at work but I can't do that at work.
Thanks for the prayers.

RFA didn't help this time. I went to Urgent Care Monday and went to work late. I got a steroid shot and a Ketoralac shot.
I went back to Urgent Care Friday and they gave me two more shots. (You're only supposed to get steroid shots every 3 months)
Also got Methyl Prednisone for 6 days.
I did inversion this morning and I'm using a TENS system on my leg.
I see the surgeon Tuesday but if he recommends surgery it will take a while to get it scheduled.
I guess I will keep going to Urgent Care, they don't check my chart to see when I was there last.
I have to be able to work

No, I wasn't injured. I'm going to take FMLA when I have surgery.
I go to Urgent Care and get enough help to make it through my 3 and 1/2 days of work for the week

Prayer warriors, I need your help.
I hate to miss work and I was working while I was in pain and should have stayed home.
They said I have to get a doctor to clear me to come back to work, I'm on FMLA, I did get the surgery moved up, I told them I needed to do it while I still had insurance. So surgery is October 11th.
There is two months recovery after surgery then I doubt they are going to let me come back to work.
I will have to find something else.
I was in a situation like this in 2008, I lost everything but I survived.
I just pray that God gets me through this again.

Thanks for the prayers. I'm just trying to cover all the bases in case they don't let me come back to work.
I'm trying not to worry, get anxious or depressed. None of that will help or change anything.
I'm looking into other jobs and how to apply for disability if the surgery doesn't fix the problem.
I'm counting on God to get me through this. Thanks again for the prayers

There are people who have bigger problems than I do and I just prayed for them, my friends who have cancer, the people who are in NC and Georgia who got flooded by the hurricane, the people in Israel and the innocent people in the war zones.
But I appreciate your prayers that I can sleep at night, that I don't get anxious or worried, that I get everything done and get my short term disability, that the surgery eliminates the pain and that I can keep my job

I'm so very sorry for you and others who have pain. My late husband suffered from degenerative disk(disc?) disease ever since I met him. He was in the military. He served 31 years. They tried to ease his pain but didn't know how to make him pain free. He finally developed cancer and passed away in 2012. I'll pray for you. May God help you!

The surgeon broke his leg. Surgery is postponed indefinitely.
So far I can't get short term disability until the surgeon fills out the paperwork and he won't do it until the day before the surgery.
I'm taking money out of my retirement to live on.
I appreciate prayers, it's hard to stay positive right now
