Thanks for your input. I had started a stool softener soon after the patch. Yesterday that nerve pain disappeared!! I didn't describe it quite right. It was when I was urinating and just relaxed those muscles. But all is well with those nerves. We traveled back home yesterday. The pressure held in my head so we are on the right track!!
The doctor thinks that my last few leaks are coming from sudden jars or falls that tug and tear a small hole making it leak. the scar tissue from surgeries inside the cord and myelograms have formed a great amount of scar tissue. Will take it easy this week and use my 'picker upper' tool so I don't bend and strain that area. These are just to be extra cautious because of my track record. Hard to do so close to Christmas!
Should get about eight inches of snow tonight! Yeah, bring it on! Thanks for all your prayers! I'm loving the devotional book Jesus Today and Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Here's to hope and joy for all of you today!
I highly suggest milk of magnesgia. It helps a lot and it's the most natural out there. You don't want to strain. Keep laying and taking it easy. Prayer for the best for you.
