My current request for prayer is very personal and falls under the Western Freak Out, grey zone. My condition is common enough but, varies widely depending on the particular individual in question.
First, I need to provide the context of my situation.
In 2002 almost to the day, I was at work when a muscle spasm caused my back to lock, I was in tremendous pain and could not stand up straight. I alerted my foreman and he said "you need to go to the ER" being understaffed on second shift, my wife had to come and take me to the old Blowing Rock Hospital ER, further away but quicker and benefited us better due to the fact my wife worked for the attending Physician. Prior to my accident I had been putting up pain in my right leg. Long story short; after X-Raze and an MRI, I was told I had degenerate disc disease in my lower backbackn(<this is what this tablet does randomly) along with osteophytes. So, I got the shots, epidural and PT. I had a consultation with a backologist who told me my chances of a favorable outcome was 50/50 and, although rare, occasionally it made things worse, as it did for my buddy Doc's brother in law. With this in mind I declined having myself surged. My Dr prescribed the NSAID, Celebrex. I told him that me and NSAIDs don't mix butbut(it done it agin!) he suggested that I take Prilosec with the Celebrex. I still got sick with severe abdominal pain that worsened with each dose. Then, after exhausting all other prospects, I was given prescription pain killers. At that time we had baby Graham and soon to premiere, sweetness & light, lil' miss I squall every time you turn your back, Megan. I had to work and to do that I needed relief from pain.
As time went on the same condition started in my neck. This brought on a level of pain far greater than the original and stronger pk's, it's a downward spiral and again I had to keep on working even though neck surgeration is usually effective. The trouble with painkillers is that you can't just take one when the pain is bad you must take them on a regular schedule, even if the pain is minimal, or you get sick.
Taking painkillers as prescribed as I do doesn't make the patient high, it eases pain enough so that you can go about your daily bidness. Bottom line, I'm a physician created junkie and I'm totally fed up with being dependent on anything other than Christ Alone, Sola Jesus. I have a job to finish by Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning, Cold Poultry! I've been here once or twice in the last 16 years when I've exceeded my dosage due to excessive pain.
Between hours 24 & 72 is pure hell, after that it slowly gets better.
I will do my best to keep you informed as to when I need fervent prayer.
I will be sick but, resolved to see this bondage busted.
What are ya waitin' fer!? Git praying. With your support God will get Glory.
Thank you in advance.
