Hi Everyone—
Well, I went to see the pain specialist and he was awesome! He was the first doc that actually was able to give me pain meds orally that took away the pain!! I am not out of the woods with this toe, though. He would like to do a pain block (possibly the first of three) on me on Wednesday, but before he does it he wants me to have the toe evaluated by yet another surgery, to make sure the toe is salvageable. Even though it has already been evaluated by my regular doc, my oncologist, a rheumatologist and a vascular surgeon, he’s still not sure I won’t need an amputation of the toe. So your prayers are really needed here. Of course I don’t want to lose my toe! If all goes well with the evaluation on Tuesday, then we will proceed with the pain block on Wed. Thanks so very much for your support in thoughts and prayers! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, everyone! We all have a lot to be thankful for!

hey mrs. k! Its real great to hear that can finally atleast relax a little bit from the pain. I know the emotional and mental part is still there, and for that, that will be in my prayers, and it sounds like you are still holding strong. You'll always be in my prayers, and I hope to see you soon!...kyle
