Well, I’m back home now with a much-needed cup of tea, two Tunnocks and Marcus Aurelius (who came along for the journey just in case I needed him).
The whole procedure (caudal epidural steroid injections) all overmy lower back) wasn’t as bad as past times and I had some sedation which helped sufficiently, and I made my feelings very clear when it didn’t. Only my lower back was treated but there will be investigation into my shoulder/neck/arm pain at a later date because I cant have injections in both sites simultaneously.
So now I am resting in my cave for a few days – Flossie has taken the helm. I have a headache and started the steroid flushes but those are both to be expected and I am not concerned.
Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement, sympathy, thoughts and prayers. I felt you were all very much in the room when I needed you most.

welcome home,
I know that it was a crowded room with all of us there cheering you on, but I personally think that being ‘armed’ with Marcus Aurelius, you could not fail to win the battle with your back. Good going! Now lots of TLC & chocolate! ;-}
wishing you well! Marcus Aurelius always helps. as I bet do Monster, Lambie etcal
I am so thankful you received some sedation. Here’s hoping the procedure was a success and you’ll be pain free real soon.
Sending love and healing energy May your rest be health-giving.
So glad it went well and they responded to your need for sedation. Tell Flossie she gets a star in her crown. Hope in house critters are good nurses and don’t cause any distress.
Please don’t be in a hurry to get “back in the saddle” take it easy.
warmest wishes,
Oh so glad to hear that you are back home and resting now. And so glad it wasn’t as bad as previous times for you. Will continue to send prayers up for you, Frances. May your pain become less and less. God bless you.
So glad you are back home safely and that you have Flossie to take care of things outside.
I do hope that the injections will sort out the pain for you and that Nurse Pepper and Medical-Cat Monster will look after you
Recuperate gently, I am sure Monster and Miss Pepper will ensure your brain is never bored whilst your body heals, x
Glad you are home and that they will look into your whole back issues. Sassy (and fat) Sister Cats send purrs and wish they could nap on your legs. Medicinal chocolates are a must for full recovery.
❤️
I am happy you are home and that the procedure was not as awful s expected. hope you are soon up and about seeing the animals and nature yourself. sending healing thoughts.
