Kim, hope everyone is healing, if there is anything I can do to help please just let me know... Continued prayers for all.

Good to see you back Kim! We've all been thinking of you and your family.

...prayers are definitely needed...the sorrow is over, but the worse is just beginning....

...prayers are definitely needed...the sorrow is over, but the worse is just beginning....

Oh, dear, so sorry to hear that.

We will keep those prayers and good thoughts coming. And as Brandi said, let us know if there's anything we can do.

 

[kimmar067]

...I'm sure I don't have to tell you that a crisis can bring out the BEST in people. Unfortunately, it can also bring out the WORSE.

 

[John's Mom]

Kim,

Thinking of you and your family.

Maybe this will help.

 

[wendypooh]

Doh!!! I guess that I wasn't paying enough attention.

Making progress every day. That is the best I can say. It is not nearly fast enough for him, but all his therapists and I are seeing big steps. He has an appointment next Thursday with a ENT to evaluate the damage to his vocal cords. Hopefully that will be another positive step for him.

Glad to hear he's doing well!!! Big Hugs for you -

...I'm sure I don't have to tell you that a crisis can bring out the BEST in people. Unfortunately, it can also bring out the WORSE.

Hi Honey - Big HUGS - know we are all here for you!!! Hopefully things will calm down and work out without a lot of .................... ( &*#E&*#^$ )
you know!!!



** Also, hope all that had to deal with the storms are safe and sound, it's been crazy weather!!! AND - on a personal note, I had another appt. with my Ortho dr. yesterday, as I'm NOT getting better - he has decided that we're going to try a "new" treatment - to start with at least a couple of "cervical epidural steroid injections" - to see how that will help - and if it doesn't then we're looking at surgery. I hope to goodness it doesn't come to that. BUT, I'm just NOT feeling any better, in fact it's progressively getting worse - I've even begun to limp, still have lots of pain, headaches, loss of use in my right arm........... etc... etc.... I'm trying NOT to be a crybaby - but, felt I needed to go back - to get some relief as it's just beyond my control at this point. Anyway, I got 2 new meds. so feeling a little more comfort today.... not much, but a little bit. Hopefully, the shots will work!!

Have a great day everyone!!! I think we're off to have a mom/son lunch and maybe a movie....... (youngest DS is needing some time, since I've been in wedding mode for my other DS - he needs some attention!!! LOL )

My Friends....

I have tell you that I have cried and stopped and started again... These storms have destroyed two family homes and a car, my kids in Alabama are physically ok, but are trying to deal with the devastation and the tragedy.

My youngest girl, married with two kids, lost part of their house and was crying on the phone with me telling me that people in the neighborhood were gathering up the injured and the dead and she just broke down. So much to handle and shield for her children.

My Oldest girl and her daughter had damage to their house and car, they found a working gas station and it took them 3 hours to get gas.

They are trying to leave the area and get the kids someplace with power where they will be safe, we have more family up in Tennessee that is opening their home up to them.

My other Mom refuses to leave he home that is severely damaged because she does not want anyone to steal anything.

and to top it all off I can't find my brother. I have called all his numbers and I get circuits are busy or it goes to voice mail.

Power will not be restored for awhile, so I am praying that his cell phone battery is dead.

** Anyone heard from Brandi? Hoping all is well with her brother!

** Kim, how are you doing -

I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to all of you - it seems like the Jamborini's are hitting a rough patch right now........ I know I for one appreciate all of you and all of your support - just know that for ALL of us going through trying times, we are ALL here for each other, to support, listen, whatever one needs. Big hugs to all of my "jambo" friends!!!

I hope the injections work. I've had three lumbar epidurals in the past year. The first two worked great for a while. When the pain in my lower back gets bad enough, I'll have surgery. You have so many symptoms; I can't imagine what you are going through right now. But for meds!

Hey Kathy,

Thanks so much. I just feel awful, but, I hate complaining about it, I had hoped so much that it would kind of just go away, you know, like you hit your finger with a hammer, eventually, the pain goes away........... I mean I know it's MUCH different, but, it's just NOT getting any better - I can NEVER get comfortable, I'm in pain all the time, I don't sleep, etc... etc...., see, I really just hate even talking about it, but, I DO hope that the shots will work, he said there are some people who get them, then never have anymore problems, I'm hoping I'm in that category. I was feeling pretty good when I stopped phys. therapy, still some pain, but, manageable (or so I thought), but the last couple of months, it's just progressively gotten worse. My last phys. ther. appt. was in Jan. - so, it hasn't been that long, but, it seems like SO long ago............ I just really hope this works, as you know, the pain is just horrible. If you don't mind my asking, what is your injury from? Of course mine if from the accident back in Aug. of last year - I can hardly believe it's been 9 months ago. Anyway, Thanks - I appreciate the support!!

...prayers are definitely needed...the sorrow is over, but the worse is just beginning....

Kim, I am so very sorry. I know how very difficult this time is. Sending prayers and know we are thinking about you and your family.

We lost both my DH's mom and dad within the last few months. It was very difficult.....but the whole family part after that was far worse. People can be difficult to understand.

Kim,

Well, the suitcase is packed and the alarm clock will go off shortly. I just have to pack my carry on and then I am ready to head for the airport. Even though the flight is only about half full, I was not able to check in online and still do not have seats. I wonder what this is all about. I will see you all when I get back on May 9th.

[dgbg100106]

Thank you all. I have not talked to my brother yet but was told from a friend that he was out fishing with a friend of his and that cell phone service is really bad right now.

Will update more when i talk to my girls.
