The wonderful wizard of
“ Caudal Epidural Steroid Day Surgery”
Finally the day arrived, after postponements, and months of waiting and waiting, we went to the CT and Radiology department, as it was written on the papers. to be told Hugh’s name was not there. Panic, although I tried to be calm.Finally, when I said I had a phone call to say the theatre list had been printed, and he was to be there at 11.30 a.m., Nil by Mouth from 6 a.m. the lovely lady did some phone calls, and directed us to the Day Surgery Department.
Paper work, lots, Linda, you were a dream come true, calm, helpful, and so understanding. Into the next room, 8 beds, another huge room with massive easy chairs, and another room, for the youngest people.
Off to theatre just before 2 p.m., and allowed to come home at exactly 3 p.m. Thanks, Mel.
The lovely Doctor explained everything beforehand, and hoped all would go well. It did. Thanks, Dr B .,and your theatre staff.
Maybe this will be the hoped for miracle. Life continues. Sleep will be so welcome tonight, after some nights of waking so early, today, up at 4.45, breakfast all done by 5.30 a.m. I am bushed, from top to toe.
Hugh has a smile tonight, and hopes for pain-free days.

Jean, make sure you get plenty of rest. Hugh has a lovely smile, I am so glad you had nice people to help you.
Yay and Hooray! Blessings on you both and sweet dreams!
Jean, I sure hope those epidurals give him relief. I had 3 in my c spine and that helped eliminate a tremendous amount of pain so I wouldn't have to have any invasion surgeries. Get some rest. Carol
truly hoping it helps!!!
All the best from me, caregiver, to you, caregiver!
Some days I don't know how we do it.
I'm suffering from a touch of flu. Hubby's stomach issues are a problem. He wants to go into town for supper, not wanting me to cook. And eating alone, bringing me something home. Life is so funny!
All the best. I hope this does it for you. What stress that must have been. Starving, and not on the list.
I'd want you on my side, too!
I'm so glad to read your good news! We're sending good vibes from our corner of the world for all of you, take care, and know you're all being thought of!!
Keeping my fingers crossed. Hope both of you can get restful, pain free sleep! Great photos of Hugh.

I hope with all my heart that this is the miracle that ends the pain. I love Hugh's smile, and I love your quote!
