I think I wrote on here about my sister having back surgery. She had a nerve that was pinched between two vertibrae. They tried therapy but it didn't work. She had the surgery and her hand and arm is no longer going numb, but she is still in lots of pain. Right now they don't know exactly what to do for the pain. She got a new electrical stimulation unit to try the other day.
At this time we aren't sure she'll ever be able to go back to work. I recommended she try some of the writing sites I'm a part of to make a little money. She is good at writing and has won poetry contests even, so I know she can do it.
I just hope she gets some relief soon.

I don't even want to think about anybody having to have back surgery. I'm sorry to hear about that. At least there's been some progress in terms of her having no more numbness. However, the continuing pain sounds like it could be a problem. I hope she gets some relief soon. She sounds like a taleneted writer also. She could no doubt make some money on some websites.

I am sorry to hear about your sister . Hopefully they will find out what is wrong with her soon so they can try to fix whatever the problem is . Has she tried Mylot , it will not give her a fortune but it will give her a little extra money and if she is really good at writing she might be able to find something online that will pay her even more money .
I will say a prayer for her and hope she gets better soon . The power of prayer can be strong and it certainly can't hurt .
Take Care

Thank you for the prayers.
She can't do anything on the computer right now because they don't have a phone line. They are going to be getting it soon, that's why I told her about the writing sites. Once she gets a connection I will send her links for everything.

I pray that your sister get better soon and that she will try some of the sites you referred her too. At least she will have something to do instead of sitting around being board. I am not a good writer so those site aren't for me. Have a blessed day you and your sister.
