A need for healing...

I have been supplementing my pain with various Jedi healing trances that I have learned throughout the years, but it is not enough on my own...


On Dec. 10 I slipped and fell in a restaurant, and basically broke my back, neck, fractured my right arm in 4 places (two in my elbow, two in my wrist), seperated one nerve, and pinched another in my elbow, and segregated(step below dislocation) both my elbow and my shoulder in the fall, among many other osteomuscular injuries...

I have been going through physical therapy and have called upon the Lord and the Force to help...but it seems not enough..my pain is too great, just yesterday my rib dislocated itself in the middle of the night and i had to relocate it myself

So please keep me in your thoughts at least, my brethren

thank you

Hey Lenje, that`s quite an experience. Your need for help is more than understandable. Hey Brother, I`m lost for words. You can count on my prayers, thoughts and meditation. May the Force heal you. Please keep us informed.

this is very unfortunate to say the lease. you are in my prayers. if it was a lesser man i dont believe they could have hacked it this far, you're pain may have saved someone else from this expierance or more. MTFBWY, i pray that it will heal you with its energy and our power of thoughts. please do keep us informed.

I am very familar with pain, but that would definitely take the cake.
I am sorry about your injuries and you will be in my thoughts and meditation. MTFBWY.

Thank you all...and as an update, on my way out the door to the ACTs this morning after posting this...i slipped and fell on black ice
dislocated my thumb, hit my knee, and aggravated the rest of my injuries...

ugh..i feel like wampa spit

I will keep you in mind. I work with therapy patients everyday, and see the same struggles you describe. Keep the faith! Your faith can get you through these tough times, and make you better than before.

I go into healing trances in the most intense pain to get me through it, the Force flows freely throughout my body during these times...and thank you for the help and pointing that out, Kieran...

thank you everyone for thinking of me in your thoughts and meditations
MTFBWY

I too will keep you in my thoughts, prayers, and meditations.

You're going through the trials. I am sorry for the loss of your friend today. Sometimes The Force puts us in a Nexus without asking and what you are going through will either destroy you or make you a Great Jedi with Infinite Compassion.

Remember that Faith is not belief without proof but trust without reservation. Everything you were, everything you are and everything you'll become is already with you.

We are all with you.

Here's a little night music.

MTFBWY and God Bless,

The Who: Behind Blue Eyes

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Right Click and Save ....

Whatever happened to Dishwalla anyway?

Thank you...I am having a hard time and idk just..ugh..

Pain is merely weakness leaving the body. I know you are strong enough to get through this...if you aren't..lol i'll beat that mantra into you till u trick urself into thinking you are!

Lenje are you getting any medication to help with the pain? If you are reluctant to take Vicodin or the hard core like due to the problems with addiction that's understandable. If you are then a good doctor will know that when it's time to quit you don't just stop and get sick as Hell.

You have to ween off it over 10 days or so but don't be surprised when doctors know lots about certain things but are ignorant of others.

I suffer from chronic pain with a torn rotator cuff in my shoulder. I cannot get the surgery as I'd be incapacitated for months and taking care of Mother in a wheelchair and with my GrandMother needing to use a wheelchair when we go out I just have to live with the condition.

Tramadol works very well and is difficult (not impossible) to get addicted to. There is also Ultram ER which is an extended release version of the medication. It's low on the DEA Schedule list as being 'unlikely' on the abuse scale.

I mention this because many doctors don't think of it but when asked say, \"That's a good idea\". You can take Tramadol with Tylenol to enhance it's effect with little to no addictive properties.

If this does not help you it might help somebody so I thought I'd get it down on the record.

I am not saying forget about meditation and mental discipline. I know dentists that can hypnotize patients and drill teeth with no shots! But I am saying that being noble can become obsessive and suffering when there are reasonable and safe options available is not wise or noble.

I don't pretend to know the details of your treatment and I'm not an MD. I did want to share this information should someone search the site for \"chronic pain\".

All the best,

p.s. If I were you I'd take Perris up on that offer to beat in into you.

Actually, Br.John....my knowledge on opiates is very vast...you may send me a PM about that one, its not something im proud of...

I had about 5 cortisone shots into my back (3 or 4 in my lunbar and 2 in my cervical) they seem to be helping quite a bit

not to say i dont have pain, but its helped greatly...hopefully it will keep helping...and yes..I have always been a big supporter of \"mind over matter\" but when my mind is distracted by so much crap its kind of hard to get over matter, if you know what I mean?

and no thank you, I dont like the smell mantra leaves XP
