Sitting in the hospital writing this, Lauren is having a procedure in the morning. She lost the ability to walk in December and has been in a wheelchair since. No problem, we bought a ranch, I transport her and we bought a car with a hatchback to make taking the wheelchair easy.

She keeps getting infections and has been hospitalized several times this year. Battled through each time, one being 12 days in the ICU.

This past Monday her leg pain was a 10. Took her to the hospital, for excruciating pain and after a few rough days the pain management program is giving relief. Unfortunately, it is opioid relief so she is zonked.

Procedure in the morning on her back to help the leg pain. They are optimistic about it and said they should be able to cut the meds and get her home this week.

She is resilient and tough, so your thoughts and prayers are appreciated! God Bless and thank you.

Thoughts & prayers are with you both Max.

Positive thoughts and prayers for Lauren.  She is a warrior and will persevere with the love and support from her family and community.  When I hear about Lauren's tribulations, I see how strong and brave she is and I am embarrassed at the little things I complain about.

Lauren, yourself, and your entire family, have shown incredible strength, resilience, and positivity throughout this long ordeal.  I have no doubt there will be more of the same.  Best wishes for an uneventful procedure and a speedy recovery.

Thinking of you and your family today, Phil.  Hopefully between Lauren's strength and the love and support of you and the rest of the family, she will be able to continue to beat this.

Sorry, Maxman!  I hadn't seen this earlier.  I'm so sorry to learn about your wife's health issues.  Will she be in the wheelchair permanently?  If so, I'm sorry to hear that, but as you know one can still have a good life.  My father was in a wheelchair the last 1-2 years of his life.  Prayers lifted for both of you!!!

Sorry to learn about your father!  I was a caretaker for my father.  It's definitely a roller coaster ride and tough, especially if/when they have dementia!  Hang in there. Prayers lifted for you and your family.
