Fellow Writer Update

The problem with not being around is I miss important news from fellow writers, some of it good, some of it not.

For instance, I missed PastVoices ’s last entry about her neck, and an old injury causing her immense pain.

Here I am a week later, and just getting a clue.

I called to check on her after I read her entry.

We talked for about 30 minutes. Because of the nerve damage, she can’t write or even sit at her computer for any length of time, because her left arm goes numb. She asked me to relay a few thoughts to you.

Her doctor’s put her on Oxycotton (sp) for the pain, but it’s only enough to make it tolerable. Because of the constant pain, and still not receiving any support – emotional or otherwise – from family, she is undergoing depression medication adjustments.

Next week she’ll see a pain management physician to hopefully find a way to further alleviate the pain in her neck.

She also wants you to know she misses you all.

Nanette’s one joy, as usual, is Tara. Nanette sent me photographs of her dressed for Halloween as Holly Hobby:
