Hello dear!  So nice to see you!  We are grandparents of 2 year old identical twins now! We take care of them during the week a lot.  How are you?

My husband is still suffering from his sciatic nerve that happened Labor Day weekend, now his knee may have tendinitis, just found out today. He goes to PT twice a week - surgery may happen yet.  Other than that, we are fine. Wishing you the best!

@gloriajean@What are your DH symptoms from the sciatica.My DH is getting chiropractic treatment for similar.He has burning in his leg that seems to be worse when he is standing still.

Whatnow - Labor day weekend he had such severe pain that our daughter took him to ER, that doctor said it was sciatic nerve. He was on hard narcotics then. Had the MRI and X-Ray done at the clinic, two bulging discs, going twice a week to Physical Therapy, only meds for pain is Iboprofins, usually 4 every six hours the doctor says it's safe, he's trying to not have so much. His left leg is weaker, not burning, but painful, settling in his knee so he's now wearing a knee brace. PT lady told him to put heat on his sciatic nerve area, and ice the knee. So that's what he's doing plus some little exercises to strengthen.  Chiropractor wants him every two weeks. Wednesday he goes again there.  That is between his PT appointments. Yet, he hasn't missed any work, he sells appiances part time except for that Labor Day Saturday when he was in ER. Standing does hurt him, too. Hope your husband gets better too real soon.  It's the pits to be in so much pain every day!  We still go from Monday to Friday helping our other daughter that has EDS take care of the 2 year old identical twin girls. They are a joy!

@gloriajean@Wow your DH has a lot to deal with.I hope that he can find some type of resolution so he can at least be pain free.I hope my DH doesn’t have to experience that much pain before he can be helped.

I think you are fortunate to have those special grandchildren to keep you busy and take your mind of some of the other not so fun stuff.

I was going to post their picture here so I copied from Facebook, but  here it won't paste.  They are beautiful 2 year olds now. Halloween they will be wearing bumblebee dresses and wings - so cute!
