I like when he says cerial because he overpronounces the r and says serel. Its even funnier when hes mad and says no or dont because hes so soft spoken and its impossible to take him seriously when hes mad. Liam is too funny!

He thinks he's saying the word he's hearing (although he might not be saying it right), suddenly they just say it and then they never shut up. Aaron,
Your reinforcing the words for baby is a good thing. He thinks he’s saying the word he’s hearing (although he might not be saying it right), suddenly they just say it and then they never shut up.

I have never felt so much pain in my intire life when the doctor started to push the fluid in my back i have a very strong pain tolerance i cannot believe there isnt a simpler way im scheduled for another shot this monday and the monday after i have noticed some pain relief but im not sure i want to go back is it true that if the doctor pushes nice and slow it doesnt hurt he said he numbed it and everything. i just feel like something wasnt done right to many people say its a piece of cake and they had to hold me down because i almost jerked out needle. any comments would be appreciated Im a 44 yr old male who recently was diagnosed with athritic back pain after months of pain killers vicadin and such i was scheduled for my first shot.

I had 3 cortisone shots in Jan 2001 and Ihave been fine until August of last year. I left my job which is very physical in Nov. 2003 and tried everything. I have and HNP at L4/L5 region and as of last year my pain has gotten worse. Pain in lower back radiating to my left butt cheek and down the left leg into my foot. I did physical therapy, accupuncture, chiropractor, and prescription drugs. I finally went back and had three shots and am still having trouble. I am now considering surgery and trying to research it to get the one that is best for me. Good luck to all of you with your backs and it's such a shame there are so many of us suffering from this horrible pain. If I have any success with surgery, I'll be sure to let you know.

]]> Comment on Cloth vs Disposable by Jody http://www.aaronjen.org/dad/2002/10/cloth-vs-disposable/comment-page-1/#comment-26 Jody Mon, 17 May 2004 23:20:37 +0000 http://www.aaronjen.org/dad/?p=20#comment-26 I am a sahm/wahm mommy of 3, soon to be 4. I used disposables with my first two, and clothies with my son. I am so mad that I spent so much money on disposables with my first two! Cloth diapering is EASY, once you find a good diaper that fits your style. I like to use chinese prefolds inside of ProRaps classic covers. They work great, no leaks, no rashes, and not too bulky if you use the right size for your baby. I also used Fuzzibunz brand pocket diapers. They were okay, but needed too much special care. Anyways. I am going to use a diaper service with this little one (on her way) because now I run a daycare from my home and won't have as much time for laundry. (I don't use a wet pail, either, it's a drowning risk.) Diaper services are STILL cheaper than using disposables! Anyways. I just wanted to share my experience, I think that more mom's should give it a try! I am a sahm/wahm mommy of 3, soon to be 4. I used disposables with my first two, and clothies with my son.

Now on my first shot he had me lay on my side, because it hurts so bad to lie on my stomach and he put the shot in at the base of my back where I am having trouble. He did not do this flouroscopicly (sp)he went in blind as I guess many of you have had. I had to miss the next days work because of the pain, but as the week went on it felt somewhat better I was not taking as many pain pills a day. This last time I went because the pain had been so bad from the last shot he had me sit up and double over and he put the shot in just a little over mid-way of my spine. I don't know what he hit but when he did it pulled my head straight back and I let out a piercing scream that woke everyone up in that hospital and I passed out. When I came to I was nauseated and each time I tried to sit up I kept seeing black dots like I was fixing to pass out. I could not hardly move my legs after getting to my feet and the side that had never hurt which was my right side has been killing me ever since. I have been in so much pain I have had to miss work. Today I called my physician and told her about all of this and she has made me take a full week off of rest, from work to see if this will help it and where we might need to go from there. She thinks when he went in blind as she said that he got the nerves and injured them on the right side she explained it all to me. She told me from now on not to let anyone touch my back that is not looking in my back to see what they are doing. She said it is possible I could be like this from now on but she was hoping that we could do something about it. Anyone thinking about these shots I believe should think about doing it floroscoply I think that is how you spell it. They will sedate you or not and they go in and know what they are doing and what they are touching and where they are injecting this medicine. I was in bad enough shape and bad enough pain before, now it has quadrupled. Hope yours works for ya'll Lynette I had my first shot steroid shot one month ago this wednesday my second one the wednesday before Easter.
