Painful Stories

  • Oh well I guess I thought I would get a little artistic with the journal entry.  That face looks like me on a good day.  Well I am hurting like the devil because last night I didn't get a deep sleep.  I was woken up several times this morning by my Mothers phone in the kitchen.  I noticed the difference because the previous 2 nights I got that deep sleep and woke up with h...

  • Sharp pains today because of the weather and lung infection!!

    Sunday, September 28, 2008 | A Painful story

    Well the pain is in my upper arms and shoulders worse than the last couple of days.  Maybe it's the weather because it's raining here today or maybe it just feels like hurting more than it did yesterday.  I have to hang in there until Wed. when I pick up the Permobile or else I will lose that.  I am busy betting rid of the gunk in my lungs and am doing everything I am ...

  • Tangie is sick because I didn't get refills on her medicine.

    Sunday, October 12, 2008 | A Painful story

    I am upset right now because Tangie is going down hill because I didn't get her medicines for her and I just started noticing the difference in the last couple of days.  She is very lethargic and verbal which means she is in pain.  I have the cab company coming to pick up a check plus the other stuff they need to go to the store and pick up her stuff.  We have a pet smart here ...

  • A Very, Very bad day

    Wednesday, November 26, 2008 | A Painful story

    I got my epidural for my upper back yesterday, finally. It was only about 2 months late. I was so tense that the numbing shot was horrible.
    I was up all night between the muscle pain from the shot, my hips aching, the pain between my shoulder, the cyst on my ovary flaring up and the massive reduction in pain medicine (about 85% less). I see a pain management doctor a week from Tuesday to get back...

    Thursday, May 28, 2009 | A Painful story

    Well, the funeral & cremation was Tues. And my son drove the several hundred miles with he and his girlfriend each taking time from work. And they spent monday eve with Sheri-Lynne and her significant other. For sibling who hadn't talked in so many years this was a major answer to praying for 40 years that they would eventually be there for each other!!  I also feel it will prevent m...
