Robbimom's Journal

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 up to the right dose. I need to cut today's dose in half in order to not totally run out (better hids the guns and knives, lol, I wouldn't do that)

I got up at 9am and was back in bed by 9:30. Stayed there til noon. It's 4:30 and after writing this I am going back there. Those of you who know me I rarely stay in bed. I usually lay on the couch so I am in the room with my kids. They worry less that way. This is the worst day, physically,that I have had in over a year and a 1/2.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I am so glad that I decided to pretend it is a regular day. The way I feel, I couldn't cook if my life depended on it. I guess it's true. . . everything happens for a reason.

I'm cutting this off here because I just hurt too bad to continue.  HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all who read this.
