It has been a while. So hello to all.

On June 11. I started with my burning in my arms and chest. I have it 24 hours a day but that day it got really bad. I was just about screaming. I had been in the bed all day and when my husband got home he called 911. It was that bad!!

I spent the next 5 hours in the ER before they even gave me anything for the pain. I was so angry I paced that hospital and screamed at nurses. It all seems like a dream to me..

I was addmitted and spent the next 9 days in the hospital. It was the first time that I actually remember most. Usually they have me so dopped that I can ot remember anything

They did another MRI and it seems that I have some more activity.

For the most part they kept me on dilaudid to deal with the pain. they wanted to send me to a skilled nursing facility so that I could stay on the IV but i chose to come home. the next day I had an appoitment at a pain clinic and they talked about putting in a IV morphine cathader..Right now I am taking morphine and they said it would be less drugs and it would go right where you need it and not all over the body. I am considering it...

Still adjusting to the new meds and sleeping alot but for the firs time in 4 years I feel a little like my old self.. So this is what it feels like to not be in pain 24-7.. I told my husband that I find myself trying not to laugh.. I want to laugh at stupid stuff and I am not use to that...
