Bad Pain Mood
Monday, February 16, 2009 | A General Update story
Today my pain is up. I think I did to much yesterday on the computer. It really hurts just to type, moving my fingers on my left hand is painful to my back. I hate it when everything tightens up. Rick is home sick with the flu. I feel really bad for him. I wish I could do more than make sure he has something to drink and meds. I wish I could still make homemade soup. Sometimes I feel like I'm only have a wife. He is so good to me and understanding of everything. He deserves so much, maybe someday they will figure out something that would allow me to move more than ten minutes at a time or stand for two! I wouldn't even mind sitting for a length of time. Not being able to use my left hand and arm for any length of time sucks too. I'm getting pissy so I had better stop thinking about it. I'm glad that I can still ride with him in the truck at times. I'm glad I get hugs and messages now. It is so nice to be able to talk with others again. Not being able to get out except once a month I don't meet many people! Hope for a better day tomorrow, which means I need to stay down as much as possible today!
