Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...
My goal as I posted on yesterdays thread is to make doc appointments today so that I do not give up on them again.
That's it and it's a big one because it means driving 20 minutes to a place I've never been and I'm scared of driving. Once I'm on the road I'm ok, but getting started is the frightening part.
I'll check back in after I've accomplished these things to 'check them off'... i kind of assume the point of setting out goals in this manner is to come back and declare our success or failure, at least I will try

i'd love to take a shower and get out of my pj's today. anything else would be a miraculous bonus.
good luck with your goals everyone!
Reading all of your goals made me excited. If each day we supported each other to complete a goal together we could do amazing things. I just know that sometimes I need some extra encouragement to get started on projects because of my low energy. It is nice to have company and it makes me want to achieve my goal even more.

1st - I'm with JC, my Lady really needs a bath & I have been saying it for 2 weeks but she's around 60 pounds & I just really can no longer lift that much but she has a habit of sleeping with me & I cannot stand it another moment. I will not put this off another day.
The rest, provided I don't kill myself over getting her in the tub & washed is to do last night dishes & do the overall kitchen clean up since hubby cooked last night (not a pretty sight & usually involves ceiling to floor over haul). As always, laundry & I really need to sweep & mop the kitchen & living room. I've been sweeping every day at least 2-3 times a day but I have to, have to mop, it is so gross.
Ohhh, got take the morning meds, oh my god, this is a 1st in over 4 years that I didn't wake up & take them before getting out of bed 1st. I have all of you to thank because before I started coming here my pain & meds were always my 2nd thought (kids 1st), now I am just to excited to get here & see how everyone is....Okay, this is 2 days in a row & I had no sleep last night so I am sending some of my good luck & happy thoughts out to all of you, be back later, time for Lady to smell like a Lady again...
Love you and miss you, sorry I've been scarce. Feel pretty darn good today. Hope you feel better as well.
Hugs n hugs,
Theresa
yucko.
i went off the list and filled 10 water bottles with purified water, cleaned the sponges after putting away clean dishes from sunday and wiping down the counters and everything on. i can't get rid of the roaches here and it's giving me the heeby geebies. do have baits out.
ate some mashed potatoes, so i could get down a pain pill b/c i still have the sweats/chills and can't get on heating pad.
i have to break down and get a shower chair.
please let me do more.
eat lunch
get to gym for an hour and pick up son at 5PST
and last but not least get the bills paid and no arguing with grumpy hubby!
My goal was to shave my legs lol which I did, I also got my laundry put away and swept my floor. If I can get the kitchen cleaned I'd be thrilled. But I'm hurting pretty bad now and no pain meds till Monday. When I go to PM, I gave in and am going back to the one who insists I take steriod epi's. So that's what I'll be doing Monday!
