Yesterday afternoon was really bad. Sometimes the pain is so bad I cry and there is no one here to help me.Yesterday I drove for the first time in 4 months to go get xrays. I could have asked my son in law but I cant keep asking for help. He has his own life, so I got into the car and drove to the hospital which is only 5 minutes away. By the time I parked, signed in, waited 45 min for an xray I was done. Then the xray tech walked me all the way to the xray dept and I had to lie down on the metal table. That was it ,. my eyes were actually tearing from the pain and then she told me to roll over on my left side...when she was done I couldn;t get off the table and needed her help. She said "WHEN DID YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY" and was surprised when I told her. I was bedridden and medicated for the rest of the day. I even had a hard time sitting on the couch to eat dinner. I am going to lay low today and keep resting my back . Talk to you guys later

So sorry you had a bad day. Please do get some rest. And I totally agree with you about how it feels to have to ask someone for help. Even with simple things since I am wheelchair bound. It gets frustrating. Please take care.

Oh I soooo understand!!!! Every time they put me on a table it is complete agony. I know it will take awhile for the flare to slow down. Sometimes they don\'t, do they? I hope yours does. Hugz, Annie
