Hoping For A Better Day 1/17/2014
So I'm hoping for a nice quiet day today. I have to run down to pick up my med cream. It seems the combo steroid / anesthetic pain cream helps as I believe the steroid sinks deeper into the skin which allows the anesthetic to reach the damaged nerves which seem to be deep below the skin.
If I use the combo med every 3-4 hours it seems to help. I just need to keep the skin medicated and pray one day the nerves go back to normal. I'll give it a week or so then call the doc if things aren't getting better. Last night and this morning the pain is mild so I guess we will see what happens. Wait and see...story of my life!
Tomorrow I have to stay at my friends house as he is getting a new TV but has a class and won't be home. I told him to pick me up and I want pancakes!
Sunday me and my aunt are going to look at that house for my mom. They are calling for some snow and my mom is afraid to drive 2 hours which I understand. We can look then determine if the house is something she would even like. They all look nice on the realty web site.
Next Wed is my primary doc appointment. I need to talk to her about getting some more Klonopin. I hope she gives me more as I only have a few more days worth and I'm not ready to rely only on Prozac yet as it doesn't manage my anxiety enough. I'll discuss this with her and see what she thinks.
When did my life become doc appointments and pain meds? I hate getting old. Shit just falls apart and it's like what do I really have to look forward to? I need to discuss this with my therapist. I hope I have time next week to schedule an appointment. I just hope I can put the stupid pain on the backburner so I can talk about something else. I'm tired of talking about this pain but I do need to journal it so I can have a record.
Anyway, one more coffee then the pharmacy. I have work to do this afternoon barring anything stupid happening at work like yesterday! It should be quiet.
Time to make the donuts....

Yeah getting old is real stupid. May I ask a question? I\'ve been given xanax and I swear my memory is gone. Have youever taken it and is Klonopin better? I love the relief it offers, but I can\'t remember some things that I should. It may be because I\'m taking a pain med too. I really just feel like a freaking junkie for needing anything!!!
So is this med that is working the first one or second???? I\'m thinking the first since you are going to pick it up. At least it is giving you some relief so that is better. Hope it keeps on. Thinking positive for you.
Hope the house turns out to be a good option for your mom. That would be great for both of you to live so much closer.
Have a good weekend if we don\'t talk before Monday. Eat some pancakes for me!
