Pain

Today I felt more pain than usual in my lower back. I'm thinking we will soon receive some rain and that's why I'm hurting more. I still can't feel the right side of my neck which Martha had mentioned. I am trying to walk a little more each day hoping it will help with my back and weight. I haven't gone to see my PCP yet but am hoping to go soon. She wanted to see me after my surgery to check to see how my pain was and how I was doing afterwards. I know my mom can't wait for me to get rid of this neck brace and drive again since now she hardly has any free time or just time for herself anymore since my surgery and it seems like instead of her plate getting any smaller it literally has doubled. My dad has fallen 3 times since Christmas and my sister has many symptoms of appendicitis. I'm tired of not being able to help and continue to feel useless but I don't want to jeopardize my fusion so all I can do is pray. I'm hoping my sister just has a sprained muscle or something that doesn't have anything to do with surgery otherwise my poor mother might just lose it. She has so much stress on her sometimes I worry something might happen to her. My incision still hurts if I touch it or if something rubs against it and I felt some sharp pain I don't know how to say it but like (piquetes). I had not felt them in a while hopefully they go away soon.
