Starting Another Week
I'm doing okay today. I'm getting accustomed to the new level of daily pain. Mine tends to grow, spike then level off at a higher rate signifying new problems which leads to the next surgery. I'm hoping this isn't the case at this time. I really don't want to go through yet another in so short a time. I will see neurosurgeon a week from Thursday, having new exrays done and completing another week of PT prior to the appointment. I am stewing a little at night, running scenarios through my head as I tend to do; which is not good for me. Prayer, sleepy time tea and my heating pad puts me right to sleep and ends the cycle of thinking, thank God. I am missing my PT session today as I have no ride and it's a 3 mile round trip walk. I thought it best not to attempt it. It's sunny but chilly and quite windy today. I've been "playing" in my Goodreads profile today, adding more books and updating the ones I'm reading now. I just got my next books in the mail for review so am glad to have the opportunity to read new authors and books. It keeps me busy. I have a healthy soup on the stove and the smells are tantalizing. Today is a "take care of me" day. I may even deep- condition my hair today and languish under a hot shower. This always takes the chill out of my back when it's bad, like it is today. Doesn't help with the nerve pain though. Gotta move, no more sitting...pain is radiating down my leg again. More later, perhaps.

Hot soup and a good book, sounds like a piece of heaven. I love soup , but can\'t eat tomatoes so recipes are limited.
Sleepy time tea, a few years ago one of my friends bought me herbal teas and I think that was one of them. I will have to purchase more.
Hope tomorrow is pain free.
