Update for end of May

I have been doing better these last few weeks. I am taking the doubled prescription of Gabapentin and have been eating better now I've been gluten free. My pain level is lower, I feel I am healing, from both the fusion and my disc replacement. My outlook on life is clearing, like the clouds on a windswept day. Poetic, aren't I? But it is true. I am now quilting, reading for pleasure and eating delicious yummys. I am getting better. Not to say I don't still have pain, and often. I do. I had the weirdest nerve tingles across my right shoulder today. I think it's from the sewing. I must cease a little earlier in the my day. I am only doing small projects, and when the soreness or nerve pain heightens, I stop. I know my well-being is contingent upon being prudent with my time spent at my hobbies, good rest, good food and solitude. I am okay, or I will be. 
Now, off to bed as it is quite late or early, whichever...do as I state I will do...rest and care for myself. No one else can do it for me.
