This is the third year in a row that I've ended up confined to my bed because of DDD, on my birthday. I figure crying again this year is a waste of my time. I have books to catch up on from my...

I'm never sure these days how to answer the age old question; how are you feeling? "Like crap, thanks so much for asking" seems rude. Ha ha. I don't want sympathy just healing. It's only been one day...

Yes, I will do as I'm told but with caveats. I will enjoy what I can, while I can. I am grateful not to be in a hospital right now. I had vanilla coffee, not motor oil. I woke up snuggled in my...

I am trying to stay positive today. I had an impromptu PT session as yesterday was a bust. They have determined that PT isn't helping me. I didn't have deep tissue massage as my back is swollen above...

I am home, on bed or other kind of rest until tomorrow when I go to PT therapist to see if I'm any better. I had the heat as usual but when the massage therapist lightly touched my spine in prep for...

I am stymied. The pain isn't going away. I honestly thought a day of rest would help but although I'm not in agony, it still lingers and that worries me. Okay, deep breath. Nothing I can do to fix...

I noticed the time stamp on my entries for my journals. Today is Sunday for me and yesterday I want to the quilt show. I spent the night in agony until I finally gave in and broke my six week...

I spent the morning at a quilt show with a friend. We sure did enjoy the gorgeous entries, chatting with other quilters and deciding on our next projects. My experience was marred by agonizing back...

This was my last official PT session. It's been determined there is nothing they can do for me. I've had to back off on exercises gradually over the last two weeks. I do enjoy the heat and massage;...

I am sitting here, contemplating all things life related. I had PT yesterday. We've taken away most of my exercises, added a new stretch; and here I just spent good money on home equipment only to...

I know, I know. I spent yesterday in bed, cozy and with my dog by the side of the bed. I felt lazy but needed restorative rest and to get off my feet. The pain worsens when I stand or walk. A longer...

It's funny, in a sad kind of way really... how different I've become since my diagnosis with DDD. I begin my day in pain but each day brings new challenges, new expectations for the day, new...

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...

After last night's drama, I'm doing surprisingly well. My CNS acts oddly after stressful situations. I get chills and then hot flashes, night sweats and my breathing gets shallow. I've learned to...

I'm still awake and it's early morning now. We had a crisis with our adult youngest who is here from our of state last night. The stress has kept me wide eyed and bushy tailed all night. I know we...
