Tomorrow

Well, I ended up seeing the pain management Dr yesterday because my stupid back pain came back with a vengence. I really didn't know what he was going to do. I thought he would tell me to take my pain pills more regularly. After examining me and seeing that this pain also was nerve involved he sat with his hand on his forehand, tapping his fingers. I have stressed more than one doctor and haven't even tried...

He ended up prescribing Neurontin and a different muscle antispasmodic that hopefully would work and not make me extremely nauseated like the one I was taking.

Today, I actually could lift my right leg (granted it was only a few inches) and the pain is less. Yippee! I'll take little improvements.

Tomorrow I sign papers, and get my first Neupagen shot. I have been told several times to expect bone pain and plan on taking my pain pills...so...I petition your prayers specifically that I will be able to handle the pain and still be functional and positive. I have found that praying for specifics is pretty amazing. I know the Lord answers prayers and I am hoping this is one that will be answered the way I would like. Thanks to any of you who are reading this and following me.

I got to say goodbye to several people, particularly to my wonderful GI buddies. Just seeing them charges me up. They are so great.
It is interesting to be leaving your home and not know for sure that you will be coming back. It creates all sort of feelings. I haven't really handled leaving Dave behind or the kids..of course most of them aren't in Logan.

Today was a gift ...after being so very miserable for the past 10-12 days, today I was able to enjoy my brother, go out to eat with Dave and Ken and Grandma Jane and I didn't hurt bad. Truly a gift. I am grateful!! I am blessed.
