Wouldn't that be grand to have a miracle pill that would end all this misery!

Today I am still the same - dying of pain. Ughhhhhhhhh. Pain, pain go away and don't ever come back again. :D

Just to update you: I have a phone call with my doctor at 1:30 - this is the worst pain I have experienced. I am frightened that I have messed up my back so please pray for me.
 
Thank you for responding. Yes, we had severe weather, tornados some distant from me, and apparently will continue thru the night with severe weather.

I was already in pain from the damp weather but with this manuever the pain is sky high. I just took an extra breakthru med and pray that I feel a little better soon. One can only hope that this is a minor hiccup.
 
Pepper, so sorry to hear of the latest trigger. I have a question, though - is your husband not all over your case to stop stop stop? I ask because since my pain skyrocketed from my fainting spell Feb. 1 (and now going for trial SCS in May), my hubby has really sat me down and emphatically requested I STOP, cease ,desist, anything that is bending, lifting, twisting. He said he has enough to do, what with working full time, taking care of the house, and now we are moving (a whole other issue). I can do exactly zippo to help move, btw. :nono: He said it very lovingly and he is the best best best of husbanRAB. Is and always has been so helpful, but he said he just can't be the best he can be away from the home worrying about me doing the one more thing that will be "it" for me.

So, I finally listened to him and stopped trying to be so helpful, stopped being so stubborn. I can honestly tell you I don't bend to do a thing. I don't put things in the oven, I don't pick things up off the floor. I don't bend down and get ice out of the main freezer on the bottom refrig. (I walk out to the garage and get ice from the freezer on the top refig. I don't even lean down to dust the nighttables in our bedroom. I bought more of those Gopher grippers and have them all over the house. (Lately, I seem to drop everything.)

If I can't do it standing up, or from a fully seated position WITHOUT leaning, I don't do it. I personally just don't want this to get any worse, and I feel so bad for him already.

So, do you have a more understanding husband than I do? :p

What is driving me nuts is my personality, my mile a minute style and mind (and mouth) are all fine unless I've had to take full meRAB, but my I am trapped in my body. I suspect you are the same way?

I am so envious of your doctor!! He sounRAB amazing and such an answer to prayer! I have to get all new doctors after we move, so I have some anxiety with that. We don't move for about 6 weeks yet, so I have some time.

Our 15 year old son has been sooooo helpful, though, and that really takes the load off hubby.

I hope this pain calms down as fast as it came on. Get in your nest and stay there, sister!! ( ( HUGS ) )
 
Hi Pepper,

I have not been on the boarRAB for awhile but just wanted to say, sorry you have been having such a bad time. And yes, it is sad the simplest task can be so painful for us at times, well most of the time really. :(

Sending you ((((Gentle but caring hugs your way))))

Hey Pepper, I just left you a post on a different thread. I am sorry for your mishap, but I sure do understand. I can usually get things in, but can never get things out of the oven. I went out and purchased a countertop roaster pan. I can roast, bake, and steam items in it and I don't have to lean over to use it. (It even saves energy, so even better)! I got it at one of the big box stores and it was only about 30.00. You may want to look into that. I made a whole turkey at Christmas in it and I also make meals for just myself, in it.

Anyway, I am thinking about you and will keep you in my prayers.

Hello Diet Pepper.....I am so sorry to hear of your latest setback....You have alwasy been so positive and helpful to me and everyone else, you don't deserve this....But it does sound like your new Dr. is at least helping you get to the bottom of it... Please keep that wonderful positive attitude that you have given us and that has helped us all..

You will be in all of our prayers and pray there is a quick solution..

Warm gentle hug:angel:s...
 
So many times my husband set me down and talk about slowing down after my 2 failed spinal fusions. I understand everything right, but I feel like not doing anything makes me feel like I don't leave a normal life. I always worked hard, 2 kiRAB, family, frienRAB - was such a pleasure to do things for all of them...
Things changed, I can't do anymore what I used to do of course. But I still cook on some days, do things here and there. Some days I am OK, some days I over do it and pay with sleepless, painful nights.

I do understand each of you: we all want to feel needed, want to feel "alive", want to see happy faces of our loved once when you bring them a nice meal cooked by mommy...
Very hard to deal with it, but we still have to learn to slow down and take better care of ourselves.

Dear Diet, I hope your pain will go easier on you and you will be able to enjoy summer...
Best wishes to all of you!:angel:
