Melody, Liza Jane is so totally right. The Tempurpedic is wonderful, .....unless......you have to slide your body. When a nerve is involved like this one is it hurts to move 1/8 of an inch. You plan every single tiny move. And laying down and not being able to put your heel down on the mattress and scoot is agony!! The body simply isn't able to move itself when there is this much pain. And this mattress is not good in this condition. Not being able to simply turn yourself over in the bed is agony!! Last night I lay down on my side, winced, tried to put a pillow between my knees, couldn't, then rolled to my back and couldn't lay straight. I strained to get my cell phone and called my husband. He came and helped me put a pillow under my knees. I stayed that way until 2:00 a.m. I had to sit up sideways and pull myself off the mattress. I've not laid down today because I'm afraid I can't get up again. This is the pits!

There isn't any position that doesn't hurt. I got the CT scan report today. I am broken in so many places that I didn't know. I kept thinking, it's all inflammation. But if it was, then it was inflammation from all the breaks. My pelvis is broken in two places. The high bone on the side of the body (ishial, I think ) is cracked accross to the sacroilliac joint on one side. Both wings of the sacrum are cracked downward and then accross the spine at S3. I don't know how I'm walking. Well....I'm not. The crutches are my legs right now.

But, we'll get there. I'm starting Forteo tomorrow. I have help from Liza Jane's bone doctor and hopefully they can recommend someone in Dallas.
