Oh My.
When i was able to get on here and i saw all these replies, my eyes teared up. I've never seen such comradere in all my life.
I'm speechless. I can only hope to be as helpful to others someday as you've been to me. Consider each and every one of you hugged
Everything that was said in each and every one of these posts pretty much rounds out the entire medical community. I only wish it were that logical in the 'real' medical setting.
I've written down all the good pointers from every one of you and by day 4 of this trial I will have my head together.
It's obvious that when i posted that thread, i was fresh out of the frying pan, so you were hearing me in the raw...confused, ******, hurting, and overwhelmed. But hey, what does that say?
look where i came running to while in that frame of mind! YOU GUYS !!
And i spose i did leave out some of the things, which really painted the picture of me being such a 'victim'... the PM doc DID ask what i had at home for my breakthru pain. I told him i take Lortab for that. So, that's when he said, ok, then ditch the patches during this trial or you won't be able to know if your pain is being relieved and it will have been a waste of time on all our parts. Which actually is completely logical and even without being told that, i would have had the common sense to know better than to come home and numb myself up with my pain meds to not feel ANY pain. It's just the way it all went down....left me outta sorts you know?
There's just so much to think thru in such a short amt of time, but the journal thing is totally smart. And for the months leading up to this, it's all i've been thinking and talking about, so it's not like i should act like it's all so strange to me.
Like i said, my emotional state was in the raw. Now i actually feel a bit foolish, ...but look at the way you all were THERE for me when i needed it most!! Plus, my husband was doing everything possible as well. He bought me one of those 'reacher/grabber' things.
best ten bucks we ever spent !
Things are much better now and this weekend, we will go walking and things that i couldn't really do B4 (peripheral neuropathy in both legs for those who don't know) and, like you said....to just do lots more little things around the house.
Again, thank you all....i saw a lot of heart and soul in those posts.....
God Bless
