I had a baby shower for a friends DIL last night and I'm about dead today. I saw my pain dr. yesterday and gave him my MRI results. He told me I must stop doing what ever it is that I'm doing, including any weight bearing exercise! If I give up that, I'm a goner. My surgeon believes that I should be doing what makes me healthy and happy short of sky diving, horse back riding, motor cross, etc. It's important to me in long run or the rest of my days will be miserable.

Even with the exercise I keep gaining weight. I hate my body, it's disgusting. I can't exercise enough to lose it and sitting just makes it pile on. What are we suppose to do? I can't give up, but I also don't want more pain meds. I hate taking them. I limit myself to my 2 percs a day and all the muscle relaxers I want, for now. He's trying to change my meds to something that will work better, but I won't do it. I think I'm making him mad.

OH well, today is a day of rest for my body. Off to the recliner I go!
