A pain free night would be marvelous. I seem to be in a mini flare(?) or the beginning of one, or my last epidural is wearing off We've have a lot of stress around here, my brother-in-law has been critically ill, in hospice, and passed on to Glory on Tues. We going to his funeral tomorrow. I can't wear shoes and my legs are so purple and swollen I decided I was going to wear nylons. Last time I tried I felt like every bone in my foot was broken. So I went and bought what i though would be a big size, but not so that it would fall down. I had one leg on for about 1 1/2 minutes. I'm going to try again tomorrow. But I was excited because I had bought fake toenails. Mine are just nasty and years ago I had one removed and that just added to the nastiness. Well I'm all dressed and ready and going to zip these nails on. HA..everytime I would try to pull my foot up to my knee to reach the toes and then turn my foot a little or try to lift up one toe, my toes, my arch the ball of my foot was cramping like they were in a contest. I was so disappointed. So I decided to test my husband's devotion. He was out doing yard work, raking and sweating, and I asked him if he could come in and help me. He came in and saw that I was all ready, he was coming later, and asked what I needed him to do. I said I can't get my fake toenails on.(I've never worn them before) Boy did I get a look, but I explained the cramping and he conceded that he would try. even holding them up for him was causing them to cramp and tremble and I take two muscle relaxers a day. Well he perseverved, and after the fourth one, I said maybe you could start a new career. Needless to say I have right smart black/purple/red/blue manicured toes. If only it were as easy to fix the RSD. My husbands neuropsychiatrist says if they approve on first try you must have severe symptoms. I'd give back the approval if I could give back the RSD also.

Well, I think that there is a third option, and that is God's intervention in the process. That's the one I'm sticking with. PTL.

My midnight snack is over, maybe I can find a netflix movie to put me to sleep.

Congrats to you
