Default not doing too well

The pain I am in is pretty awful. I still hurt from the areas that had the lapriscopic probes (4 incisions) and I am suffering intense pains in my right leg and left arm and right thumb. I am having to face the fact that I am indeed losing my independence. I need help now. Kiddo and his dad do a lot, but I am getting to the point where I won't be able to put my chair in the car to go to doctor appts. I honestly shouldn't be doing it anymore. I've been rather depressed over this too. Got back on wellbutrin (on it for just about 2 months now) and at least that is helping, but the pain? my knee, foot/ankle are bad, my shoulders hurt every morning. Getting out of bed has been really hard for a long time now.

I am just so tired of the pain escalating like this, had a talk with my other half about it, and he's most likely gonna have to go with me when I go places now because I can't do the stupid chair myself anymore. Hopping is why my knee, ankle and foot are bad now, and my left arm is bad along with the thumb on the right hand because I had tried using my old arm crutchs/Canadian Canes that I've had since 87' and after only using them for maybe a month this way I am in severe pain most of my waking moments. Needless to say I have not been feeling up to sewing. Which also depresses me. *sigh*

I am sorry for being away so long, it's just no fun to be me right now. October is around the corner, and I don't do well in October. Hope you're all managing better and are well. I'm sorry if I worried anyone. ♥

I am sorry that you are in this much pain.
what do the doctors say?
could you work with a PT to see about strengthening your muscles.
glad that you came back.

Thanks everyone. I am managing as best as I can. This is exactly what I was afraid before I had the heart cath and bladder surgery. That I'd lose the ability to lift my chair independently in and out of the car to go on appts or shopping alone. *sigh* I am hoping the doctor will have some idea of what to do. I am at a loss. And sadly back up to 230. Just feeling disgusted with myself....

I might be away from the board for awhile, but as long as I am able I will come back.
