Do you know about the SI joint?
There is one on each side of your spine. but it is located where the dimples are at your lower back/butt. They can get inflamed or dislodged and cause havoc in daily living. I have had a diminished pain in my left Sacral iliac joint =SI joint. It can also appear as sciatica. with pains in the buttocks then down your leg. My pain is gone at the site so I am happy about that. I don't know why it disappeared. I have chronic lower back pains that I have had for some time now. I think the chiropractor helped but one time he hurt my middle back and it really hurt. so I stopped going. my middle back gets stressed and aches, it never did that until he hurt me. My knees have been giving me fits. I know it is from over use with my job, I have to get down on one knee to wash peoples feet. both thighs closet to my knees were hurting badly. But they are getting better each day. my neck hurts off and on. It pops and cracks and some times it even grinds.These are chronic aches and pains that I just live with.Enough about that. having better posture helps when I remember to sit up straight on my padded stool. anyway, Jeff and I were gone from 9;30 am to 7;30 pm when we got home. I asked a security guard if he could walk me to my car. and explain how to get to jeff who was wheel chaired, at the patient pick up area. Jeff had a longer time coming awake enough able to walk And used the restroom before he could leave. So he is home and he had a normal belly button when he came home. today there is a pouching of puffyness that is of concern. There may be drainage at the site that can do that. He said when he read some sites that he turns to for advice regarding this procedure It could be normal so he is not freaking out about it. that was a long day for both of us. After we got home jeff laid down in bed and I ate right out of the can cold clam chowder which was tasty. We have a wind advisory up to 30 mile an hour winds gust up to 40mph. and temps are going to drop to the mid 30's. burr! The wind is howling. and the wind chimes are very active. Some friends showed up with dinner It was delicious! She is from hong kong and is an excellent cook. There was a fish that she cooked whole and bok choy and pork with ginger. yum At 6pm jeff took a whole pain pill I suggested to take a half to see how it effected him no he wanted to take the whole thing. After dinner was done He started to feel the effects of the pain pill And sent him to bed. He did not want to take anything else. He said his heart rate was low 50's it dipped down into the 40's at the hospital recovery room. his alarm keep going off. He would make him self stay awake. Because every time he was starting to fall asleep the alarm would go off. I just checked on him he is dozing off and on. and his respiration's are shallow and 14 bpm breathes per minute. I have been drinking partakes non-stop since I got home. It is good that I am not drinking alcohol. That would just matters worse. Thank you for reading this entire post. Thank you for your support! bizi |
thank you so much. How is Jeff's blood pressure now? What caused that?
Wow I am so sorry that you experience so much pain. Has physical therapy or massage helped. Do you take pain medicine every day and if so does it help and what is it? I don't have your tolerance for pain. the dinner sounds great. when does Jeff go back to the doctor? love, bobby |
jeffs heart rate is normal now.
he sees his dr in 2 weeks. sometimes I take advil for my back like today I took 2 advil. with food of course. always take advil 4 is maximum dose 3 times a day. I have a heating beaded neck collar moist heat it produces. I use it on my back when I need it.and I just like how it is. I microwave it for 1min and 45 seconds.It stays warm for a long time. how long do you microwave your sock with rice grains? I will stop drinking the partakes at 3 then switch to the ones that don't have any alcohol. The partakes have less then .5% so it is a good substitution because I like it. love, bizi |

I'm so glad things are good. I hope he continues to have a good weekend. Keeping him and you in my prayers keep us updated. Donna :hug::grouphug: |
great about Jeff. I am confused how many advil you take a day. the heated neck dollar sounds great. could i use it on my leg?
i put the sock in the microwave for 10 seconds but it does cool off fast.my stomach is so awful that right even though my leg still really hurts i haven't been taking pain killers. love bobby |
You can take up to 4 advils 3 times a day this is the rx amount.but no more than that. Do you have advil I would suggest you take it.
You could use the hot pack on your leg.When you first hurt it ice would have been for it.Jeff has a nifty ice pack that is self contained It is blue and you dont fill it with ice. you stick it into the freezer and freeze up these micro beads. it is blue like the old kind that you fill with ice. not sure if I described it good enough. you may have purchased one before.you are only supposed to use them for like 20 minutes which is about the time that it is cold for. you just stick it back into the freezer and take it out when ever you need it. It is really helping his pain in his belly. love bizi |
Jeff has another rehearsal tomorrow.
He will ask one of the guys to help him with the amp. he is still trying not to bend at the waist. He has been taking it easy I think, don't know what he is doing at school. We are going to a play on campus on thursday "urine town" They put it on many moons ago. It costs us $50 which is really high for a performance. Jeff said it was a collaborated between the performing arts school and the school of music. I am procrastinating doing our taxes and me doing charting again. I was caught up then got behind again. I don't know how I ever got anything done while I was drinking alcohol. I have made it 2 weeks so far. But I am drinking a lot of the partakes. They taste so good I really like them. I think that they produce endorphines like a rush of good feelings, like a chemical high or euphoria, like alcohol. anyway, I need to get serious about getting our taxes ready to take to the cpa to do our taxes for us again. thank you for reading my post as always. I appreciate your friendships over the years. love, bizi |
thanks. at first i used a cold pack. somebody from the building lent it to me.
i forgot what pain killer i have. i just got a big heating pad and put it in microwave. it felt so good. i got myself so depressed. i really don't know why i am a perfectionist and catastrophize. oh i had a couple of grilled chicken toasted sandwiches which were good. i will buy some more. i wish i could cry. love, bobby |
