Default More of the waiting game....urrgg

I'm not reallly complaining....ok, I am...first I'm in Oklahoma....2 hrs east of Moore but lived in moore for 20 years....

that being said....I had an appt today with my pain doc to go over my meds....I am having to take my norco every 2-3 hrs....and morphine 2x a day....worried about my liver and was going to discuss upping my mscontin....but had to postpone because of the weather...

then had an injection scheduled for tomorrow was still undecided about that one....but had to be put off because they didn't realize they needed to ok it with my insurance...

just seems to go around and around andfinding out nothing...

I did have a couple of good days....just so I stay on top of my meds ... even got to spend the day with my family at a festival did well until about 4 pm....pain hit hard....even with the meds...

ok, just here venting....there is so much sadness out here right now....this is nothing compared to what some are facing...

as far as I know my mri is still scheduled for the 10th....but haven't heard from them yet either....

I'm sorry Deb. I know how frustrating this can be. I used to go thru all that too, but now things have settle down for me. Luckily I dont' have the injections anymore -- they don't work anyway.

And I'm SO sorry for the devastation out there! My heart goes out to everyone out there! It's so horrible to watch. We have tornadoes here in Michigan, but nothing like YOU do in Oklahoma! I'm so sorry.

I hope your pain lessens for you. It's awful when the pain knocks us down. Seems like we get a good day, and then 5 bad ones. It just plain sucks!

Keep us posted, okay? I'll say some prayers for you. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
