This week

This week has not been going very well for me.  In the afternoon on Monday, my pain level was raising.  By the time I had to make dinner, I was in pain that was beyond awful.  I made sure the kids had their dinner and went to lay down, but I could not get comfortable no matter how I laid down.  I texted Shawn and my back.  Told him I may have to go to the ER if I do not improve.  If it was not for my friend that I texted and told her about the pain I was in, I would have landed my butt in the ER.  She told me to use my tens unit.  Duh, how could I forget about my tens unit?  Well, it worked.  My tens unit got my pain down to where I could handle it.

I can not stand too long or sit too long.  I am fine at first, but the longer I sit or the longer I stand, the more pain I have.  Tens unit is helping, but there has to be something else.  Today I broke down and called my pain management doctor.  I knew if I was not seen soon that I would be no good to my kids, but that appointment is not until July 26th.  Of course, this coming week is full of camp days, meetings, doctor appointments and I am the one doing it all.
