Life’s Curveball: Part 8

 I was in the ER Wednesday, December 1, because I couldn’t walk. The pain down my leg started on Monday. Turns out it's my sciatic nerve pain & this pain going down my left leg.  It all goes back to the car accident.  I couldn’t have anything major for the pain because of the spinal injection.  What the ER doctor gave me worked.

I was to have a spinal injection Friday, December 2, but it was postponed until 12/10 because of my shellfish allergy. I have to have meds prior to the injection since it’s an iodine contrast with it.  Iodine is in shellfish & I have problems breathing with eating shellfish, which sucks because I love shrimp, crab, etc.   

I’m back where I was when I went to the ER & ’m stuck in bed. It has been hard to do anything but lay in bed.  I am so bored.  My boys are taking care of me.  Nothing is getting done in our home.  I am angry at that damn driver, who ran a red light.  I can't stand without wanting to cry.  I can't get my left leg onto the bed without wanting to cry.  I can't roll over without pain.  I can't do anything.
