How to finish that sentence??? I am absolutely positive that I would be more patient if I could shower. But it is good to know per my husband and doctor, that I don't smell! I really want a shower!
My surgical pain is less today, and I will probably poke my head outside today and try to walk to the next house. I have discovered that if I don't have pain, I don't need the Neurostimulator on. Once I get used to it and have several programs to use, then I can experiment more fully. That is really what this is about - experimenting. My pain tends to change places, although it is consistently annoying me in the same places most of the time. I know that this device is meant to help leg and back pain, I am hoping hoping hoping that it feel sympathetic towards my bladder nerves, and decides to help the Interstitial Cystitis (http://www.ichelp.org/).
My life has changed so drastically with the onset of different pain conditions. I fought it for many years, but ultimately the pain became so bad it was impossible for me to fight it any longer. For many years, I was very down on myself. I blamed myself for having to leave work, to change homes, and cars, and daily activities. I would bet all chronic pain patients go through similar things. During this period though, I had wonderful blessings, I got grandchildren! It is true that this helped me feel better, and forget the pain for awhile. What a gift!
On Friday, August 16, at my doctor's visit he suggested I find a television series to watch and catch up on that. Maybe. I am thinking about it. I am also going to see about a series of books to read. NOT Nora Roberts. I am just not up for that. Off to search Amazon.
Don't forget - I am still working on tying my granddaughters quilt. The one I made for her when she was 5. I want to be able to give it to her at her 8th birthday in October!
I made a card last night. It has been awhile, and I have missed my crafting space. I challenged myself to make a card for items in the areas that I could reach without violating my limits. I am still working on loving it. Today may bring another challenge. With the new muscle relaxers that I got, I do not get as fog brained!
Sunday paper awaits me, and I am getting tired already. How that does suck!!!!!!
