Pain in the 'you know what' -


I awoke very early, before the alarm set for 5:30 am was anywhere close.
I knew I would need extra time to shower, wash my hair, relax with the
 heating pad under my right thigh to get me moving.  
Pain is awful. Chronic physical pain can wear one down, make one cry, 
make one cranky, change your life. I feel for those who suffer with any type
 of chronic pain. I will always pray you get relief, hopefully without bad drugs
 or invasive surgery. 

Don't want this to be a 'pity party' - just want you to know how grateful 
I am that we have modern medicine and great doctors who try their 
their utmost to help their patients, especially we who are now in the 
geriatric group, sigh!  I know that right now there are so many out there
 suffering much worse with COVID than I am with a herniated disc.
 I hope they have good caring people around them and that they recover.

Off now to the hospital pain clinic for a spinal injection in hopes
it will relieve my nerve pain, give me back mobility and make me
a happy person. . . . . . .and perhaps not have to go under the knife
any time soon!

I'll be home later and hopefully can catch up with your blogs.
Circumstances have really slowed me down this week. . . . but I'm
thinking of you.
