Falling Apart

I tweaked my back this morning. The pain had me mostly bed ridden all day. The pain is relentless. I got up to use the toilet and smashed my toe into the door because I don't have complete control over my leg. My guts are hurting from cancer, and I would really like to use the toilet. I guess this is one of those days. Hopefully, I'll sleep well and poop in the morning. That would be a grand start to tomorrow.

    Wow! Grand picture!!!!!
    Yup...back trouble....I remember it well....

    9 days before we were to leave for The Netherlands...on a 10 hour flight!!! I actually told my beau to call the paramedics, that I could NOT get up off the couch!!! He gave me a Vicodin, I had my normal 'hot flash' reaction, but I could stand and made it to the toilet...getting off the toilet was another challenge...

    Sorry you are having such a tough time!!!

    BIG hugs, Kathi

    Awful
    So sorry to hear about your back. It seems like when that hurts, everything else in your body hurts. Hope you feel better soon. You look nice in your picture and thank you for serving your country.

    feeling better
    I finally broke down and called the Dr. He gave some muscle relaxers and some pain meds. I was in lala land for a while. Still mostly bed ridden, but I have been able to move around some. I will go for a walk tonight. Then see how I feel tomorrow. I haven't taken a pain pill or muscle relaxer in about 12 hours. The cramps have eased off. Thanks for caring!
