Up and at 'Em

Well Hello! Funny story, I fell out of my shower two months ago.      I will just let your imagination run off with that. All 275 pounds of me, plus a shower rod and curtain came tumbling out of my tub, birthday suit and all. My chihuahua was the cause and also collateral damage. (He is fine BTW). Long story short, busted my ribs on the toilet, landed on my left hip and shoulder, and had to replace my poor shower rod. Now, I was OK aside from some pain and limping around for a few days. My hubby and I laughed about it after. It wasn't until about two weeks ago that I decided to get some imaging done. WHY? Well, I had non stop pain all of the sudden while sitting, or laying, or all the things. Turns out, I injured some muscles in my leg, back and pelvis that hug my sciatic nerve. Which causes a myriad of issues. A shot of steroids and muscle relaxer had me feeling better, and then a week of muscle relaxers and steroids to minimize the swelling. That being said, frien

Hello again! If you took the time to read my first blog, GOD BLESS YOU . I know it was a bit of an aimless rant. I wanted to only introduce you to me and the surface of my condition.  Today, the first thing I want to write about is my day. Not just today, but what my routine looks like versus the average working person.  TO be fair, I should really start with bedtime. Trevor (my spouse), normally won't get home until about 2 am.

Pain.        What is it really? Pain can be subjective, as everyone has a different pain level. Pain can be emotional, physical, and even spiritual. You can feel someone else's pain. You can cause someone pain. You can even imagine pain.  When I googled pain today, this is what it said: Pain:  noun 1. physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury. synonyms: suffering ,  agony ,  torture ,  torment ,  discomfort ache ,  aching ,  soreness ,  throb , throbbing,  sting , stinging,  twinge , shooting pain,  stab , pang , cramps; discomfort ,  irritation ,  tenderness. (Dictionary.com) I am fairly confident we have all experienced pain on some level in our lives.  I am also willing to bet you have tried to compare your pain to another human's pain to determine who should gain the higher pain award. (subconsciously of course) The kind of pain I want to talk about can't be seen on a test. The pain I am talking
