High Hopes
I had such high hopes that things were beginning to turn around for me pain and health wise. I still have hope but it isn’t as high as it was before today…
I ended up having to go in and work 8 1/2 hours at the cafe as the cook - this means some lifting and carrying things, working at the grill with the heat cooking the food, and spending almost the entire time on my feet. Well this resulted in not only the pain in my hip increasing and beginning to shoot down my leg but also the pain radiating up my back all the way to the bottom of my ribs. The pain is so great that I am completely nauseated and the PA and I aren’t sure if that is just the pain or if it is the oral steroids adding to the nausea. I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin and I can’t even think straight. I don’t know what to do and neither does the PA at this point either.
Frustration is the key word for today!
