learning to know when its time to get help

PP · ~*Service Worker*~

This is 12 step work, N....you admitted you were powerless to heal this on your own, came to believe there were others to help you, made the decision to turn your will over to your HP for guidance and care through the medical professionals. I am sending you some healing energy (((Neshema)))

Love this share Neshema I was reminded that what others think of me is none of my business and If I take the action and let go of the results I will find help.

Prayers for a continued positive outcome

Oooooooooshhhhhh! Not good. Not good at all to hear you're still having trouble although a shot did help relieve some of it. I hope the interruption in the spasms thanks to the meds will help ease the muscle tension beyond the 48 hours for you, Rosie.

neshema I am so glad you went to the doctor for help. I know back pain. It's not a companion that I welcome.

I'm praying you will be better soon.

Take care of you.

hey ((((C))))) yea, this is a long seige...hope i am not falling apart b/c i need my body to be mobile...i can't quit work.....he used to kick me in the back when i was young...i had knots in it as a teen, but i guess i was strong enough to ward off troubles till the 1990's then it went bad with periodic spasms....this time??? i will just go to doc for that shot and muscle relaxors....i can't do this anymore....and i am gonna take time to do deep breathing and meditations.....all this expensive bad luck as me scared and that could have contributed to all this.......gotta make what changes i can.......hugs

oh yea, ya know, Bette, I didn't give a dam what anyone thought...oh i was so into "impressions" and "looking nice/respectable/dignified" all the time, yesterday i just didn't care...i was so bad, i only brushed my teeth and washed my face.....no bath....just had to get to doc as they were squeezing me in, and omg, it was so painful to sit....sitting just killed me...when nurse called me to weigh me , it took forever to get out of my chair.....i had to use my arm strength and kinda push me in forward motion to get to the scale....then in the exam room, i had to just keep walking and stretching to keep the pain to some sort of level....it even affected my speach it was so bad........thanks for positive prayers.....(((B)))

Glad to hear you could get out for a bit and delight in some reading. I hope your work day goes well.

I am very well; hopefully the carpet installers will be here today so we can get our furniture back in the bedrooms!
