Last Day

Well, last day as a one on one patient in Physical Therapy, on my own now to go to the pool between 11 and 1. Not too bad a deal. I got my TENS machine today, it is kinda weird to get used to wearing that. Some people wear it all day and have it running all day. I only run mine for 15-20 minutes at a time a couple times a day. Would NOT want to feel that going all day long right now. I just hope it helps me out with the pain so that I do not have to look into getting the spinal cord stimulator. Got everything done I could today, was nice to have Jake help me out before I took him home. He is a good kid. Going to just chill out for a while and head to bed later, actually dont have to get up early tomorrow. YEAH!

Well, I got my shot this afternoon, hurt like the dickens but I am seriously praying that it gives me some relief. It causes a bit of pressure for a few days after then it starts to ease up as it is absorbed. 
I have taken some time to rest and get some sleep on the couch. Got some good friends that helped me get Seth to practice and home and a wonderful mother that fed him some supper. 
Getting together with the grandkids tomorrow...hard to get the older ones together once in a great while  since they are all teenagers and busy busy busy. Lunch and a movie is on the agenda and I cant wait.

I have to say that I am sooooo happy that today is Tuesday the 24th! Today I get my shot, they are trying the lumbar area this time to see if they can block the pain signals, so far none of the other areas have given the results that we had hoped. I decided to start back on my Isagenix today. I have at least 2 months worth here that I need to use  before I start purchasing again but IF I plan right and order here and there when I have a little money then I can keep doing it for a while longer but I dont know if I can go back to doing it the way I did before. Money is just too tight right now. I am also supposed to get my TENS unit today. I am really hoping that it helps too. I am tired of hurting. If I just lay on the couch and do nothing all day I dont hurt as bad but that is not living my life. If I get up and go and do things or just taking my son to where he needs to go I hurt and some days it really gets to me.
No matter what I know that God is with me and I can handle anything that comes my way, just have to remind myself of that fact once in a while.

rough days

Very sad to say that I have had a couple of rough days. For some reason my legs were killing me along with my back last night and no matter what I did I could not get comfortable. slept quite a bit today so now I am awake. still not gotten anything done around here cant even get comfortable enough to make a pair of earrings today. Went to PT today and it did help some as far as the pain level dropped from 7 to 5 for a bit. was miserable by the time I got home and could take my pain medicine. just hanging out on the couch for a few more minutes before I can settle enough to head to bed. Have to take Seth to work in the morning.

need suggestions for ORGANIZATION....HELP

I am sooooo drowning in STUFF! I mean I have so many hobbies and so much stuff that I just cant seem to part with that I don't know what to do. I am wondering if anyone else out there has had this problem and found a solution or even a hint of a light at the end of the tunnel? I am not quite ready to be on hoarders and do not have missing animals in here or anything I just have lots of stuff. I have ADHD and have never been really good at keeping things put away but I am in the mood to make it my mission to get organized so that I can actually accomplish things when I want to instead of spending weeks getting everything together before I can even start.
Anyone out there got any ideas or suggestions? and please don't tell me to get rid of some of it, already tried that. lol

Reflections




Well, today is one of those days that you cant decide if it is a good one or not.There are things that could make it go both ways so I am just making the best of the day that God has given me and going for it. 

I have to say that I have spent a lot of time reflecting on the things that I missed with Cody that I am evolved with now with Seth. I am so grateful that my Mom and Dad were able to step in and take over when I was in school and starting out in the medical field. I miss working terribly but I am realizing that I am blessed in the fact that I am closer to my boys than I have been since they were little if not more so now.

I am very proud of both of my boys. Cody just graduated High School and is working steady, and he has found a new hobby and several new friends. Seth has been going to Football workouts this summer and has a job grooming with some ladies from church. He started Drivers Ed this week. Just a few things that are reminding me just how much they have grown up. 

It is getting ready to storm so I reckon I better get off of the computer and move on to trying to fold some laundry.
