My last two posts have been pretty intense, I know that....thank you for all of your responses, etc. They were in no way meant to be depressing or to represent that I was depressed. Hey, when one is inspired to write, I say WRITE! :)  Sometimes at holidays memories and feelings associated with them are just more clearer, arent they?

 

Update on hubz... he is still in alot of discomfort...all week long we have attacked it unmercifully with chiropractic, massage and pain killers. Today we are going to the pool after my last client and going to walk it out a little and then he can use the whirlpool and the steam room... maybe later I will massage it, since I didnt do that yesterday.  I have been trying to do that part every other day. I even had my therapist work on him, cause sometimes it's just better to have someone other than family work on family.

 

So, this morning we are a fine pair, I put tiger balm on his left calf, and then he put some on me, finally doing so without complaining about it getting on his fingers.  Odd that we are both affected on the same side isnt it?

 

He says to me, I dont know how you have dealt with this for so long Dawn... I am a wimp when it comes to pain. I just nodded. ( LOL!)  But I do feel for him. Plus he is our main breadwinner.  His job has offered him to come and work in the office next week if he can per the Dr.. which he is going to see again on Tuesday. He drove out there Friday but they were having a meeting ( probably a christmas party! the devils!). The Xray shows L5/S1 deterioration at the disc level, same as mine was after my accident. 

 

Hoping that conservative treatment and good self care will work for him. I know alot of you suffer with sciatica, so I will post some sciatica information soon.

 

Well, I should go get ready to head over to the office, and earn my keep!!

 

Have a super Saturday!

 

Love and Laughter,

Dawn

Re: Hubby was home all week!
Yes, pain just wears you down. I have an appt with the surgeon who did my neck surgery 10 years ago, on Jan. 3. I'm afraid of what he is going to tell me, but I'd rather know the truth. I'm afraid I'm going to need more surgery. My chiropractor took an x-ray which shows that I have nearly no disc left between 2 vertebrae in my neck (I don't know which ones, but 5-6-7 were fused 10 years ago) which is likely the cause of the tingling, vise-like grip in my left upper arm, and the heavy feeling in that arm at times.  If indeed surgery is indicated, I hope it can wait til summer.  I'll post after I see the doc.
