Subject: Hearts and Humor - I'm hurting - November27, 2006



Hello, my wonderful family of readers.

I'm sorry, but I wasn't able to get a new story together

this weekend.

I just spent the last eight hours at the emergency room.

Ginny’s son was in town for Thanksgiving. We took them

into Manhattan. We were out all day. It was a mistake though.

I’ve been having trouble with my sciatic nerve.

    My sciatic nerve acts up once in a while. Last week it

was giving me some pain but nothing too bad. It was hurting

on Friday again. On Saturday morning it was hurting bad.

I took something for pain and Ginny and I took her son, his

fiancee and his little boy into Manhattan

We were on our feet for the better part of 9 hours.

 

I was hurting, but no too bad. Ginny and I fell asleep

on the sofa while watching TV. I woke up around 2 or 3 AM

and couldn’t move. I tried to get up to go to the bathroom

but the pain drove me to my knees. I had to crawl to the

bathroom and back.


    Ginny woke up and gave me pain medication again, but

I had to crawl up the stairs to bed. Ginny had to undress me.

Several times during the night I woke in terrible pain. I

couldn’t find a comfortable spot.

This afternoon, it was so bad, even the Tylenol and other things

Ginny gave me didn't help. We went to the hospital

They gave a little cup filled with pills – muscle relaxers

(Valium), an anti-inflammatory, and a pain med.

   Four hours later, I felt better. I walked to the bathroom

with Ginny’s help, because I was woozy.

I got back to my bed and Ginny helped me dress.

I sat on the edge of the bed and waited for the doctor.

As I did, the pain hit again. It shot down my leg and centered

on my knee. They had to give me another batch of pills.

Three hours later that seemed to work. I just got home with

prescriptions.

   The pills are making me nauseous. I didn't eat all day, which

is probably making the pills upset my stomach.


I’m a mess.


    I promise to get you a story as soon as I am able to sit

at my computer for any length of time. I have some wonderful

Christmas stories from last year and ideas for several more.


We are up stuck at 840 members. My goal of 1000 by the end of the

year looks like an impossible one. Please help me get as close

as possible.
