Hello All and sorry check in is a bit late.

Thanks to all the new members for your intro posts you guys are awesome!! Its much easier when we know a little about you to help.

This is check in and you will see this hopefully every Monday. This is where we meet each week to let others know whats up for the week ahead. For those going for tests,scans,Dr appts,or surgery you can tell us here.

If anyone is having extra problems pain related or otherwise and you would like prayers or healing thoughts please let us know. Here anything goes pretty much and if its good or bad we care.

How was your weekend? How is your pain? Stop in and say hi and I look forward to seeing everyone!!

Thanks for starting this thread Vickie....

I've been having a rough go of things, the past few weeks especially, and today in particular has been a big flare up day for me.

Pain doc appointment this morning....

My pain doc writes Rx's in such a way that I run out the day before I see her. It's generally fine, because, hey, it is what it is, right? It's been a nasty weekend, making this morning (my usually 'lower pain time of day') already starting rougher....

I ended up sitting for over 2 hours in a very uncomfortable waiting room chair this morning (with breaks to stand, sway, rock, etc.)....then my pharmacy didn't have one of my meds, which resulted in a 30 minute drive to the next pharmacy, a 30 minute wait for it to be filled, a 30 minute drive back to my pharmacy to pick my regular meds up (they needed time to be filled anyway),....

I ended up missing my DEXA today. I feel like I'm being skewered right now, the pain is really intense. I'm guessing because of the delay in getting my meds,....even though it was only by a number of hours, evidently it was enough to start the spiral and I don't think I caught it in time. My meds aren't really touching this.

Feeling cranky....

Meh.

I've also been in the blahs...starting to become depressed again not being able to do anything. I'm sick of my own company. I don't see the neurosurgeon until next week. Anxiously waiting for that appt so hopefully I can start feeling better! Sad day at the homefront today....my favorite cat has passed away. Thank god I still have my other animals to help that pain away.
