Here it is, time to check in & share what you have going on the for week. Since Monday was a holiday I decided to wait till today as I felt most would be busy.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Thanks Susie for remembering.

Hopefully everyone survived the weekend and didn't overdo it.

D'oh! I forgot today's not really Monday!

Been having a rough patch the past few weeks, so my appearance and participation here has been scattered.

Since I usually thrive in the cold, the warm weather (anything above 70 for me) flares me up. But we're still getting some unseasonal chilly temps,.........and rains,..........and winds......

Finally got the clearance to start, you know, all official like and everything, back at the gym yesterday. Dang nabbit, my butt cheeks hurt just to sit. But maybe all that tapering back on PT and the fatigue from previous treatments, etc., caught up to me,...so this is me just getting back on the path again.

Yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Miss you guys.

The only thing PT is good for is getting me out to the shopping center next to the grocery store. It's doing nothing for pain, spasticity, balance ...

I can't get warm, mainly thighs down. I'm sitting at the computer with my feet on a heating pad. If I walk on the treadmill fast (for me 2 mph) for a few minutes I can get circulation going, but it doesn't last. If I try to garden a few minutes it stops the circulation and makes neck and shoulder and back hurt worse, and that does last!

My neurosurgeon is on vacation until July. I'll see the pain doc in a couple of weeks. The rehab doc is out for maternity but wasn't worth anything anyway.

Sorry for ranting, but an extra half Norco on top of the tramadol isn't helping. If I take any more I'll run out early. I'll have to try some OTCs. It's all been getting worse for a couple of weeks, since stopping Baclofen, but that didn't do anything but stop the big clonic jerks and make me sleepy. At least the jerks are still gone! (See the upbeat in the last sentence? Complaining to someone who understands makes it better.)
