Depression And Chronic Back Pain. Back from the eye doctor ?
Q.There is another place maybe for those shots, but it might make it difficult to sit! Could you get the shot/s in a different place each day? One day in abdomen, one in legs, one in upper arms maybe? I mean switch around?
A.Between the pain pills, pills for depression and sleeping pills I was pretty groggy most of the time. It took me a long time to convince myself that I could manage my pain on my own. I read somewhere that the meds I was taking for pain is addictive...so I wanted to be rid of them ASAP. I do feel perkier than I have in months. I don't know what I would do without him. He is the one that has to wrap my legs every night with foam and ace bandages to keep my legs from swelling back up. He did all of the cooking, cleaning besides waiting on me when I came home from the hospital. I am very thankful for my Dan... He liked the hug... The grass will come back next year, but don't fail to water the trees. Once a tree goes brown it doesn't come back. There is nothing more sobering than spending the night in intensive care with all kinds of wiring hooked up to you. I was gasping for air with each breath. Dan asked them if this was serious enough to call my sisters (who had just left to go back to New York) and the doctors said to call them asap and tell them to get back here and say goodby. I was really more scared laying there in bed in the lead lined room on my back with the internal radiation treatments (3 days straight). I was limited to visitors from behind a lead bench (only Dan came around to kiss me), for 5 minutes, 3 times a day and the only time I got to move was to get moved to my side for bedpan time. I must be a tough old bird to have gone through all of this and still smile that I am a survivor...; How horrible Shirley to lie there for three days, see visitors for a total of 15 min. and not be able to move! What torture! I guess you are a tough old bird! I felt so bad when Dan when back to work. I mean I was glad he could go back to work but I knew he wouldn't be able to see you all day. I don't know how you two got through it. A lot of love, I guess.
