I hate my back.

May 28, 2010

So, I had my PT evaluation yesterday....and this morning I did get out of bed a little easier.....but I started having spasms to beat the band this morning.  I literally went into work with tears in my eyes.  My PT fit me in - I arranged coverage for my patients, and I came home. 

The spasms are still coming and going - any transitions from sitting to standing are agony.... Ice is still my BFF..... and my trip home for the weekend to Scranton has been cancelled.  I need a quiet weekend....and I'm thrilled it's a long weekend....I just hope to GOD that my back feels better (even a little) by next weekend.  My sister won tickets and pit passes for the Pocono 500 NASCAR race.  I have been so psyched to go..... I just want to be able to tolerate sitting/standing/riding in the car.  Ohyes....I'll be there.

I borrowed the TENS unit from work for the weekend.....it has helped during my treatments at the clinic.  I'm really hoping it'll help me get back in the swing of things.  The doctor ordered me some pain patches.....my PCP....I was worried, though...b/c it's a NSAID....but when I called my surgeon he said go for it.  So I'll be wearing that to bed tonight..... hoping it will help me to sleep and ease the transition into waking hours tomorrow.  I will let you know. 

Talk soon! Thanks for reading!
