Bad Day

I was going to the gym this morning but I never made it. My back started hurting really really bad for no reason at all. I knew the gym would not be in my best interest. Guess maybe I am having a pity party. I am just so tired of hurting that I feel like screaming. cookie curled up on the couch where the pain was in my back and I could feel her little heart beating. With chronic pain like this that is 24/7 I sometimes wonder how can I keep going. I am miserable and nobody can help me. God must have His reasons but that does not mean I have to like to  but I have to accept it. If I could have one day, just one without chronic pain I would be so thankful. I guess the older I get my ability to deal with pain is not what it used to be. Ok I will shut up now and pity party over.

You are still a new quitter.  Be gentle with yourself.  You are going to have bad days. Emotional pain or physical pain are more easily tolerated when we feel good.  You will feel good again.  I like your idea of a heating pad!!

I was thinking of you today while I was out with my parents running errands.  Perhaps a warm bath would bring some relief.  I know Cookie is in tune to you and your needs.  They are so remarkable.

Glad you have your dog to help you get thru the pain, remember your going thru NML's

and you don't want have to start all over again on day 1. We wil do this. Besides the smoking won't help the pain.

Tomorrow Might Be Yours

I've only been in that kind of pain a couple of times - with my neck.  It's constant.  So I have a glimpse of what you're going through.  It affects every waking moment of your life.  And there seems to be no escape.  Smoking, of course, would not alleviate it.  Keep seeking remedies.  But also know that sometimes the body will eventually heal itself.  It IS after all a self-healing God creation.   Just to throw out an example:  I've had a tooth that I couldn't chew on for over a year it was so painful (hot/cold/pressure).  Dental checks didn't reveal anything in xray.  Suggestion was a hairline crack that couldn't be seen.  Whatever it was,  I couldn't eat on the left side of my mouth.  So I didn't.  One day a couple of months ago I realized I could.  That it no longer hurt.  I'm not yet totally convinced that my body healed itself, and I'm trying now to retrain myself to chew on that side.  My point is - don't lose faith.
