AGONY ... AGAIN!

10:37 PM 11/10/2006

    I've just put off ... procrastinated ... & I promise myself that I WILL keep this up.

    Right now, I am again in agony ...  I did not do much physically today ... maybe this is because I had to do a lot of moving things around YESTERDAY?

     WHO EVER KNOWS?  It could be tension from not being able to get things done, like getting ready for winter by covering, moving, etc.  things outside.  I have some "must do projects" for myself & others.  It's just not possible.  I wake up at night ... cannot sleep for thinking of what I have not gotten done. Then, when I do force myself to keep on past the point of comfort (like now), I pay for it for the next several days.
    I have been going to Physical Therapy twice a week lately.  The doctor at the Pain Clinic who gives me my periodic steroid injections into my back keeps asking me if I have been going to PT, so I had him give me the required prescription so that I can.
    Often, in PT, I am in misery; I tell them so.  This doesn't cut any ice ... even when I stagger out, in obvious pain.
    I told my Chiropractor about this, telling him that I feel BETTER after my appointment with him!

Wearing Off???

3:39 AM 8/29/2006

     Just using the demise of my laptop as an excuse for making no entries ... plus being bogged down with various other computer projects for myself & others.
     My Social Security does not amount to much; most of the over the counter aids for pains in my back, etc.  ... are not in my budget anymore ... neither are they covered by my  medical card.  My food stamps don't even cover them, not even vitamins.
     MSM, & compounds of, was something that I was sure was very effective.  Even my  favorite liniments have been replaced by bargain ones at the Dollar Store.  When my back is really bad, a few drinks (of gin) will relax me enough to get rid of most of the bad pain... but, I haven't been even getting that.
     I WAS EXTRAVEGANT; I BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF GIN.  My back was so sore that I was considering calling the chiropractor for an emergency session ... some gin ... now, my back is relaxed enough that I hope to be able to get back to sleep.

     It seems as tho I can feel when my injections are wearing off ... I definately am having miseries with my mid-back now ...

    I haven't done much physical work lately; for the past few days, I have been so miserable.
    I take sofa breaks, lots of aspirin, some liniment ... & just now, after the fourth gin drink ... I feel slight relief.  I MUST get some sleep.
