What Is Sum1 Up To Today?

Miserable Yesterday

Miserable Yesterday

         When it comes to being pain, yesterday was a bad day.  As you might guess, it was Sciatica, the nerve in my left leg being the culprit.  On a scale of 1-10, it was a 12.  Oh wait, yesterday it was an 8, it was during Thursday night that it was a 12.  I haven't slept in our bed for 3 days now.  I know my  tossing and turning to find a position I could relax in would keep her awake.  Plus, I never found it.  My Fit-Bit said I didn't sleep at all that night, it wasn't the fault of the Love Seat either.  I did crawl in bed with Kathy about 6 or 7 am, and grabbed two hours of sleep.  Of course it wasn't near enough.

         Thursday night's pain was in my left hip joint, left knee, and the front of my left calf.  I tossed and turned Wednesday night before resigning myself to the Love Seat.  For those wondering, we don't have a couch, only a Love Seat and matching chair.  The last two nights I've just gone to the Love Seat first thing.  I did manage to grab about 5 hours of sleep last night.  Also, I called the Neuro-Surgeon's office yesterday, they have sent a request for Physical Rehabilitation.  I was told none was needed after the surgery.  Man, were they wrong about that!

         I wonder if maybe I do a bit too much the days that I take Dexamethasone.  It's part of the regimen for the Multiple Myeloma.  Since it takes all the aches and pains away, perhaps I strain something, I don't know.  I think it's a possibility.  I'm a bit better today, but it is early after all.
