I am just exiting the latest pain flare. My PT and T both remarked how well I'm handling them of late. I have refused to try to "put up with" the increased pain, and rather than tough it out, I humble myself and go to the ER for a anti-inflamatory shot.

This latest flare began to develop Tuesday evening... and I did two physical things Wednesday to exacerbate it (squatted down to show housekeeper how to remove the head of the vacuum, picked up a light bin of recycles and dropped it over the gate outside) ... and by Thursday 2 am I was in ER waiting for the shot. It helped me get some sleep, and to my PT and T the next day. This weekend, though I have an enourmous list of things that need to be done... I won't. (Because I really can't.) This includes taking care of the washer which quit drawing water after the housekeeper used it (for some reason.) And that goes towards the top of the list now too

Well, that's enough about me, thanks for caring to read!
