Called her office today and earliest avail appt is in 10 days. Not too bad ; yet, seems like a long wait when on fire with pain. (It takes several weeks for the injections to build up and give relief.)

I usually pay a price for pushing like I did to hold the open house event.
I am glad we did it; really do not know how many more years my mother will be walking this Earth with us. (I think she has me beat, in all honesty!)

Thankfully, my med cocktail (new addition Abilify) is helping my mood.

I will be patient.

Love to all!

I honestly don't see how you do it. I am so sorry you're in severe pain and hope you can feel some level of comfort or feel better sooner rather than later. Ten days sounds like a lifetime. Thinking of you.
