I had my steroid injections in my back today. Boy were they lying when they said it wouldn’t hurt! When they touched the nerve it was shooting electrical pains down my legs. NOT pleasant. But I made it through. Dr says I should feel the effects in 7-10 days. I see him again aug 31 to see if the injections worked. If not it’s surgery. **** that. I’m not having surgery anytime soon. Surgery terrifies me plus who would care for my son? Plus, I’m just starting a new job (hopefully). So I’ll just have to deal with the pain for awhile. But hopefully the steroid injections will work.

He only approved me to lift up to 20lbs though so we will have to see what my job says about that. I hope they still hire me. The PA said they would but I’m just not sure. I’m happy I don’t have to lift 50lbs though. I really wasn’t sure I could do it. Now I just have to walk for six x minutes and run for two. I dunno about the running either. I wish I spent my summer in the gym instead of sleeping every day. My body’s like mush. Oh well too late now.

Hoping to go to sleep early tonight but I’m very hot so I’m not sure how comfortable I’ll be to sleep. The ACs on but it doesn’t reach my room very well. I have a fan pointed directly on me too. So we will see.

Hugs to all that need them
