I know I said in my other thread that my back pain wasn’t that bad but I was wrong. It has skipped up a few notches and is now immensely painful. Tylenol with codeine is not cutting it. I refuse to take a stronger opiate. I refuse to become addicted or even dependent on opiates. I don’t need to add opiate withdrawal to my list of problems in the future. So it looks like surgery is going to have to happen sooner rather than later. I’m so scared, not to mention puzzled as to what I’m going to do with my son.

Ugh.
