I’m not happy.\u00a0 I thought I was done with having tremendous pain.\u00a0 Here it is, about 2 in the afternoon.\u00a0 I’ve taken my oral Baclofen and Lortab and I can feel them start to work.\u00a0 Pain level is about 6.<\/p>\n
I started having small spasms in my forearms, calves and abdominal wall yesterday afternoon.\u00a0 As the evening progressed, they spread throughout my person, but not my face. I am thankful they didn’t spread to my face.\u00a0 Of all the places to have muscle twitching, the face is the worse.\u00a0 You feel like a fish with a hook in its mouth.\u00a0 The spasms were not severe enough to cause pain in and off themselves, but about 7:30 pm, I was done and had to go lay down for the night.<\/p>\n
I thought I was over it this morning, until I took a shower.\u00a0 I was standing in the shower and realized my legs were jelly.\u00a0 I didn’t get the shower-chair, but I was glad when I was toweling off.<\/p>\n
I made it out to a friend’s home, and had to leave after about 45 minutes.\u00a0 I believe she knew I wasn’t doing so well.\u00a0 My face gives me away.\u00a0 The pain makes me look angry.\u00a0 I grimace, and my voice changes.<\/p>\n
I made it home and relaxed a few minutes.\u00a0 Fixed me lunch, and took a Baclofen.\u00a0 An hour and a half later, the Lortab, as the pain continued to increase.<\/p>\n
I am frustrated with myself.\u00a0 Every time I feel like I am developing some independence, my body reminds me why I have\u00a0 a special license plate.<\/p>\n
I was a world traveler.\u00a0 Now, I can’t make it across town without paying a price.\u00a0 I just turned 49. I know I should focus on things that I can do and not what I can’t.\u00a0 The list of “cans” have become severely limited and inconsistent.<\/p>\n
Will I ever be able to enjoy Jackson Square again? On a good day, filling a medium grocery list destroys me.<\/p>\n
I will be fine.\u00a0 I will stay positive and strong.\u00a0 I just wish my wife wouldn’t have to open the NyQuil bottle for me.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading and God Bless us all,<\/p>\n
