Thanks Marty, I rinsed the needle because when I would

aspirate the air out of syringe some of the IF would

get on the needle and then it would burn going in and

then inside muscle also.

I have always wondered about your ISP. There is a

town called Seminole in FL where I was born and raised

(Pinellas County) and also Seminole Indians. Also I

like your name byteme...I say bite me instead of shut

up.......smile...Connie

when not under the influence of the pain management injections, I am always in pain. It wakes me up at night.

When I got on my air mattress in the pool and it hurt, that's when I realized that things were getting bad.

I come home from work and get in bed, and it frequently hurts worse than it did while I was at work (but I think I am just better at ignoring the pain while at work).

And yes, I can't imagine continuing to live like this. Especially since the women in my family usually live to at least 95. NO WAY!

Sometimes the pain is tolerable, and sometimes it isn't. On the occassions when it isn't, I reach for the heavy duty pain killers at the end of the day.

Now that we have a tempurpedic mattress, my husband has no clue how little sleep I actually get. My tossing and turning does not disturb him! (of course, since I go to bed almost as soon as I get home from work, it could be that I have had enough sleep by 2 AM)

I hope the pain shots worked this time. I am a little worried, because the doctor had me talking the whole time, and when he got to the right side, he said I should feel the pain all the way down the leg. It only went to the bottom of my butt, so he tried again till he lit up the whole leg. He had already done the left side, and that is the one that kept me awake all night last night. I did get a fairly boring novel mostly read, though. Too bad the stuff I need to read for grad school is all online--I am sure it would put me to sleep much more quickly. I printed out one week's worth of reading and it made a stack of papers over 1 foot high! (still not easy to take to bed, either)

Reminds me of the last line in an email I got yesterday

of course the world sucks. otherwise we would fall off
