May I have some chees with this whine..........little long

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone: Well, this is what I get. I think I had this false sense

of being cured. Even tho my brain knew better, my heart was saying, I

feel great! I only had one Chiari HA since my TC surgery. No more

pain for me......la la la la la.......

My wake up call came this past Tuesday. I woke up and a few hours

later it started in my neck. It just felt like a " crick " like I slept

wrong. If that was the case, it would have started as soon as I got

out of bed, not 2 hours later. By the end of the day, it was

spreading. My old friend uh,er, enemy, chiari neck and back pain has

come for a visit and decided to STAY. It spread down my back, under

my arm and into my clavicle. I have not felt this paim in a while and

I forgot it. It wanted to remind me. " hello,here I am Wendi, I am with

you, I was born with you and I am here to stay. You can treat me,You

can mask me,but you can't make me leave, ha ha! " " I will hide for a

while and just when you think you are well, I'M BACK! "

Now, Sally and , do not yell at me. My house is still dirty and

I have done nothing physical. I mean it! There is no reason for me to

be in pain. Yes there is. I have a chronic illness. I have to face it

and move on. This is the hand I have been dealt. Of course I have 1

face card and that is my sense of humor, hope it does not offend

anyone as this is how I deal with this crap.

I am a little P'o'd at myself as I think I was one of those, thinking

I was all better. Of course, it has only been a little over 2 months

and I need to give it a year as Dr B said. I felt so good! I think

that is what makes this feel so bad.

I wanted to whine, I did, I'm done. I hope all of you are as well as

can be expected. I am going to be more realistic. I will be happy for

the pain free time when I get it.

Peace!
