now...lets celebrate the good news....sending sunshine your way....and of course

the happiest thougths your way....janine p.s. so, what exactly did he say was

the issue????

Hello Janine,

Thank you for the email reply.

The neurologist I saw yesterday basically said that the main issue for me was to

try to walk as much as I can. My pain management doc wants me to take more pain

medication and walk and try not to use the wheelchair unless I absolutely have

to. The neurologist conferred with him.

I slept more last night than I have probably in years. I made an affirmation and

a decision that I was going to start going to bed when my wife did, which is

usually around 10 pm. I used to stay up until 4 or 5 am and sleep until 8 or 9

am. I slept a total of 10 hours yesterday. Of course when I woke up my back was

killing me. Subconsciously I think that is why I usually would sleep only 4-6

hours a night because if I lay down any longer the pain is almost intolerable

when I wake up. It's not the bed. We have a ultra plush pillow top bed and it is

wonderfully comfortable. I fell asleep last night in bed watching the Yankees

get beat and slept for two hours. When I woke up I took my Oxycontin and my pm

meds. I then slept another 8 hours. I don't know what else I can do to keep from

hurting so bad when I wake up. I have tried sleeping on the heating pad, but I

am afraid that I will get burned. My heating pad turns itself off after a little

while anyway. Arrgh. I guess it is either sleep and hurt or don't sleep and feel

like hammered you know what for the rest of the day. LOL.

I go to physical therapy today. My neck has been killing me lately and physical

therapy really helps. I am getting a new person today, so I hope her hands are

as strong as the fella who usually works on me, but I doubt it. Maybe I should

find out if she is a republican or a democrat and get her riled up about the

election. That may put a little more umph into my neck massage from her. Grin.

Wishing everyone a painless day,

Have you tried a heated mattress pad or an electric blanket? I really enjoy

our electric blanket especially on the extra bad days. I can also turn to

furnace down lower at night since I cranking up the electric blanket is

cheaper than the furnace.

I am so glad you went to a different neurologist. You must be profoundly

relieved.

Hello Kaylene,

That is an excellent idea. I never thought of that. I am sure our five cats

won't mind it a bit either.

Heating pads, newspapers and heating blankets are cat magnets. LOL.

Pain free blessings,

Hi

You are quite welcome. Now if you could just place those 5 cats

strategically around the areas of your body that hurt they will certainly

keep you more than warm. haha

Kaylene

PS We have 1 cat and 2 dogs and if they had their way we would all sleep

together each night.
