2005 Story Set
| Date: April 4, 2005. My back stayed out for weeks before. I hope it gets back together soon. I cannot describe the pain - a muscle spasm on the spinal cord - you are spastic - your arms and head and upper torso twitch - everything freezes - and you have to focus on total relaxation. Now - I can move around - but getting up off the couch and out of bed are two difficult tasks. Ineresting that high-heeled slippers are OK. Last night I was tired of the pain whenever I rolled over - which, if you've been laying in bad reading and watching TV like a blob - you must do. I pulled out the second pillow. Voila - I can now roll over without it hurting. (just my neck and shoulder hurt becasue I lay on my side). I also was able to get up without that twinge from hell. (Spasm of the muscles on the spine). Now to walk carefully for a bit - and take a walk today at lunch. Or after. And start walking every day like I keep trying to do. It rained heavily last night after threatening to do so for hours. Had my head in a sling - this is why I loved Southern California. Must get on Bowflex---- or something. |
