re: #27 Justanotherhuman

There is no Satan. I’m with Mom Anon—hit the Phelps Klan in the wallet. All they do is sue, sue, sue and they’ve never lost a First Amendment lawsuit as far as I’ve heard.

Meanwhile, had a bit of a scare yesterday when I got up from the chair and couldn’t use my right leg—it just collapsed on me. It had sort of been bothering me for a few days, but I rack up a lot to just getting older. Had to crawl 12 ft to the couch; my grandson came home from a job not too long after and took me to the ER. Turns out (without any tests, just a cursory exam) that it’s a “pinched nerve”, otherwise known as sciatica. The worst part is that I was given Tramadol (which I’d never heard of but was told it’s the same as Advil) after I told him no opiates. From what I read since, it’s a synthetic morphine and I took 100 mg last night and have been sick all day, even throwing up. We picked up the full Rx of that and prednisone last night (which I hate, also) and I’m not taking either one. I’ll just depend on the heating pad which I used last night but I’ve been sleep deprived now for almost 24 hours, so of course, after all this I’m in a funk. Why do they want to dope people up so much? I think, in retrospect, it’s overkill. I can stand a lot of pain, but once the initial severe onslaught was over, it’s become tolerable.

What else is new? : )

try to get PT to learn the exercises to prevent it from happening again.
