We have had some beautiful weather this month and for the first two weeks I was able to get out and enjoy it. I still don't have my power chair, which would make it easier to get around and even go down to the boardwalk. The compression stockings that I purchased last month are doing a really good job and the swelling is down a lot in both legs. The skin rash and inflammation isn't getting any better though.
The past four days have been quite bad. I have been little more than a vegetable because of the pain. Right now, the pain medication is working fairly well but I won't be able to sit here much longer. I have just been drifting in and out from the medication. Sometimes I start to wake up and the very first thing that I am aware of is pain screaming from my hands, hips, legs etc. I have to force myself to get up to a sitting position and then I reach for my pain pills and pray they work quickly. It may take hours before I can move about easily and this often means cancelling plans. I hope I can get out today but the way I feel at this moment that just doesn't seem likely. I need to take some pain pills and maybe an anxiety pill because it's getting hard to accept that I may be stuck inside again today. It looks quite cloudy out so maybe I'm not missing anything?
I just can't type any longer. I really pray that some one will notice my blog and - maybe - post some encouraging comments for me. In any case, that's all I can write today.
