Today is a down day, but I like Sundays to be that way, and watch the race. ;-)
My pain level is pretty high today mostly in my low low back and in my arms and hands. My legs are a little sore, I'm pretty sure that's mostly from my at home physical therapy exercises though. Overall I'd say pain level is about a 6 and it was a lot worse when I first woke up.
I took a long bath and that helped a little. It usually helps to be in water...it helps a lot more if i can fully immerse myself, but you do what you can.
With my lower back aching so much today I'm starting to fear that the shots are starting to wear off. The ones done in the middle of my back seem to be holding pretty well, but it seems the top and bottom are starting to ache a bit. I feel like a sissy, because I know I have endured so much more pain than this, but not being in as much pain for a spell as left me quite soft.
I have been doing a lot of work on my PT and I'm determined to keep with it. I want to live more normally. I really need to work on my eating habits though, I have been over indulging in the sweets lately. I wish I could just give up sugar completely, but I crave it so bad. If it's in the house I want to eat it all up at once. I'm the sugar monster! I can't control myself. At this rate I am undoing all my exercise work, with the terrible things I'm putting in my body. I know this, it's just easy said than done.
If only I could just slice off all my extra fat... maybe someday we'll have the technology to do such a thing with out the terrible fat sucking surgery. My aunt had that surgery and there is no way I'd ever even think it.
