"...and dreamed of all the different ways i had to make her glow."
I woke this morning, still half-inside of a beautiful dream world. Images of familiar faces and dancing, glittered bodies - fluttering at the edges of my consciousness. You were there - and you, and you. Stretching cat-like then curling into myself, orange blanket up to my chin - I remember this, a brief moment of near-consciousness - then my ( Read more... )
ever since then, if i overdo it with that arm or hold heavy things in it for too long, it's REALLY weak.
i then told her about my sleeping circumstances and she said she thinks that it was too far for something that was already weakened. the good thing is, my bff's [whose house i was at when i injured myself via sleeping there] father is a physical therapy assistant so he's going to try to hook me up with whatever i need. she also wants me to do some for my ankle which i keep re-injuring.
my mother ended up having the same patches you were talking about. the store kind and the prescription kind. i tried them, but it didn't seem to help.
the doctor gave me celebrex for the 1st 6 days and then switch to the prescription amt of aleve, both for anti-inflam. then the same dose of skelaxin, 3x a day, 10 mg of flexeril and a tab of hydrocodone both at bed.
the hydrocodone didn't do much more than take the edge off a bit. i think the celebrex is what helped most.. i was feeling good for awhile but it still gets a little twinge-y here and there if i'm having too busy of a day. i've never rested so much in my life.. you'd think i'd be more.. well.. well-rested! :P i have like a teaspoon in an ocean's idea of what you have to go through.. just not knowing what's going to do you in for the day.. or longer!
kinda a crap day.. when you get a chance, see my latest entry? i lost my phone and i think someone took it.. so i need some info. it'll be there for ya when you get a chance :)
i feel like this is a lot for an lj comment [as per you saying you didn't want to get all into this sorta thing last time.. but i think it was maybe a different kinda thing], but feel free to screen, if you'd like.

that one time, i was slightly confused about what you were asking anyways, and what i said i didn't want to talk about via livejournal was regarding super-specific medical stuff. which i think we're clear about now, yeah?! i'll let you know if something is an issue, of course; but in general - yes please & as always - feel free to ramble/ask/share. i love your long posts, in general - and of i course want to hear (and help, when possible) when you're dealing with something body/health/heart/all-three-related.
**even if ultimately, it's always best to talk in-depth & via phone/in-person, when giving real medical advice/opinions, don't feel the need to censor yourself here! at any rate, i'm pretty sure you know what is/isn't "appropriate" when it comes to certain kinds of personal/medical things.
and beyond that, more importantly, i'm glad to hear you're really coping & facing all of this head-on. this is brief right now, so i apologize if it seems cliche: but the earlier you deal with these hard things, the better; the more hope that they'll pass. it can be hard - takes bravery - and i'm proud of you & wishing i could hold your hand in waiting-rooms!
sorry that this may seemed rushed; i can't stay online any longer just this second, but i really wanted to:
*reassure you that All's Good regarding your post
&
*kiss your flushed-rushed-tired cheeks, and send my love in lots of shimmery, determined, hope-glittered waves!
xxx,
r.
