Hi again, Beth. I just booted this up as I'm hoping that my computer guy will be able to access it from the office and let me know what's happening with it. I must send him another e-mail when I finish here as it now won't let me move on different sites that I want to get on. Joanne's is having a great deal today on shipping, and I get the sulky thread that I use for embroidery from there at times, but the sale isn't that terrific. It took me a while to access the site though. Oh well, this is life.
I plan on spending at least 1 hour a day going through my photos each day and get them organized so that when I get my lap top, I can just move them there and delete them from this computer. After doing that, I'll put them back in. Long process, but it's the only way I know to do it. As I said, I'm not that great at the computer, but for my age, 74, don't do half bad. I just have to have things running correctly. It bugs me when they don't. Well, when I woke up this morning the pain in my back wasn't bad, but after checking my sugar and dealing with it being down to 60 (which is to low), I started getting the pain. I have heat on it now, but if that doesn't take care of the problem, I'll have to use a pain patch. I try to avoid using to much for pain as I may really need it in the future. I think that I told you that my son (my helper) is suffering from sciatica and it's really bad. Since it wasn't work related (he was helping out a friend), he has to deal with it the best way he can. I can understand the pain as I've had it before. Mine went away on it's own, but his isn't going anywhere. I'm wondering if a chiropractor might be the answer. I have talked to him about seeing one, but he's out of work right now, so no insurance, etc. I offered to take care of it, but he doesn't want me to do that. He's so good to me, and I want to help him. I sure hope that your surgery will help you. I see my family doctor on Tuesday, and I'm going to insist on having some tests run. I can't have an MRI because I have a pacemaker so perhaps some other tests will show the problem. I really don't look forward to more tests (I'm sure you understand that), but can't deal with this pain either. You are right.....it could be referred pain. I use to go to pain management, and may have to start going again. At that time the injections had stopped working for me, and all they were doing is giving me pain killers and my regular doctor can handle that. I will talk to her about it on Tues. I hate dealing with another doctor. Seems like my life, and I'm sure yours too, radiates around our doctors and medications. This is why I do my quilting, embroidery, etc. It does take me somewhere else....and I need that. I have people tell me that they'd rather be dead then deal with the pain, etc., but they haven't a clue and am sure that if they were dealing with the things that we are, they'd feel different. I do appreciate your prayers, hugs, etc. It helps so much to know that we are all fighting the same fight. We just have different issues and it works on our bodies in different ways. I believe that the muscle and bone problems that many of us suffer from is related to the medication that we've had to take. I know that my Arthritis, Polymiagia, etc. has got worse since being on it. I fight my way through the pain most days and will continue to do so. I know that we all have one another's backs. You stay strong too. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and also send many hugs your way. I know that they help. When my grown son, hugs me, it really makes my day. He truly was God sent.... I'll talk to you soon. Hope that your day is pain free.
