Well, the increased doses of all the meds combined have mostly brought my pain level down to a 6. That's better than a 7-8. It's amazing how much more I can do with a 6 than I could with the higher level.
Wait...let me quantify that...how much more I can do...when I'm awake.
I sleep away most of the day now and then I'm up at least half the night. It makes for an interesting schedule. Even if I do get to bed I wake up after a couple hours and then I'm done till the next time I get tired enough to go to bed. It's a killer on our romantic life, if nothing else...
I see the new doc in just under 3 weeks. I hope things work out with her. I'd like to get the pain back down to a 5 so I can at least keep the house clean without feeling like I've just run a marathon...and I'd like to care if my house is clean.
Maybe then I could even exercise a bit. That would be nice, for sure.

I've been here on earth for just over half a century. For the last several years, I've had a chronic pain condition as my constant companion. I've learned to value each and every day simply because it is there; to love and appreciate my family and friends; to enjoy life and love no matter the restrictions on my time or activity; and, most importantly, to love and worship God in any way I can regardless of my limitations.

The older I get, the more I lean on God. He is my all in all and from Him I get the strength to go on from day to day. Currently He has allowed me to be afflicted with a nerve-based disability that has taken me out of the mainstream workplace and changed the way I live my life; in this, I see more and more how dependent I am on Him for every moment of every day. Without Him, I am nothing. With Him, I can do all things.

"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will release you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and all the places to which I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I caused you to be carried away captive." Jeremiah 29:11-14, Amplified Bible
