Well, I'm doing OK, but not really regarding my health. I saw the sports/ pain management doctor regarding the arthritis. I have it in my spine pretty bad, my rheumatologist wasn't really telling me the whole truth. Bad enough now that it is I'm sure what caused the strained tendon about a month ago, the spine is that damaged it can cause cramping and muscle aching, etc. I doubt I will be able to do my labor job much longer and will have to stop working. I can't do it anymore it has gotten that bad. I almost went to the ER, no pain shots in my back (cortisone) till Monday and I can't take any anti-inflammatories until after that. I have pain pills and they aren't working much and I'm having back spasms for over two days straight now and trouble walking. I'm sitting in a comfortable computer chair and that is difficult enough as it is now. I MUST move somewhere warm whether I like it or not to limit the progression of this as soon as possible. It probably should be somewhere dry too. It is another reason to get my weight under control and get as thin as I can to 195 at least. I have cut the calories well recently with success and not just low carbing it right now so it is quicker to lose than just low carb counting it seems but a bit tougher as I am hungry at times. Fortunately, the weather is supposed to be around 90* the next four days or so. I have tons of laundry to do - don't know how it will get done, hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to lift the large basket to take upstairs and back OK. Cleaning now is a b*tch. At this point things can only get better it seems... Please those of you who are religious pray for me, I will have my aunt and her nun friends do so, and I will try to get to church somehow weekly, I can't walk at this point or bike there and it isn't even over a mile away... I see it now as not something I can avoid as my long-term health is in question and I'm only 48 and I was a nurse so I know arthritis complications can be fatal if they progress long enough...
