Pain!

Pain is nothing to thumb your nose at especially for me right now.Last month we had an uncommon thing happen in my neck of the woods of Oklahoma, it snowed.It wasn't our typical type of snow but actual soft fluffy snow that you could eat right off the ground!Six inches of snow fell and it was somewhat a pain in the past snow usually turns into ice and which in turn is a common snow storm for us.Anyways the snow stopped and started melting over the next couple of days and finally turned to ice, and making things a hair slippery for everyone.

I know this because I managed to find some in front of my vehicle at six in the morning as I was clearing off the six inches of snow that had turned to ice on my windshield.It was to bad to do it came off fairly easy it wasn't solid ice but more of a crunchy kind of ice.I had just cleared the passenger side off and was walking around the front of my truck and found my new arch nemesis ICE PATCH.I stepped on my nemesis unaware he was there waiting for me, seeing as I was in a hurry to get in and get warm in my truck.I guess I should have at least acknowledged him because I slipped and fell flat on my back.

Imagine a turtle laying on its back trying get on its feet, well I sorta looked like that.But I laid there for about 5 to 10 minutes trying to figure out if I broke anything other than my nemesis when I fell.I managed to goto work and go straight to a walk in clinic after about an hour of trying to work in pain.I was off for a week with muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medication.After that week of rest I felt all right and continued to follow the Drs orders about taking the meds for pain management to they were gone.After a couple of weeks of having no meds, I started to hurt again.I shrugged it off thinking it will go away in time and rest on the weekends..........WRONG!!!!!!!!!

Last week I woke up in pain again but this time it hurt worse than ever, the pain was radiating  from my right hip down my knee and into my groin area.I thought I must have slept wrong and attempted to go to work.I barely went down the road and had to turn around and come home.My wife was a little concerned because I had tears running down my face.I called in to work and went straight to bed.I laid there waiting in pain for my Dr's office to open so I could schedule a appointment with him asap.Well I went to it only to wind up laying down on the examantation table on my left side waiting for him to come in and give me an answer for the pain.He put me off work for another week and scheduled an MRI for the following week.

Now once again I'm off because I have two herniated  disc in my back L4 and L5, and have to go see a damn neurosurgeon for my pain next month.To tell the truth I'm scared shitless about and afraid of the the overall out come.It depresses me to be off and be stuck at home, it feels like I've been off for a month.This shit sucks!
