So yesterday I saw my Primary (General Practice) Doctor. I discussed numerous issues.

I asked for a blood work up so that I may test my liver and kidneys because of all my medications. He said ok.

I asked for an EKG because my chest area clenches at times. He said ok.

I informed him that my shoulder is having issues and cannot be raised above my head. He prescribed Physical Therapy (thought I was going to say medication huh? - I am glad he didn't)

I told him that my hip hurts and it is probably because I limp too much and am just all out of whack. He gave my hip a shot of cortisone. It felt amazing the remainder of the day.

Overall, I would have to say that it was a GREAT day.

I even got a little nooky from hubby. It had been over a month and we missed each other. For the rest of the evening, we felt giddy and flirtatious. So nice, So nice. LOL

However, today my leg is all on fire. The stimulator helps only so much. My knee is hurting. My hip is back to hurting. I am in bed. I need to rest cause my son has a Cake and Cap night for baseball tonight, and I AM GOING, cane and all. Now where did I put that cane???

On another note: the sun outside is warm and inviting - I think I will take 5 minutes and bask in its glory. Natural occurring vitamin D baby - the only way to go LOL - I am kidding of course.

Even with the pain and discomfort that my body causes itself, I have renewed hope. I have the fight still in me. I thought I lost that fight. I felt as though it was dwindling fast. I didn't think I still had enough in me to make me want to try harder. I still have to go slow though. That in itself is depressing. But I will NOT let it get me down.

Tomorrow I see my pain management doctor. I get programmed and will, hopefully, be able to have stimulation directly onto my knee, so that I may turn it up HIGH in moments like these, and still function.

So pain free air hugs to everyone who wants one.

ps. I don't think I posted on Monday, so that might be why I am offering two posts today.
