Yes there is pain but…

yesthereispain

A sweet friend said yesterday they missed my art and my presence here on WP. After all that is going on with BB and still continues to be one trail after another…this pain in my back is unbelievable. Who knew a broken vertebrae could hurt so much? I have been looking for my art, asking myself where it went. I seem to not have all my fluffy stuff and all my happy stuff to offer. So I offer today whatever come out of this pain. It’s hard to watch someone you love suffer and be totally powerless. I’m used to running to rescue BB when she needs me but this stupid back injury keeps me laying down. I never worked so hard at resting in all my life. How silly is that statement?

    1. I broke it lifting Alex when she fell. We’ve both been having a rough time. She’s in a wheelchair and lost.mobility in her legs. I’m usually not sick or injured so it’s hard to rest for me. I have 5 more weeks thank you Erika. 💟💕

      1. Oh I see! Yes, it is hard to rest when you don’t feel like it anymore. But you know that it wouldn’t help anyone when you start too early again. So, I hope that those 5 weeks are going fast, Michelle!

      4. LOL I know what you mean I think that is what is driving Alex crazy is not being able to move and go where she wants to. Now I know how she feels for sure. 😛 Hard way to walk in another shoes. 😀

      5. Yes, that is the crucial point! Being limited in your actions is not easy to accept. But it is a matter of time and I hope so it is for Alex! 💖

    1. Well long story short….I have a compression fracture on my L3. BB fell and I ran to pick her up and I feared a pop and so did she. The ambulance people didn’t know what to think of us both on the floor.
      Her doctor has narrowed down to something in her brain he said. I’m not sure what he’d calling it. They always say so much it’s hard to take it all in. She had an EMG of her legs and he said they respond to those impulse but something in her brain is stopping the signal. Next Alex will see him and then also a PMR doctor to rehab her legs maybe I’m not really sure. The other plan is yo start IVIG infusions. We’re still waiting to hear back from his office. 😛

  8. Sometimes reality reminds us that we aren’t superhuman, even when our Friends, Family and loved ones are so used to that image of us. We have to learn to take care of ourselves or we won’t be able to help anyone else anymore and that would deprive us of our purpose in life. Take good care of yourself, I know the feeling about resting( just never learned how to do that or how to develop the patience to be a good patient.) Wishing you a rapid and full recovery 👀 ♥ * ͜ * ♥ 👀 👀 ♥ * ͜ * ♥ 👀

    1. Hi George I’ve been missing your visits. I’m working on resting now. I went back to work 1/2 days and the rest working from home so that is good. I love what you said and I know it is very true. Hugs to you George! 💕💕

      1. With new Grandson’s arrival, recovering from surgery and Sadist(Therapist) sessions, and then travelling to Memphis for First Communion and Birthday of oldest Granddaughter, it’s been a little crazy, and not looking too calm in future, but thankfully nerves in hand and wrist are functioning as needed. I’ll keep lighting candles and carrying an extinguisher with me to Confession……………… Best wishes sent from TN. Dodge the whirlwinds and Tornadoes, please…………. I have friends in Altus, OK and try to keep track of them as much as I can, sometimes they get so wrapped up, they don’t even turn on the TV for weather reports…………………………. They say I worry, but I think they don’t worry enough…………..

      3. One day years ago, my Clan and I were living in MS. Tornado warnings went off 3 times, we left 3 times. Returning after 3rd warning, the skies were clear and quiet. Suddenly our Dalmatian wouldn’t lay down and was pacing and started to howl. I went out to our porch and saw debris circling a tree about 150 ft away from our house, I yelled for all to leave NOW, dressed or not. We jumped into our van, no seat belts and raced down to state trooper station, less than 3 mins driving full on and dumped younger kids and their Mom with them. We raced back home to see 13 homes destroyed on a straight line from an EF2 that never touched the ground. Sirens came on afterwards, the tornado’s funnel had sucked up the sounds of sirens going off according to the Emergency Mgt folks. We became respecters and believers that day. Later we discovered a long scratch across the roof of our van, yep too dang close.

    1. Hi Richard I am just really tired. Pain is tiring. I realized I spend my days trying to stop it. I worked later today then I have. I still can’t sit so I’m thankful for my stand up desk. 😛

  10. I so understand being straddled with many injuiries (back and others) and illnesses…I am always in prayer, knowing healing comes from Him and He brings my heart to smile every day! I will keep you in prayer. God bless!
