Rough day

Yesterday my new pain management doctor wanted to see my range of motion in my hips. She had me lay down and she bent my right leg. OMG the pain spiked to 9. She apologized for hurting me but I said she needs to see how bad it gets.
This morning I woke up in serious pain. My lumbar feels like I got kicked. My right hip really hurts. But the X-rays showed us why my right side hurts so much. The ball socket is bone on bone. It's new since September of 2022.
Thankfully I have Pauley. She gave me a Norco and she put some CBD cream on my back. Right now pain is at 6.
My fasting BG was about 152. I need to eat something but I don't want to get off my bed. I'm craving a grilled cheese sandwich with some sweet potato red pepper soup.

Today

We just got done with today's appointment with the pain management clinic. I'm getting cortisone injections on July 11th. The doctor was very nice and helpful. Everyone here has been very accepting and called me Nox.
My doctor wanted to check my range of motion. I laid on my back and she bent my right knee up and OMG the pain was immediate, spiked to 9. Then she extended my leg up straight and I started crying cuz the pain was just so intense. She apologized but I said it's fine cuz she needs to see how bad it is. I was smart and only took one tramadol before we left.
We did x-rays of my hips and lumbar. We found out my right hip socket has narrowed so much that now it's bone on bone. I'm gonna have an MRI of my lumbar and hips next month.
It stormed really bad after my appointment so we stayed in the waiting room. Pauley had to do some remote work cuz her client lost power from the storm. She actually went in to the office instead of coming home with me. She got home by about 920pm.

My everything hurts except for the back of my head

The back of my head is still completely numb. I wonder how long it will last. My eyes are very sore from the vision problems I have. My back is very ouchy. My hips are stiff and sore. Pauley just gave me a Norco.

I'm starting to think maybe Saturday isn't Free comic book day. None of my local shops have posted about it. I'm very disappointed. I was excited to introduce my darling stupidhead Pauley to the shop. It's lots of fun.

I just remembered steroids increase BG temporarily. Usually for about a day at most. That explains why my BG went to insane levels.

I don't even know

I have been sleeping for the last 6 hours at least. Pauley woke me up twice and I got so confused. I've been so tired and I decided to catch up on my sleep since I don't have any appointments today.

I'm hoping to feel up to going to the art studio open house. It's from 1pm to 7pm. They're serving free wine and snacks. There's going to be a pizza food truck. I think it sounds really cool. I want to check out the sculpting studio. I want to do some sculpting.

My left hip really hurts. It's been bad since earlier yesterday. I'm very overdue for cortisone injections but I gotta find a hip specialist now for the injection and I'm having trouble finding one. Even my insurance website sucks for finding doctors . I need to find a pain clinic.

I don't think we're going to go to the open house... It's in 4 hours and Pauley hasn't slept yet.

Today

My caregiver slept till 2pm. She decided today she was gonna organize and clean my room. I directed her from my bed. I hadn't touched my suitcase since I got home from con in September. She unpacked it, put away my clothes, and helped me process my emotions. Now she's vacuuming.

My right side from just above my butt cheek all the way to my toes hurts like hell. The pain meds helped with my back pain and migraine but it doesn't help with my right hip. We're starting to worry cuz it's been really bad for about 3 weeks. I remember my hips popped out of joint a few weeks ago. Like really loud POP. It's been hurting since.

I have bilateral acetabular impingement, bursitis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in both hips. I've also got bone spurs in my hip joints. So I've got pretty intense pain.

It's a rough day but good things happened

Laundry got picked up at 826am. It only took 3 hours for them to wash and fold and deliver the laundry. Then we got 2 packages from Amazon. I ordered some sticky rice, ranch dressing, and a can of hearts of palm. An hour later our Instacart order was delivered. We got lots of really good stuff.

I had to cancel going to art group. My back pain only just went down to 6. It was 8 all morning. This is the 4th month of missing art group. I think I'll just not go back. I'll still go out once per month with the lady who runs the group. I need a stronger pain relief cream. I'm considering trying some pain relief tea.

Pain is exhausting

I woke up at 8am with intense sharp stabbing back pain so I took a Norco at about 830. A half hour ago I asked my caregiver what time I took the Norco and she snapped at me. I didn't know she was busy with work. So I looked at the clock and realized it had been 5 hours. I usually take one every 4 hours. No wonder I was hurting so much. So I went and got a 7.5mg Norco. When I got back to my bed I realized I had a really nasty migraine. So I took a sumatriptan and 2 Excedrin. That was 20 minutes ago. I'm starting to notice my migraine has decreased in severity. My back still hurts like hell.

I've got therapy at 3pm. My caregiver is supposed to join me but I think she's not going to. I emailed my therapist the journal prompts she and I worked on last night. I actually posted some of the answers in Self Discovery Workshop if you're interested.

My caregiver made me a jug of cold brew coffee last night. She and I discussed how making me coffee when I'm sad or having a high pain day is the trick to making me happy. She didn't realize how important coffee is to me. I'm working on a bottle of juice right now. I'm gonna mix the coffee with a protein shake.

Oof

Pain is shooting down my right leg to my knee. My back feels like it got stabbed. My hips are trashed. Maybe my caregiver will let me have the other half of the Norco now instead of having to wait till 7pm. Pain is at 7.

Is pain your “old friend “?

I have been struggling with Pain for many years. There is a saying that that Pain is an old friend ,,,but I don’t know if I would call Pain my “friend”. Friends are nice, they like to do fun things with you, they like to celebrate accomplishments and they support you when your down. Pain does none of those things! When Pain is around,,,she’s not nice at all! She doesn’t like doing fun stuff nor celebrate, and when I need support,,,she kicks me while I’m down! So yeah, I debunk that saying. What do you call your Pain?
