Day 9 - Against All Odds.

Well, back to the doctor I go! - Due to my injury, and overwhelmingy pain yesterday, they took me out of work because my body has became extremly overwhelmed to almost the point of shock...9 Days, and it is not the w/d's at all...it's my body can't handle this much pain all at once, an so now I go see the doc at 2pm to find out what to do about dealing with pain management.

I have no other option. I have finally got offered a way better job, with all medical benifits yesterday, and they are waiting for me to put my 2 weeks in at my present job. Funny things is, I thought I would never get this job, with the drug screen, background checks etc....but everything cleared and I got the call yesterday "Good to Go!"

Aint that Daisy? - 2 weeks to find out how to get my body to function, and yet not fall back into the 9-12 hydros a day...which was more than I ever needed for pain.

Guess, well just have to see...right now I cant even move or think the pain is so bad. So if I have to back up, and go back to my original 3-4 a day, until I get insurance...will I will let God decide the outcome, and that is what I will take.

Hope everyone is well, and just wanted to say I missed you all yesterday, being in a state beyond hell.

God Bless!
Love,
Todd

So sorry to hear about all the pain you have been in I will keep you in my Prayers do what you need to to keep the pain at bay the doc might have different meds he can give you my husband had two rotor surgerys this last ear they gave him injections in the site of the pain that caused the area to numb and cortisone injections maybe someting like that would help idk but hopefully if you do take any thing you can take up responsily I was taking hydro for my carrpel tunnel but i didnt need 20 or 30 pills a day! trust in God he will get you through this
God Bless and Much Love and Understanding,

The good thing about Duragesic was it was really hard to abuse.. I found pain relief good but past 50mcg/h was just making me a stupor,, If you tried a low dose of Duragesic and DO NOT abuse it. You can come off it even after long term use. I guess what I am saying it would keep you from throwing pills all day. I have a very bad hip and I had rather live with the pain. I just got sick of that patch...Just trying to give you an option should you need to discuss with your doctor...
