Hey guys, just asking for some thoughts and prayers. I have my second MRI in as many years tomorrow night at 6pm. It finally got approved, and it comes at a good time as my pain levels have been horrible lately.
I FEEL myself talking myself into asking my pain doc to start the oxy again for some relief, especially on the really bad days. However, I KNOW that what I am going to tell him is to finally put me on the narcotic "ban" list. My primary care doctor already has me on that list for him.
Back to the "feeling," it's the whole "justifying" using for "quality of life." My oldest kid is 6, and my youngest (of 4) is about to be born in July. I hate what the pain does to my mind and motivation, and so the easiest rationalization is getting relief "for them."
Lies, lies, lies, right? I would appreciate your wisdom and affirmation as you have come through so many times in the past. Like we've all been - I'm sick of being sick. Hoping this MRI leads to something... something designed by the Divine would be nice :)
I love you all, and am thankful for you. It's like a cyber-cafe of empathetic love, wisdom, and most of all, non-judgmental grace. Got a long work week ahead, so I'll be checking in when I can, and more so on the weekend.
in Him,
David
