Michelle, I think I'm going to call the doc in the morning. I have tomorrow off work thank goodness and maybe he can squeeze me in. I have to work Thursday again so need to be okay. Thanks for thinking of me, I really appreciate it.
Terry, wow, what a great continuation, good job!! Thank you soooo much for making the effort.
Ren, Thanks for the extra wish for a peaceful sleep. I think I'm going to try the couch instead of the bed and see if I can find some way to get comfy without jerking.
Terry: Excellent continuation of the story!
Moki, Lu and Terry: Sending wishes for an end to the pain.
Moki: an extra wish for peaceful sleep!!
Hugs,
Ren
Lu, I had a similar run in. I squatted to lay a log on the fire and fell backwards into the woodpile and out into the floor. I laughed so my family would not be so afraid.
Truth is I bruised the underside on my right arm. It was a yucky shade of purple and green.
I was extremely grateful I fell backward instead of forward....ouch! I haven't placed on log on the fire since. Just good common since...you don't have to hit me twice with the same pan before I get the drift.
take care and no more fighting with logs....they always win.
live well,
terry
The MonSter was a truley beguiling creature, known to promise wonders that would blind the eye.
The beautiful young girl, though, being the kind sweet and trusting person she was took the MonSters hand. Instantly the wonders began to unfold. She knew she was about to behold a wondrous sight because her fingers and her feet began to tingle. They felt both hot and cold, a truly wondrous feeling.
She turned to the MonSter and smiled. She told him how she felt, how she was experiencing both cold and hot at the same time. The MonSter smiled and said, "Little one, how confused you are. What you feel is all in your head. Created by your own expectations." The smile he returned was not one of comfort but one the led the little girl to believe, he was not being entirely truthful.
Then he once again raised his head and held out his hand.....
sleep well moki :0)

Moki,
I am sorry you are in so much pain. Those jerks sound awful! I am taking xanaflex for spasms, which was helping tremendously. At the moment it is not doing what it was, but Baclofen did nothing for me.
I would call your doc and see if there is anything they can recommend to help you. Not sleeping always makes me so much worse, physically and mentally. Maybe a sleeping pill would help?
I dont have much to add, but just wanted you to know I am thinking of you and really hope you feel better soon,
Big hugs to you,
Michelle
Ladies, you are sweet. I tried going to bed but it ain't happening yet. As soon as I lay down, within minutes the head jerking started. Sheesh, I know I can be a jerk sometimes but really!! So I guess I'll sit here for a while and try again in couple of hours. If only I could sleep sitting straight up with nothing supporting me I'd be okay. I'm sooooo tired, you'd think I'd just fall asleep anyways but between the pain and the head snaps it seems it may be a long night.
Quix, I'm loving the story but I'm hanging here!!! lol
Lulu, you did quite a number on yourself. I thought you were kidding with the sprained tooth but I guess there is a first for everything. Hope you can eat pain free soon again. So I guess the moral of the story is wear a face mask when getting firewood?lol
