It's been a tough few days, hence my lack of writing. I've been having difficulties getting prescriptions refilled, one in particular that helps the most with the pain. While it was called in on Thursday, the pharmacy put a hold on it stating they needed additional information from the physician because they are out of state. The pharmacy of course says it called the surgeon's office and left a message, but unfortunately this seems to be a habit with them over the last several months - blaming someone else. So for the last several days I've been suffering as I have minimal pain medication left, and have been trying to stretch it out until Monday. The leg pain is the worst, and most of the time unbearable. I'll be glad when I have my medications in hand again. I hate taking the darn things, but the pain is too severe at this point to function without it.
This all comes at a bad time, as I'm trying to put in a full time-plus schedule with work from home, and it's draining. So I'm trying to muddle through as best I can, trying to accomplish as much as I can while ignoring the total discomfort I'm in...or at least attempting to ignore the pain, as I don't believe I've been too successful lately.
On the plus side, I'm now able to drive a car on my own, and have been getting out more. Last night we went to Lowes and Home Depot to walk around. I didn't feel like it, but it's good for my healing back to make sure I keep a certain level of activity. Regarding my back, the pain is very minimal and I'm still shocked at how much mobility I have considering I had a fusion. All of my issues surround my legs at this point, and my right arm as my carpal tunnel pain has also come back full force, likely due to all of the time I'm spending on my laptop.
This afternoon I'm working away on my laptop again while listening to movies play in the background. We have free HBO and Cinemax this weekend, and there's been some good stuff on I've been wanting to see. Currently watching "The Darjeeling Limited." I'm 15 minutes into it, and so far I'm not impressed; hopefully it gets better from here!
