Hi Team, This morning I woke up so sick and tired of being in pain when I wake up. Just once I'd like to wake up and be able to move my neck without the assistance of my hands, and be able to get coffee without limping, and be able to pee without feeling like I'm 98yrs old when I try to lower myself to the john. I'm stuck w/out NSAIDS forever now, and after a couple of pain days taking narcotic pain meds I feel sick to my stomach in the morning. I hate taking those stupid things, because they make me constipated and then when I con't need them I get shakey. And as an added bonus, since the death of my daughter when I take the narcotic pain meds they make me cry. I want to be able to drive again, but that doesn't look likely. And even though it looks like I'll be offered a 1/2 time job at the library next week, I'm not entirely sure if I can do the job as using my hands for 4 hours at a stretch might not be an option any more. Phew! Now that I've got that off my chest, I'll get up and go about my day. Thanks for listening.
