:))
i've been like this for a week though-
and it doesn't seem to be changing.
and it doesn't seem to be changing.
i was laid out for two days after the last PT session.
i had the worst headache of my entire life.
and i tell ya- i have had ALOT of headaches in my life.
and alot of them i have said were the worst.
but this was really the WORST.
i trembled in pain. i writhed in pain.
and i puked from the pain.
if not for hubby i am certain i would have laid there for days,
until i got the nerve to call someone for help-
prolly 911-- seein as i don't know anyone here.
it was really really bad, and i thanked hubby,
and GOD, that i had hubby to help me.
i was in bed for hours like that until he came home from work.
he immediately called the pharmacy for medicine, that i didn't have,
and they got it ready right away-- which is usually unheard of.
it was just pure hell.
i hadn't felt so hell-pless in a very long time.
and i did not like it.
yesterday i called physical therapy, and canceled the rest of my sessions.
i just can't risk feelin that bad again. they really did work me too hard for only the second time.
besides that-- three days a week? i don't even feel good three days a week. what the hell was i thinkin??? how the hell am i sposed to drive half an hour -- do that shit for an hour, and drive half an hour back-- and still expect to DO a damn thing, or feel half way decent/??
what a dumb ass. ugh. so yep-- that's over with.
hmmm.. what else?
oh-- bad chicken--
yep--
ate me some "little too old" chicken last night. :((
and paid the price this mornin.
not fun.
just so ya know.
gotta cut back on my guesstimate of how long to keep chicken in the fridge.
dammit.
good thing i was the only one who didn't get fast food last night.
figures doesn't it?
welp-- i have to go run errands , and get ready for this vacation thing.
before it changes AGAIN.
seems that pensacola isn't gonna happen.

chorpus christi
to south padre

I love the video. I'd like to know the little lady with the sharp wit. Thanks for posting it.
Sounds like we are planning our vacations while listening to the same music. We just can't get it together either.
Sometimes P-Therapy is just that or worse. Hope you don't have a repeat of that headache.
Sweets - if you don't mind my unsolicted advice, don't give up on the PT but tell those little PT critters what you can stand physically and what you can't. An hour maybe too long to start with. You don't have to just do what they tell you. Make them work for you. And with you. They've got there program sorted and ready to make eveyone fit in the same slot. You need a different aproach. Don't be afraid to bitch some to them. I SO want you to be feeling better.
XOXOBC
That video was freakin' hilarious. Thanks for the huge laugh today.
LOVE the video...HATE it that you've been down with a bitch of a headache. Brad is right about the PT. I wish I would have been more aggressive with them when I had PT and told them when they were working me too hard. If it ever happens again...be assured I will be more vocal. Feel better soon, Soul-friend. Love, Charlotte
How do you suppose the PT caused the headache? What exactly did they do to you?
I see you have changed your entire vacation plans. How did I not know about this? Did I miss something?
Isn't that girl Amy Sedaris? I think I have her funny book.
Also loved that cat pic! Hope you feel bettah poops!
Love you, Me
I'm so sorry Soul :(
How can something good for you feel so bad, dammit!?
That little lady is funny! She puts Martha in her place!! woohoo!
I'm so sorry about the head and the chicken... I am so paranoid about food that if it's not eaten within a couple days (leftovers that is) then I just chuck it. It's a bit of OTC on my part.
When I did PT for my back it only caused me pain and didn't do one iota of good. I think it's another option for docs to shove you off on because they either a)don't know what else to do or b) are too lazy to do what they know needs to be done.
Hugs friend.
Oh Soul, I am so so sorry that you're suffering so much. I just wish there's a miracle pill that will take all that pain from you. You're a brave girl to face all this pain and go through the trouble to blog and find humour to share with your readers. You're one great gal.
Sorry the headache shut you down like that. Thank goodness for soulman!
I'm a little bummed you're not coming here to Pensacola but I'm holding up. I'm googling lake amistad so I can see what I'm missing. xo xo ac
Wherever you end up on vacation Soul I hope you just leave everything behind you and just give in and relax.
I know only too well how debilitating those kinds of headaches are my friend and you have my total sympathy. Do you feel like bashing your head on the wall when they're like that? I do...and I always thought that was a strange thing to want to do...I mean doesn't it hurt enough already?...do we really need to make it worse? Pain can effect people in funny ways...not funny ha ha, just funny strange.
I'm typing this and I'm thinking to myself, I sound like I'm high on something. Just so you know I could never be that lucky.
Hope my little bit of crazy made you smile though :)
hi yall..
i don't know who that woman is-- i think she said her name tho-- she is a crack up tho--
mary--
you havin trouble planning stuff too-- it's not as easy as it would seem eh? have you got yours figured out yet?
our plans seem to change every other day around here. i guess we are pretty set now. lake amistad-- and maybe san antonio on the way back- for a day or two. it's out of the way to go that way-- but the kids would would like it. we've been there once for a few days and we liked it , so it could be nice.
as for the headache-- the severity of that one- hasn't been back-- yet-- phew. i really thought i would die. ugh.
hey brad--
the receptionist did ask if i wanted to talk to the therapist-- but there really is no way to work around this , and what they have set up for me.
even if they dropped the exercises alltogether-- and only gave me the massage- and heat etc-- i am wondering if the massage wasn't what did the damage. i know the exercise hurt some...
but as for the head-- he really rubbed on the back of my head and neck way way way too hard... it even felt bruised to the touch the next next day.
so to have them cut out or cut down on all of that-- nothing would be left-- so i just dropped the whole thing.
my head was hurting just to move it or turn it--or bend over .. before he kneaded it like a ball of dough... it had to be the the torture of pressing, pulling, and twisting on those poor muscles and trigger points etc that got that headache goin. i cant be sure-- but i can't risk it . and really-- 3 days a week, just the drive out there is a lot for me. i'm surprised i haven't been in a wreck yet-- had a few close calls.. just havent wrecked yet.
i am tryin to get hubby to buy me one of those tv things to put in the car where ya dont have to turn around to see behind you-- that's how bad it is to turn my head/neck around.
ugh.
but thanks--
i just can't do it.
not without wastin peoples time, or canceling half my appointments all the time.
it's just better this way--
at least til i talk to my neuro again.
hey angie--
isn't that great-- i couldn't resist but to put it up here.
she's so funny-- people usually pussy foot around snobby martha stuart-- this gal was a HOOT! LOL
i did too charlotte.
i just explained to brad why i didnt try to do things different with PT--
alot of peeps do regret stoppin going-- i do not. especially since a few days have passed and i am at least back to my "normal" level of pain. it had to be the PT. so i don't regret stopping.
at this point, i can alter, or re-arrange my days around my pain.. at that level of pain.. there's no altering anything-- it was debilitating, disabling, crippling. no way. no thank you.
i know you all want what's best for me-- and pt is definitely NOT what is best for me.
as little as it seems.. i spose my regimen of exercise is good enough, and as much as i can handle-- the little i do get done-- like fishin, cleaning, shopping--ha, when i do manage to go-- and that type of stuff.. but the other stuff-- nope. i don't need that type of stuff. some people aren't cut out for it.
at first i felt bad for quitting-- but i know i'm not the only one who can't handle the brutality-- so i don't feel like a quitter-- it's friggin self preservation at this point.
but-- thanks-- :))
if i thought it would help-- i'd finish it-- but it's obviously not helping. it'll kill me.
smocha--
you done showed up a bit too late with these questions-- just read my other comments i think i answered all your questions by now. :))
i like the cat pic tewwww.
have you seen the dog ones like those? for some reason the cats are better. i wish the dog ones were as good-- seein as im sick of my cats-- you sure you dont want them? :))
whats yer POD???
ps smocha--
all you missed was us spendin our money-- on unexpected crap-- like preparing the boat to not get pulled over on the road-- fall off the trailer on the road-- or break down or sink on the lake-- and ooodles of meds and docs-- and a child who needs something everytime i exhale. :((
UGH.
sooo we have to stay closer to home. cut the vacation cost in half.. in mileage and hotel alone. soo that's where we shall go.
jlee--
isn't that the way it always goes??
everything is a tradeoff i guess. if ya think about it.
hey kel--
i agree with ya--
i usually don't keep leftovers long-- if at all.
just happened to this time.. never aqgain..specially chicken..always a bad idea. hmmm.
anyhow-- yep-- dr's do seem to pass us around a lot don't they. bah!
i do believe it's cuz they really don't know what else to do with us--
and here we are-- still shellin out the cash-- hopin they'll come up with somethin.
now who's the dumber of the two--
i always think it's me..and threaten to never go back-- but i always do-- just cuz i want an answer...that i never get. :((
hey blur--
there is a magic pill-- only problem is it only works when it feels like it-- which isn't very often... :))
but when it does-- that's when you see me here --
so-- TADA!
brave? nah. highly unlikely.
crumpled to the floor and defeated , given in to my fate of this is how it is, and unchanged it will stay--so suck it up -- or live in bed-- yep-- that's more like it. :))
but hey-- you can see me as brave if ya want-- i'll take it. :))
hey ac--
the headache was at it's worst on the pt day and night-- the next day was more a take a shot and don't move, but do what i could from the chair day. i did function.. i just didn't move much. :)) ugh. it sucked-- but not intolerably so. maybe i worded it wrong.. not laid up 2 days-- laid out?
laid in? shut in? who knows.. it just wasn't fun.
anyhow-- did you google lake amistad?? you wanna go dontcha? i haven't been but i bet my ten pounder is in that lake !!!! the water is clear as a pool !!!! i can't wait.
woo hoo---
one thing we weren't gonna get to do at the beach--- fish. now we can-- every day-- it's gonna be awesome.
there is also cliff diving-- if i didn't think i'd break my back-- or neck-- i would try it-- but i really don't think i want to die out there. the girls may be gutsy enough. i was at their age.
i sure hope they don't whine the whole time.
kids are soo damn spoiled these days.
when we were kids , me and my sis would walk a mile to a little creek and it was heaven--- now they think they need amusement parks, and pools, and water parks, and all that crap. if it doesn't cost 200 bucks a day they arent happy. well these two better suck it up i say! :))
i woulda loved a lake like this when i was their age. so i demand that the do TOO :)) lol
hi gypsy--
you did make me smile-- but not cuz you're crazy--
well cuz if you are-- well i am too--
cuz not only do i wanna bash my head in the wall when it gets that bad-- but a couple times-- well.. i've actually wished i had a gun. and to make it worse-- i even told the doc that--- how else can you describe that kinda pain-- right?
ugh.
hope you have a long interval between now and your next one!
mine too for that matter
they are vicious.
i'm sorry you were in such awful pain, i really hope you don't have to go through another one like that again. that would be it for the PT for me too. sca-rew that. sucks that you had to wait for him to get off work, but so glad soulman was there to be the hero:D you guys will get the vacation worked out, cause one day it will be time to go and, well, you'll have to go somewhere! the lake sounds nice anyway. perfect for the batmoboat:)
