I hope you are feeling better with each passing day. So good to hear that your range of motion is better and praying the pain subsides quickly.

This is wearing e down to the core. On top of the pain and swelling I just got a call from the clinic telling me my account is becoming very delinquent. This is due to the fact that ins has not paid them. This sets me off into major panic and hysteria. Of course my ins company is closed on weekends...Freaking out, just don't know how much more I can handle.

Have you received any EOB (Explanation of benefits) from your insurance company in the mail? Those would tell you if the claims are being paid or if they need more information, etc. If you have those, read them over; if nothing else it can give you more information to put you at ease until you have a chance to contact them after the weekend.

Thanks PL

I am frustrated because I thought we sorted this out 2 weeks ago. Now I have to go back at it and I am ready to erupt. trying to ground and calm myself down.

I hate hassles and suspense. I am sorry you have to deal with this on top of everything else. I hope you get it sorted out on Monday. So sad that it happened on the weekend. Big hugs.

I have gotten really depressed over the last week. So been trying not to bring others down with me. Just an update. Since the procedure on Monday it seems my leg is trying to win the Guinness book of world records for swelling. This makes it so hard to move at all. I have had a really hard time even getting to the bathroom and kitchen.I have been doing the best I can on the machine only managing around 3 or 4 hours a day before the pain starts to pull me apart. Well I am hoping this really starts to change. It makes it hard to see the progress when I am like this.

I am still very grateful to the 2 friends that have been my cheerleaders, drivers, and ears to scream at over the last 7 weeks. Today my cousin is bringing a cleaning lady to help in the house for a few hours. I am beyond grateful that she is doing this for me. Actually I am ashamed to let them in the house at this point. I feel like I need to try and get up to tidy before they come to clean. It looks tike a small tornado went off in the house. Granted my daughter has helped in the mess. I would not change that cause at least she comes and visits me almost every day.

I have the Chiropractor today and can only hope he does his magic. His process hurts like hell but always seems to work wonders a day or two later. I am also going to make an appointment with the acupuncturist for this week. Just maybe his magic can help the swelling. Yes I am trying all I can to help. I just seriously need a vacation from myself. I have a follow up with the Dr. on Thursday I hope he will be ok with my lack of progress.

I am glad you are trying everything you can to push through this. The swelling will go down in time. Please don't think you will bring us down, we are all happy to support you as much as we can. :hug:

I have a candle burning for your healing.

I'm so pleased you have friends who are helping you out. As for tidying before the cleaner comes :hilarious:, but I know what you mean. Don't worry about it, I'm sure she has seen much worse. I class my house as dirty clean as opposed to dirty. A dirty house is ground in grime, smelly and unloved, a 'dirty clean' house has dust and is untidy but nothing deep. Does that make sense or am I just a lazy housewife?

I hope both the chiropractor and acupuncturist work their magic but have you thought about seeing someone for your mental well-being. If you can afford it, maybe have a hand or neck massage or even both. Something with nice scented healing oils to give you a gentle lift.

(((HUGS)))

, maybe have a hand or neck massage or even both

I have asked my Chiro for a referral to a massage T. I need something that feels good. I feel like I take myself to be beat up everyday.

My cat seems to like my equipment a lot more than I do. This is her stretched out on it. lol:roflmao:
