I'm in a lot of physical pain due to sciatica, which began on Saturday. I'm frustrated that I can't do anything except lay on my back until it's resolved. I'm lonely, feeling a bit of self pity, and somewhat scared that not going into work for a few days will effect my job performance and my boss's perception of me. My employer is doing a lot of lay-offs and I cannot afford to be out of work and don't want life to push me into early retirement :eek:
I hope you feel better and I can totallty relate. I have the same thing and I have back and neck problems and chronic pain. It definitely adds to depression. I hope you get some relief soon.
Kind of lost. We upped my medicine so that I would have more energy and it doesn't appear to be working. Same amount of energy. I'm lost in thinking what am I going to do with myself?. Today should have been therapy day, but she cut down at my clinic due to her pregnancy. Won't see her until next week. Hope this lost feeling goes away soon.
I spent all morning at gym. I did an aquafit class, then swam 20 lengths, spent 15 minutes in the spa pool and then had a lovely shower. On my way home, I stopped in at Hobbycraft and bought my almost 3 year old great nephew his birthday and Christmas presents.
After a quick lunch at home. I went and did a community car drive, taking a gentleman to his hospital appointment.
Thanks for the well wishes, Blackbird. I went to the chiropractor today. It helped about 60%. I told my boss what's going on with me. He said his wife gets sciatica also and was very understanding. Nevertheless, I'm working remotely from home :cool:
Once again, I quit smoking and I feel very anxious :nailbiting: about it.
Past attempts have failed miserably, but I didn't want to quit like I do now. I want to be able to breathe without struggling for air!!! I am not sure what to expect from the process of stopping, but I know I must :stop: stop!
Other than anxiety, all is well.
:hug:
hugs for all in need,
