I’m going through a tough time

23 August 2008 5 Comments

I really am not in a good phase of my life. I’m fed up with my work (I need motivation to go on with my life), my back pain is killing me and patience is something I lose very easily.

Thursday I was in such pain that I went to the doctor and the prescription was an urgent pain killer injection and three more in the following three days. The last injection is tomorrow and although I feel a little better today the pain is here, still active.

To make things worse Friday I had to take my mother to hospital because she broke a toe. Having my father totally dependent in bed makes things worse because to go to the hospital my mother had to find someone to stay with him. Luckily the broken toe will cure by himself and there is no need to immobilize the foot, therefore she’s able to walk around the house and still take care of my father.

Being in pain causes me a lot of discomfort, makes me impatience and I lose my temper very easily. Being in the computer has been very complicated lately because it caused me a lot of pain on my back and since I stay in the computer at work 8 hours, at night I’m already suffering a lot and I’m not able to spend a few more hours on the laptop. I look forward to September so that I can go to my doctor and start physiotherapy.

Regarding my work/job that’s a tough issue to resolve. No idea what to do with my working future.

One day at a time is an easy advise people usually give but it’s really hard to practice.

I am so sorry you are hurting. Walking always helps my back pain. Sitting at the computer for hours at a time really gets mine hurting.

I’m not going to give you any advice. Just want you to know that I care about you and am here if you need to talk. I’m praying for you too.

Karen, my problem is that my job is working at a desk so it’s difficult not to be sat. The shots I had these last days helped a little but as soon as I spend some time sitting at a desk or driving the pain is back. I really look forward to physiotherapy to see if it works, if not I’ll be trying alternative medicines because…I can’t live like this.

Connie, thank you so much for your comment. I know I can count on you.
I know that when people are down like I’ve been, there is little we can say or do. Sometimes I have my doubts about posting about it but writing helps.
First step right now is organize better my daily life (I’ve got to start a Weekly meals Menu), schedule my posting, laundry days, etc. I think this will help me to get a little less stress for now. The pain is something I hope I can solve soon. Thanks!!!
