George is here

George is a tricky bastard. He arrived on May 6 around 10:30pm. I medicated with Ibuprofen 600 and felt moderate cramps come on before the meds fully took effect. I went to bed.

Woke up on May 7 (yesterday) in moaning pain, and took a Tylenol 3 and went back to bed. Woke up and george was gone. But I still had cramps. I had really bad low to mid back pain all day yesterday. But no george. WTF.

I took Ibuprofen 600 before bed last night. Woke up in the middle of the night and there was george.
I woke up this morning to moderate cramps and popped a Tylenol 3.

I’ve only had fleeting moments of feeling pain-free despite the medication. today. I’ve popped an Ibuprofen 600 two hours after the Tylenol 3 and STILL the pain is enough to make me want to cry.

I’m not comfortable in any position. I’m not comfy with a heating pad. I can’t sit up to do the yoga because my back is in screaming pain. I just want to lay here and cry all day.

The pain is not the severe pain that landed me in the hospital last month. It’s different but it’s what would be in the realm of ‘normal’ pain for me. :(

It took all my strength just to make breakfast of yogurt, sliced apples and strawberries, chopped walnuts and almonds, and the flax seed and oil mixture.

I want a massage.
I want a warm blankey.
I want a wheelchair ride in the sunshine but the wheelchair has to have such awesome wheels and shocks that I don’t feel any bumps.
I want my mommy and a colouring book. And when I say ‘mommy’, I don’t mean my ultra-whacked out christian fundamentalist biological mother. I mean I want the idealised mommy you only read about in happy fairy tales.

Blah. gonna go cry now.

    I here by declare your uteris fired. Mines on probation at this time as it has cleaned up its act since it was poked at during surgery. But yours still insists on being a brat.

    Too bad it is not that easy. Is there a way for me to get out there by bus from BART? I could come out tomorrow after my GA appointment if you need company and some help getting food prepared and stuff.

    *hugs*
