Okay -- I haven't been able to tell you this because
1) I was in Las Vegas without a computer.
2) I've been watching and waiting to really KNOW what to say.
My pain has been reduced to a MANAGEABLE LEVEL. YES! It has!!!
Which means I'm able to do the things I MUST do -- not everything. This is heavenly news!! I am still in constant body-wide pain, but it's no longer at the level where I have to stay in bed, in the dark, no reading, no TV, nothing. I'm not running any marathons, and I'm not doing housework. These things are way off-limits still.
But......I lived through Las Vegas! Kevin had hand surgery as soon as we got back home, and I am able to drive him to work in the morning (around 10 a.m.)!!! Etc.!! We got home late Monday, I slept all day Tuesday, he had surgery Wednesday, and Thursday he needed tons of help (still does, but we're figuring it out now). I am SO GRATEFUL for the meds adjustments that made me able to function at a higher level, because I don't know what we would've done otherwise.
I'm so HAPPY. Oh, and please see the above schedule to explain why the BFNR is
*still* not completely opened. It's been insane here. ~~ Sooz
