Hi Sand,
I did move up my Dr. appointment and I will try to take it easy as I think I have been overdoing everything. My PM doctor is cutting my meds, I hate that. I wish they would let me decide when to cut. I do have a small stash thank goodness. Something seems a bit messed up but I hope it is temporary. My husband thinks I am now okay (maybe not) because I had felt better and I guess the expectation to get on with my life is there. I am now on an ice-pack. Thanks for the concern, usually when I rest it does feel better so I am going to work on that.
My puppy walks may have been too ambitious for now. My doctor has said do what I can and I will know but that may have been too vague. He said simple stretching, walking etc. It is hard to believe that I was walking pain free a few weeks ago and cooking dinner and now have this buttock and leg pain again. Older sucks. I just passed the big 60! Isn't that the new 50?
Thank you again for my reality check,
Phylly
