Creeping up on the end of March...

What does April Fools Day hold..?
Could it be that all of this has just been a big April Fools joke and on April 1st it will all just go away..?
HAH...I wish.
Oh well, I can wish right..

Anyway, springtime is in the air. I can't wait for the warmer weather to get here. I am so sick and tired of being cooped up in this godforsaken house..
I need some fresh air.

So, not too much new going on...I have a follow up with my Pain doc on May 3rd. It's time now to readdress my pain meds. I have had some very prevalent issues with my meds not doing what they should be doing as far as helping with the pain...so, I know I must have hit a threshold with my meds and have grown used to the dosage I'm on.
I have had some of the weirdest sensations, and more issues with my pain bothering me than I have ever had before.
I just don't know right now though, if I want to try another type of med or just see about increasing the dosage of what I'm currently taking.

Now, on another issue...I have become fully aware of the effects of TM on me and how bad the fatigue can be sometimes....
Since my wife has had that damn Reclast infusion and has had this allergic reaction to it, she has been almost bed ridden because it hurts her so bad to get up and walk around. Her hips, knees and feet are most affected...so what this means is that I am doing my best to take care of things for her. Doing some cleaning around the house and bringing dinner up to her and drinks and so on...I make many multiple trips up and down the stairs during the day. It's not that I'm complaining about that, I'll do whatever I need to do to take care of her, especially after all she did for me in my early days of TM..
But I just want to do anything and everything I can to take care of her because I have some sense of the amount of pain she is in.
With that being said, by the end of the evening, I am whooped. I'm also having sleep issues myself because of the fact that since I get so tired and wore out during the day, that my legs and my pain are now bothering me more than they had before so it wakes me up during the night....Typically, I awake now usually between 2 to 4 a.m. every morning...so I get up and go downstairs and sometimes fall asleep on the couch for an hour or two...
I even tried to keep myself awake later at night...staying busy messing around on the computer until 10:30p.m. or so, thinking that it will make me sleep in later...but no bananas...it doesn't work.
So, with all that said, things have been pretty challenging lately.
I just want Lizzie to feel better...I've learned to live with my issues...I just don't like to see her in pain like this.

Well...that's about all for now...I'll be posting again in a couple of weeks...
So, for a little music to finish things off today...
Some Van "The Man" Morrison with one of his greatest tunes ever....TB Sheets.


Enjoy...

Till Next Time......
