Yes, it is taking longer than I wanted to recover and it might take more time.
The patches are Rx Strength, 5% I think, about 5-inch square, but they just do not seem to help.
I am so glad you are able to get relief from them, maybe it is just the kind of pain I am not sure, but so far not impressed with them
Hi Brandi! Have your tried massage therapy? Buddy has been in agony for a few years, and has gone for more tests than I care to count, PT, shots. The works. The neurosurgeon said he is 66 years old and has beat the heck out of his spine. Okay. The salon near my house is where he goes for haircuts, and she recently added a massage therapist to her team, an itty bitty thing. Well, Aimee has been slowly turning my old fogey hubby into a renaissance man; he goes for his haircuts twice a month, lets her shave him, comes home with sprays with essential oil, LOL!!!! Well she convinced him to get a massage. That girl found the spots in his back and he was pain free for over a week. Now that may not sound like a lot, but he has never gone that long. I think he needs to make some regular visits, and he agrees, but I wonder if your pinched nerve needs a little TLC and massage therapy may be what it takes.
....feel better soon....my DS, as you may know, is currently doing DCP. Yesterday he had the late shift, so decided to use the pool at his community center. It suddenly began to rain, with thunder and lightning, so he ran for cover, but the cement was slippery, and he fell and [literally] split open his head. He had to get 5 staples in his head!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's awful!
So dinner has been just okay. I made sausage and peppers Monday night over angel hair. The girls do not like red sauce so I fixed a garlic sauce. It was just okay, and my sweet sausage mixed with a little hot was all screaming hot!
Tuesday I fixed ham steaks with a mixed veggie pasta. Again, it was just okay. Buddy has asked that I please stop nanatizing his food. LOL!
Wednesday I hit the Job Lot to take advantage of the 25% off entire purchase if I am 62 (yes) so we had homemade grinders and chips for dinner.
Tonight is Nola's end of year concert so we will stop at a wake, go to the concert and have leftovers. I am going to try to make a correction to the sausage and pepper hot fiasco.
The rest of the month is crazy! We had to Roger Williams University on Sunday with Kady and Marisa. This is Kady's orientation, so she is busy but we will have a chance to tour the university and area while she does whatever they are supposed to do. Dinner Sunday thru Tuesday is in that area.
Saturday is a BBQ to welcome my nephew's fiancé to the family, so the weekend is shot.
The following Saturday is Kady's graduation, and I will host a small gathering after. Kady has requested sandwich platters and sides.
The 22nd is her party and Marisa has a shindig planned at Welby's. It is a small party but she has a softiserve ice cream machine, a shave ice truck and goodness only knows what food, games, and treats. It is a pool party and they have a projector ready in case folks stay after dark for movies.
I hope you all are enjoying a decent stretch of weather, and pray that you are all healing form the Spring falls, as well as that nasty accident!
Good to see you around here again!
