I had to post just to ask for some prayers. I have had a pretty rough few days. I haven't even blogged about my back. After arriving at the surgery center on Thursday and speaking with my doc, he decided to give me SIX shots in my back. Needless to say, it was very painful. Not the shots themselves (I was asleep for that part), but after waking up I was in a ton of pain.
He said that if I don't feel any relief after this set that we will meet again and discuss going a different route because obviously the shots aren't working. Discouraged.
All day Thursday and yesterday I was in a lot of pain. I try to block it out as I know people are tied of hearing me complain. But honestly, if you have ever experienced chronic pain of any sort, it is hard to stay positive.
Last night, I put on my happy face (my mom might disagree....it was a really hard day for me) to take the kids to the Fall Festival. I really wanted them to have a great time. While we were there, I noticed that the top of my wrist was really hurting (after I put 14 {remember that's my go-to number} really 3 bags on my arm to carry). I wrote it off, and just kept on going.
We stayed at my parents house since Husband was gone hunting and this morning my arm/wrist was killing me. For the first time in weeks, I didn't wake up with back pain (actually I DID, it is just that my wrist hurt worse). I, once again pushed it to the back of my head, and by the time we were set to leave my parents this morning, I couldn't take it anymore.
Contrary to what you may think, I think I am pretty touch. Am I just falling apart? It hurt so bad, we headed to PrimaCare. The doc there said I have a deep bone bruise. It doesn't look like there are any fractures, but they are going to send my x-rays off to have them double checked to be sure. Well, in the mean time I have to wear this brace. I hate it! BUT, it does helps with the pain, because I can't move it as much. It hurts worse when I move it (which is all the time with three kids!).
So, I know you're bored from reading this! The reason for this post is to ask for prayers. I am tired of hurting. Today at Kole's football game, it was very clear that I was just a big, fat complainer (just ask Carly!). So, please pray that I can get some relief from everything. You know your prayers are appreciated!

Prayers are coming to you. I wish the shots were helping you and I understand them too. My dad has had them too and they did not help either. I am so sorry that you are in pain. It is NOT fun! Hang in there girl!

Okay, that's so funny that you tell everyone to ask me if you were complaining. I was just sitting here reading this thinking, "I never heard her complain once..." Seriously. I didn't. I think you're a trooper. Rushing around getting photos and presents for all the players. Are you kiddin' me?! I think you're amazing.
Didn't you have a wrist brace you had to wear a while back? You were miserable and they wanted you to wear it longer and you took it off?? Am I crazy? Was that the same arm? No- that was a thumb thing. Was it the same arm?? Any connection?
Hope you feel better. Any improvement yet with the back?
Hollie, You know, that I am right here with you. And hun you are not complaining. Chronic pain, is such a pain. No pun intended. It's really the worse kind of pain, cause it's just alwaays there, in the background or in the forfront. Most the time I just say I'm doing well or I'm great, good or whatever, but really I'm hurting in pain or well just not full well. But sometimes you just get use to it. Not that it is suppose to be that way. You just feel like you have to be so strong, cause you have so much responsibility and so many people counting on you. I hope in your case that you can get the relief you need however it may come. Know that you are loved and prayed for. :) Hugs!!
I'm sorry that you're in so much pain, and I really can relate... there is nothing worse than constant pain. I'm praying for you a ton. I'm telling you, acupuncture worked miracles for me!
Tiny needles, feels awesome, no anesthesia ;)!
xo, A
Oh Hollie, I'm so sorry that you are having to suffer from another injury on top of your back! Who knows, this injury could be a by product of cheering too...cartwheels, back handsprings, etc! Ugh! Consider yourself prayed for!
Hang in there and just try to stay positive, I know it's hard.
Just found your blog and am so glad i did! I'm not 'following'!
You've got an adorable family!
-from one Hollie to another! ;-)
Oh yes the lovely blue brace. My son had to wear one on his leg (went from upper thigh to lower/mid calf) for WEEKS. He too was not happy with it. LOL
I will be lifting you up in prayer that the pain eases.
