Ow. Late night vibes needed, please.
I was having a good night, and I even said so in a post. I should have known better. In less than an hour everything changed and now I'm waiting to see if I need to go to the ER. :(

I'm getting severe stabbing pains in both of my legs below the knees radiating down into my feet. Even with my crutches I can't stand or hobble. So here I sit at the computer, waiting for my second round of evening meds to start helping.

The meds are not only supposed to releive the pain and muscle cramps, they're supposed to knock me out. If a double dose of everything isn't killing the pain, and isn't putting me to sleep, then it's going to be a long unpleasant night. x(

I've hit my medication limit so if this doesn't work and I need more I have to go to the ER and have a doctor give me injections.

My nephew is here, and he's young enough to partying most nights so staying up is no biggie for him. If I need to go to the ER he'll be awake and responsible. I can't tell you how glad I am that he's here. I'm already babbling, and I know I'm going to get less coherent as the night goes on.

Fuck! x(

7. Right Fucking Now!

I'm getting the dopey headedness without the sleepy. This kinda really sucks.

But you're awesome and I am going to catch some of that healing wish. :hug:

10. Thank you, AA.
:hug:

It's weird. My cat, Silver is insisting on laying down near me, but he won't come within arms reach. He's watching me.

I wonder what he senses and what he thinks about it. :)

11. My Nephew is friggin Awesome!
I'm stuggling to pay for both of our bills because he's a broke artist trying to start a business. I'm partially supporting him so he can live on the little bit of erratic money that comes in the first few years, and I couldn't be happier. He's the best investment I've got. :)

In exchange, he's here for me. He's a very good cook (even vegan stuff), and he's very clean, and he's a very cool, easy person to live with.

I do hope your meds kick in soon, and help you get to sleep through the night. And that you feel better come the morning.

12. Thank you very much!
:hug:

My fondest wish right now would be to wake up in a few moments and have it be the middle of the day tomorrow, with all my pain gone for a little while. :)

13. Hi, SA!
:hi:

It always turns out okay in the end. The pain passes and I endure. I keep reminding myself of that. Pain often feels so intrenched and permanent that I have to remind myself that it's not always there and it won't always be there. I just have to endure it and wait.
:)

I'm so lightheaded (and having some double vision) so enduring is definitely getting easier. Hopefully this is a good signt. It probably means I'll be in a blissful medicated sleep soon.

16. I knew you were hiding secret magic powers.
:P

I can now wiggle mybig toes. Yay! That means the muscle cramps in my feet are easing up. :woohoo:

I love it when medications work. I just wish they worked at the lower proscribed levels instead of the higher.

17. Hi MonkeyFunk.
:loveya:

It's okay. Life is painful. It's just life. As long as I have some medication to assist me I can handle this. :)

Does that sound as weird and I think?

Wow. The muscle relaxer is definitely kicking in. Definitely time to lay down. :)

I can handle a bad night if it turns into a pleasant late morning. :)

No pain dreams tonight. Probably no dreams at all.

22. Hi P-B!
:hi:

It really is very cool. I definitely can't live alone anymore, and he's a wonderful person and a lot of help. And because it's him and not some stranger-roommate, he's kind and diligent and persistent about looking out for me. :)

I wish everyone who needed help had someone this good to help them and look out for them.

He is in his room on the phone with a friend, but he has poked his head out to check on me twice already. :)

23. I want hair like that!
:7

I suppose my salt and pepper looks kind of cool, but that red wavy hair is the bomb! I'll bet she's playing with static to get her hair like that. Fun!

Thank you very much for the vibes. May the bad night turn into a good morning. :hug:

25. Thank you very much!
:hug:

My meds finally knocked me out, but I'm going to be a bit out of it all day today as a result.

I've got progress in one left though. The cramps and spasms have stopped. I'm still working on stretching out and relaxing the other one. By this afternoon hopefull this will all be well. :)
