Hubby woke up and his leg and hip hurt so badly he did succumb and take a pain pill...I burst into tears...I knew he wanted desperately to not get back on pain pills...I said, "the reality is that you are 100% disabled" SS and the VA have declared that you are...you have serious debilitating issues and if you need that pain pill you take it.
Had family over all day and he was in a great mood...drugs...sometimes it gets us all through the day. As we all seem to say...one day at a time...that is as good as it gets. HUGS all around.
Pain meds are not the worst thing
ReplyDeletepain is
one pill is not "getting back on pills"
I thing thats something about our generation
we are scared of being addicted
but pain is pain
you are one of the strong ones
its good you have family to share with
-- at least I think that's what you are saying
hopefully they are helping not hurting
remember to take care of yourself
don't give too much of yourself away
get a good night's sleep tonight
Yes, family is supportive and caring but what he does not like is how the pain pill might ease some of the pain, it alters his behavior and anywhere from sleeping, or dozing, to feeling loopy, can't drive, and some give him hallucinations...and the dreaded constipation he tries to avoid them...but yes, pain is worse than managing pain. HUGS and LOVE I did get a good night's sleep...THANKS SISTERHOOD! LOVE the support.
