It’s been a couple of rough days around here. My Dad’s been in the hospital since Friday. After suffering with diarrhea for two weeks he decided to finally go to the out patient department last Wednesday. The doctor gave him Imodium and sent him home. Two days later he was back, this time by ambulance. After five days of not getting any better, he is scheduled to have a colonoscopy first thing tomorrow morning.
My back has been bothering me since Saturday. When the pain got so bad today, it made me sick to my stomach I broke down and also went to out patient’s. It appears that I have an inflamed disc. So I’m home for a couple fo days on anti-inflammatory drugs.
Sorry about the troubles. When my back was very painful, once I managed to get out of bed, I had an office chair with arms that I could sit in that helped a bit and the arms allowed me to stand up as necessary. I was told to definately not just lie in bed but walk a bit. Hope the pills help.
Now back across the border – today in upstate new york.
I’ve been puttering around the house as much as I can, put the gym on hold for a day or two. To make it worse, the television flat lined as well.
