Oh, My Aching Legs

I shouldn't complain with everything going on but as promised I have to keep everyone updated...I guess that's why they are short these days since so much more important things are going on in the US.

I'm feeling a bit more peppy towards the end of this week but my legs don't seem to want to move. Last night I went for dinner and my legs hurt so bad once I got home that I thought I was going to "lose" my dinner! And the sad part is that I didn't even walk...I drove to dinner for the first time in a while. I'm only driving about once a weeke since I'm not really supposed to be but what the heck. How am I supposed to get better holed up in my house?

I have an appointment tomorrow with the pain management doc...he thinks I'm nuts because I say I have bone pain...all of which is true because when one gets Cushing's your bones deteriorate into "old lady" bones. I went from having 20 year old bones to that of a lady whose 60+ with osteoporosis. Not something fun to deal with! And now that I'm gettting back on track the sudden surge of calcium and bone materials causes great pain. I hear it's only supposed to last a few months! UGH!!!

I hope he gives me something good and I'm asking about physical therapy next week to see if that will help...that and the massage therapy will hopefully get some of the aches out so I can start getting back into a ashape where I can handle walking a decent distance and eventually will be physically strong enough to return to work. What a concept - Yes, I want to go back to work! I just know it isn't going to be anytime soon with this pain and the amount of rehab I have in front of me. Besides, I don't want to become an addict with all these narcotics in me. I don't need another bad thing to overcome. I think by combining all these things I will be in good shape.

Okay, off to nap before I go to the store! Have a good afternoon!
