Hard Week!

This past week has been really hard! In addition to getting over the additional inflammation and scarring the injection causes in the early days, I had family events all last weekend that I could not get out of. I did not want to get out of them to be honest. I had not seen some of these people for years and I really wanted to go. I had to ride in a car for 6 hours round trip. My back was screaming in pain when I got home! I know, I know, I should not have done it! But, darn it! I am not going to stop living because of this darn back pain! I refuse to allow this pain to do that to me. So I gritted my teeth, kept ice packs on my back and Lidoderm patches on when I could.
