A Moblogger? Really?
I’m writing this post on my cell phone.
So I guess that means I’m “moblogging”?…
(Ugh! My geeky-ness knows NO bounds.)
The jury is still out on whether or not the nerve blocks worked. The last week of spine-needle-stabbing fun SUCKED as far as the pain and my utter hopelessness are concerned.
Sherrie of Fab Shab took me to the slaughter last Monday. I don’t remember everything I said, but I do remember laughing a.lot. Something about some poor old lady’s jacked up hair rings a bell…
Anyway. Life was pretty o-kay that day until. Until I got outta bed and watched my foot turn purple. I’ve watched that phenomenon happen hundreds of times… This time, however, was different because the sight of it basically shattered any hope that I had left of the RSD leaving my life. I only had one block left and I really didn’t, and still don’t, think it would make that big of a difference. And you know what? So far I’m right.
Last Wednesday’s nerve block was horrible. The worst yet, actually.
*I’m going to interrupt this heart warming post to tell you that Helene JUST walked up to me and casually spit apple juice on my shoulder. Nice. You know… It is times like these that I really just love my job. Okay. Back to our not so regularly scheduled posting.*
Suffice it to say, I was crying as I was being wheeled back into surgery and was STILL a weeping wonder when I was put into recovery. Umyeah. The hopelessness factor DEFINITELY came to a head that day. And there was NO stopping the flow. Just ask my doctor or any of the nurses… Or anyone in the general vicinity of the surgery center, for that matter.
Now it’s about a week later. And today is looking to be a good “foot day”.
I just hope that today’s good foot day turns into a good “foot rest of my forever”.
Too much to ask?
Probably.

Are you nuts? Writing that whole thing on a teeny tiny cell phone?
I sure hope it worked!!
LBC
Fingers crossed!!!
If you think it, it will come! Relief that is. Okay. So maybe it sound weird but like every other single person in this world right now I watched the show about The Secret and read the book. Who knows? Maybe it’s true? Can’t hurt to tell yourself all will be well, right? And I’m still praying for you, too. I sure wish I could do more for you girlfriend. Keep us updated.
yeah that lady gave us some laughs. she was an odd one. sorry wednesday didn’t go well – let me know if you need anything. more trips to the physical therapy clinic where we can laugh at the weirdos comes to mind.
I have my fingers crossed for you! I want you to be able to wear BOTH shoes of those cute pairs you got earlier.
I am just so sad that your foot issues continue. Who would have thought that one little ankle twist on the porch would equal a year’s worth of total agony? It’s terrible, Kelly. I wish I could do something to help.
For the record, I do say a little prayer for you each time I look at my garden gnome. I’m not kidding.
If I had a medical degree, I’d totally start up research on new methods for treating RSD! There just HAS to be something more that can be done!
Alas, I don’t have a medical degree, so I will just hope and pray that someone with a medical degree comes up with better options.
Take care of yourself!
I’m just so sorry to hear about all of your foot troubles, Kelly. I really am. I really hope that you have some relief soon.
The Girl will walk by and wipe her hands or nose on me sometimes. Thankless job we have, indeed.
Fingers crossed and prayers going up!!!! I sure hope you get relief.
