March 20th, 2015 - Friday

Its been quite some time since I have written anything, on any of my blogs but there is a great reason.  In October I went back to school to try to beat my CRPS into letting me become a human again.  The CRPS isn't amused and I have been in more pain than I could ever hope for.  I'm doing damn well for a 46 year old man in school but it bludgeons me, the CRPS does that is.  I hurt so bad during the days I have to prep for class and for a few days after the pain is still elevated.  I hate it.  Its been a long struggle, over seven years now but I simply won't lose to this stupid thing.

In any case my pain today is around a 9 1/2, with no relief in site.  I'll be walking tomorrow maybe that will help.

Thursday February 19th, 2015

I'm really not feeling the best today.  My pain level has been exacerbated by this freaking cold weather.  I HATE IT!  I feel like I've been hit by a truck and despite the fact my doctor changed one of my meds, OxyCodone, it really is offering little relief.  I took it last night because I was hurting after my class and then a trip to Dubuque (12 short miles away) and it scratched the surface, superficially it could be wiped off with a damp cloth.  Oh well, maybe I'll see if I can write a little today. Pain scale today about a 9 1/2.
