NEW YEAR
Happy New Year to all of my blog readers! I am going to continue to keep up my blog. A few people messaged me and asked about the laser treatments that I received. They are from a company based in Florida and the name of the machine is DIOWAVE. I am sure that anyone can google the name and find the website and contact them for practitioners in your state/area. I am giving up on the laser treatments because I don't think they are really working for me. The cost $50/session and I had about 18 treatments. I am hoping that an ablation will help me if I am a candidate for it. My injury is L5.
I am still in terrible sciatica pain. I can't believe that I have had sciatica since the beginning of April 2018. I have tried so many avenues for pain relief and I haven't improved. Yesterday, which was New Year's Eve I could barely walk, I was hobbling along and kept saying ow, ow, ow!! Dan told me to sit down because my body was telling me that I did too much. If I did that every time I was in pain, I would spend the rest of my life sitting down on the couch! My Parkinson's is really powerful these last few weeks. I am having more and more trouble keeping my balance and I still can't stand in the shower even with shower bars on both walls. My neurologist thinks I am doing well, but if this is good, how bad is bad??? That is a scary thought for me. I am having more and more insomnia. I would think that my body would want more and more sleep but the opposite is happening. I am hoping that the new year will bring me some pain relief!!
Yesterday Olivia, Dan and I went to the casino! Dan won $250.00!!! I won $20 and Olivia won $22. We were all winners. Dan bout a $30 lottery card and gave it to me. I won $40 on it so my net was $10 winnings. Of course, I completely forgot about my sciatica when we won!!! But I had some difficulty sitting on the chair and getting up and down from it! I am having more and more difficulty with t hat issue. Even at night, just to roll over, takes me several really long minutes , especially if the covers are bunched up!!
Last night we went out to dinner with Olivia, Olya, Irene(Olivia's best friend), Adam and Renee! We went to a really nice restaurant and while I was there, I sort of forgot about my issues. (Maybe if I eat out every night at a nice restaurant, I'll forget about my pain!!) Dan and I are not big drinkers and we like to stay close to home on New Year's Eve, too many crazy drunks on the road!! When we got home, Adam's two adorable nieces facetimed with Olivia and Olya. They are so cute, I said to them, we miss you, we haven't seen you for awhile and they said., we miss you guys too! Later Olivia and Olya went out with friends!
