having bad bad bad day!!!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Last night I took my break through pain med because it was 3 hours until my

regular meds could be taken.

I fell asleep and woke up in screaming pain at 4:30am. It was too late to take

my night pills and too early to take my morning pills, so I took 2 more

breakthrough pain pills. I was in really bad shape.

I took my morning pills an hour early at 6am. My body was still in severe pain

like razors cutting into me.

I waited for it to calm down. I ate a piece of toast for breakfast and it came

back up, because I forgot to take my Reglan. OK, it's going to be one of those

days, a day of fibro fog big time.

At 10 a.m., I drove to the grocery store to get stuff for supper. There wasn't a

single riding cart left which meant walking all over that store. Time for

exercise!

By the time I got out it was after 11 a.m. My legs hurt and swelled up big time.

My shoes were stuck on my feet. (I wear Jane flats)They were really

hurting.

I got home to a phone call that said " yYour Dad is back in the hospital - major

stroke again. " So I brought in the food (hubby was sleeping) He'd had nightmares

of our son who died in Dec. off and on all night.

In case I haven't said before my hubby is also disabled. He has high anxiety (to

the extreme)

I woke him up, told him about dad and that I was making the 37 mile trip to the

hospital.

I drove to the hospital and I couldn't find a parking spot, so I drove to the

front of the hospital. They have parking guys yeah!!!

I walked (very long corridor ) into the ER. I told them who I was going in to

see. They sent me to the wrong room (my father is not a pregnant woman about to

deliver.) So I had to walk around until I found his room.

He had a massive stroke and heart attack .OK, I can handle this RIIGGHHT ,It

took a couple of hours to find out that he will survive.

He is in no pain & settled into his room. Now to calm down my mother, & 4

brothers.

I finally get home.6pm, My legs feel like they are going to bust & are really

killing me .I took my afternoon meds (a couple hours late).

Hubby has cooked supper(thankfully) Sons have come home from work told them

about gramps & got them fed. I forgot to take that darn reglan again & up came

supper, my blood sugar was very low so I had chocolate milk with pain killer and

had hubby take off my very, very, tight shoes and got into the tub hoping to

bring down the swelling. I took an extra Lasix. I had to get help getting out of

the tub.

I took a Reglan and had a Lean Cuisine. A half an hour later, I started itching

all over & broke out in a rash. Great the cupboard was empty of Benadryl. Who

ever took it last forgot to replace it. So I ran to the gas station & picked up

some Benadryl.

I took 2 pills and waited while hubby scratched my back and all other areas I

couldn't reach. An hour later my body doesn't itch anymore, but the rash is

still pronounced. If it's still there tomorrow I'll go to the local ER

..

Right now it's around 3 am and I can't sleep. My legs are still killing me so I

took a couple painkillers. Hopefully I'll fall asleep soon.

Sweet dreams my sweet brothers and sisters.
