No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth!!

I realized today that it has been a long time since I posted on my blog. I have been having back and leg pain for so long that I haven't felt much like sitting at the computer. My DD Beth suggested switching from ibuprofen to extra strength Aspirin. On Saturday I took 2 ASA at 6 hour intervals and was pain free all day. Yesterday I was down to 2 doses. I am still having a little hip pain from the arthritis but I can live with that. The back and leg pain sucked everything out of me as anyone with chronic pain knows. I am going to start doing Gi Gong with emphasis on the back and see if that will strengthen my muscles.

Round Robin Photo

Here is a photo of the participants in the Round Robin that I joined. We are all mailing out blocks today.

Round Robin

I am participating in a round robin for the first time.   There are 6 of us in the group.  This is my starting block.  I am so excited to see what it will look like when it is done.  The pink and blue look a little dull but they are actually much brighter.

MRI Results

Had my MRI on Saturday and saw the Orthopedist yesterday. He said that he was looking for something in my sacral bones but the MRI was negative. Now I am breathing a sigh of relief and will continue with the Chiropractor. Sunday I had no pain until after lunch and yesterday, only twinges. Hopefully this will pass too. Being in constant pain is physically draining. I now know what my daughter Beth lives with on a daily basis with ankle pain that cannot be resolved even though she has had surgery, physical therapy and nothing has improved.
