The real bandit in the bushes and other thoughts
3 days in a row, that is a new record for me. he he he
So I posted the other day that I had Bursitis. Well apparently I lied to you all. It is not Bursitis. It is actually PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME. It's like Bursitis but it is also like Sciatica. It is a lot like Sciatica because the muscle that is causing all the problems is either right next to it intertwined with the Sciatica nerve. Once the muscle is injured and inflames and gets all tight it presses on or constricts on the Sciatica. And viola the mind numbing pain is brought on.
In all honesty when I left the doctors office today I had the biggest smile on my face. I had no idea how worried I was about the diagnosis and treatment. after he told me it was not Bursitis or my Ra progressing I felt so relieved. The whole ride home I was giddy and smiley. Meaghan was sitting in her seat staring at me like I was nuts. Every time a song came on the radio that I even only knew one line to I felt like I had to belt that line out at the top of my lungs. I'm pretty sure when Rhianna wrote "what's my name" she did not think that some 30+ sahm would turn it into a one line didddy. OH NA NA WHAT'S MY NAME, OH NA NA WHAT'S MY , WHAT'S MY NAMES WHAT'S MY NAME. ~giggle~
I have another 4 - 6 weeks of pain but at least I know it will heal. The doctor changed my pain meds ( I'm now on a triplicate pain patch) and he put me back on Celebrex (apparently the Diclofenac was not cutting it) So we will see how it goes from here. Oh yes I have to swim everyday. The doc said that the more I swim and do my physio the faster it will heal.
I have a friend I love very much. She is a a huge part of my life and my daughters life, and I would have it no other way. She did something today that I am very proud of her for. She posted something on her blog about what she is going through in her personal life. I know this is something most blogger's do everyday, but this post was completely honest and real. She did not hide behind humour, she did not mask pain with metaphors. She decided that she would write about who she is truly and admit to some very hard things that shaped her into the amazing woman she is today. She wrote about her biggest fear. The one thing in all the world that makes her feel like she would be better off dead. I am so proud of her. I hope that I will be half as brave as she was today, when I post here.
I think that's it for today. I hope to see you here again tomorrow.

Awwww, thanks B. Let the healing begin....for both of us! You've got a swimming friend in me. Well that is, if you want the crazy company! Here's to you my drug induced friend, let's hope they kick this thing in the taco.
Oh and take that comment approval shit off, it's the worst thing you can do if you actually want comments. People don't like to be moderated :P
