feel my grief
I haven't yet managed to cry 1 year ago

although I can feel it lurking inside me. I’m sure if I can just let go and cry I can start to get through the grief process and get back to remembering the good things about my father and how he’d want me to experience the moment and embrace life as he did.

A question about this goal: Anyone tried acupunture for pain control? 1 year ago

It's so frustrating! 1 year ago

I’ve had an issue with inflammation of the sacroiliac joint for about 16 years, a big reason why I was a couch potato for a good part of the last decade, but now I am determined to end that pattern. Now it flares up worse than ever. I can barely stand in the mornings, hobbling around like a 90 year old woman. My doctor has been through all the non-narcotic treatments and they aren’t working. The only non-narcotic with any effect is Toradol injections and those aren’t meant to be used long term, as in for more than three days. Vicodin works for the pain, but I really hate taking any narcotic: vicodin, demerol, any of them. I’ve tried chiropracty and steroid injections to no avail. My insurance provides a discount for non-traditional treatments, so if my doctor can’t come up with a non-narcotic solution when I see him on the 20th, I’m going to find an acupuncturist in hopes of seeing some improvement through a more natural means. I want my body back.
