Pain is one of those things that our Puritan ancestors have a lot to answer for on. "Pain makes you stronger." "Tough it out." "Other people have it worse." So people keep thinking, "I'm stronger than this, I don't want to look like a whiner." And when you finally yield and look for help, you're looked at like you're a weakling or someone who just wants the drugs.
The people who manage my health insurance should be coated in honey and stuck out over a red ant nest, but the care itself has been wonderful. Bless Hubby's pain docs.
I just got off the phone with her! She said the whole thing went much better and wasn't nearly as scary as she imagined. She said the doctor and staff were wonderful. She is home resting.
May it work! Honestly, I can't even imagine living with the chronic pain I know so many deal with. I have a bit of discomfort and I am a big baby. My foot surgery is Monday. Expect to hear a lot of crying and moaning from this side. Also know that I will have a stack of novels and laptop and will be forced to stay put at home for 2 weeks. Seriously, I can't help but think of this as vacation.
Glad to hear your mother is home and recovering, Laura. I hope the procedure works well for her.
