As long as I don't forget to take my gabapentin at night, the pain is under control.
I do understand this. It's the mid-day dose that I'll miss sometimes and then I can feel the numbness creeping back into my fingertips as the warning. I have actually be surprised at how well this drug is working, and that there is still a much bigger dose they could move to.
I hope that the relief continues for you SJ. I had the cortisone in my back a little over two weeks ago and I have a followup with my physical medicine doctor on Friday. I know that my goal is to preferably avoid back surgery, but forgoing that, to at least delay it as long as I can.
I’m glad the gabapentin is helping people.
I’ve spent the day cleaning and making Cornish pasties. The food, not the dance accessory. I haven’t really accomplished much this week (not that I’d planned to do so, but still), so it’s kinda nice to see a moderately clean carpet, at least. The pasties are still in the oven, so it remains to be seen whether they’ll be an accomplishment or a waste of perfectly good root vegetables.
ETA: the root veg were not wasted.
The food, not the dance accessory.
An important distinction! Though I suppose you could make tassles out of carrot tops.
Side note: Y'all should check your online accounts. We already got our stimulus check.
We got it very early with the first checks as well, so it might be rolling out at the same pace as the first time.
Of course this is the first year in the last 10 where we weren't broke after xmas and it isn't as essential for us.
Good looking out David, yep got mine.
For mine, status shows as "pending," which says to me it won't actually post to the account until Monday.
Yeah, ours came in quickly too, Hec.
My credit union has a message up saying that their traffic is up and if you don't have a pending deposit yet please wait until tomorrow to check again and many people won't get anything until next week. Nothing for me, yet, but I think I had to wait a while for the first check as well. And I'm not really hurting for it right now as I did just get paid. Good old end of the month paycheck beating the holiday.
