While I didn’t get clearance to run from the doctor yesterday, I did get all the drugs on the planet and a referral for an MRI (knocked it out last night, results Tuesday). Painkillers (that don’t make me loopy and weird[er]!!!!) steroids (not the anabolic kind, I already inject those daily), NSAIDs (to be taken after five days of steroids), and something to help me sleep (which worked for about four hours then I was tossing and turning and tweeting). It’s amazing what pain does to your mood. It totally killed my natural optimism. Everything seemed like too much to handle. I am so thankful for a little relief. Thank you guys for your well wishes, encouraging words, and of course, the hard love telling me to suck it up and quit being a little bitch.
