    Getting ready to visit my sheets and pillow soon. The aching is getting bad in my legs again. I haven't taken anything for it, since nothing seems to help. I don't like taking so much Ibuprofen, Naproxene, Aleve. I have an appointment to see my doc tomorrow at 1430, so with any luck, she'll be able to do something for it. I don't want muscle relaxers or pain medication. I want to find out what the root cause of the problem is and working on fixing that. I don't want or need a band aid.

    While I'm there I'm hoping she can look in to the pain behind my right rib cage. I've had that since back in early February, but it isn't nearly as bad as the leg pain.

    Chronic pain sucks. It takes a lot to deal with it, then there's still just doing the life thing on top of it.

    I have a high tolerance for pain, but I wish it would hurry up and go away. I still force myself to get out of bed and go to work every day, because that's just what I do. If we want to get moved eventually, I do what I have to do, and keep pushing myself.

    I am no doctor but I think a MRI or an ultra sound of your rib cage would be very helpful. The leg pain, it could be coming from your spine, if it's a nerve thing... a MRI or a cat scan would be good... get a blood test too.

    I'm home. Rolled in 19:20.

    Pretty good day overall. Only BS is I was told about enough stuff that I automatically took the trailer to SDV. Then get a call first one was cancelled and soon enough another was cancelled.

    So I really could have done all day without trailer.

    Currently no morning plan.That is both a blessing and a curse!

    Fargo. Clutch started acting up today so took the truck into the shop. They couldn't find anything wrong and said it is in adjustment. Maybe it is just having a bad day.

    I know Pete. It's just that today I did NOT feel an overwhelming desire to reach through the phone and choke anyone. That made it a pretty fair day by my standards....

    I use that line so many times these days. Dave started something with that.


    If I figured correctly, he started driving about 2100.

    Hope you slept well, Rocks

    I'm off to work. Have a safe and fun day all ~Hugs~
