Crappy day here. Blah! I have cervical spinal stenosis where my spinal cord is "flattened" from my C5 to my T1, with 3 herniated discs just in my neck. This crap dates back to when I was rear ended at 17 and got worse being rear ended a few more times over the years, one of them being a pretty severe accident when I was 26 weeks pregnant with the twins. I've dealt with it all these years, but it has gotten WAY worse in the last year. So today I had 3 epidural steroid injections in my neck (my second round in the last 5 months). We were going to try it one more time before I get sent off for surgery on my neck. I'm in tears tonight in pain from the injection and I'm crazy frustrated that I still have shooting pain down my arms, along with the awful pain I had before the injection. I know it could take a few days for it to kick in, but I'm just so scared that it won't and I'll have to do the surgery much sooner than I'd like. I'll have to get it eventually, but we're just trying to hold off as long as possible since I've got 3 little kids, one that I'm still lugging around. I wouldn't be able to lift him (or much else) for at least 6 weeks! Not so practical. Being that my mom passed away, and my dad and sister don't live here, it'd be really tricky to find help for that long. Sigh. Where is my mama when I need her!!??
Lol...wow, apparently I needed to vent! Sorry, that was way longer than I'd anticipated!

Betsy. That sounds awful. I'm sorry you feel like you can't take the time to heal yourself 
I can't imagine my world without my mama
