Today I had some really bad pain. Not just bad pain, but a horrible, sharp, cramping pain in my back and side from my liver. I couldn't sit or stand and we really weren't sure what to do. We thought the hospital could deliver better or more efficient pain meds through an IV, but Dr. Abrass told me if the pain gets really bad I could take two pain pills. I took two pills, David rubbed my back, which didn't prove to be as helpful as you might think, and he put one of the pain patches on my back. Somehow the combination of those things made the pain subside enough that I could lay down this afternoon. I was able to eat after that and I have felt better this evening since then.
I can manage pain, but I know this disease is progressing in the wrong direction. That's the part that is hard to deal with.

I'm so sorry this has to be a part of your life. I cry every time something gets harder for you. You are in our prayers and thoughts, as well. Didn't know if you'd heard - we had our baby on the 9th - a 10 lb. boy, Joshua. I miss you in Relief Society each week! Feel better! Love, Liz P.
