Back Pain

I don't know if it is possible to quantify pain, but I think today was my worst day so far with the pain. I have this grabbing pain in my back and side and it was so intense today. I take my pain meds, but they really don't do anything for my back pain. I was up for breakfast for a little bit and I started feeling nauseous and the pain started to get worse and I had to go back to bed. I was down in bed all day long. I tried to get up for lunch, but I really couldn't, so I ate my lunch in my bed. I was able to get up with my mother-in-law's help at about 4:30. Sheryl did all my laundry and I wasn't able to be up with her or do anything. A friend stopped by who rubbed my back, which really helped my back feel better. Overall, it was a really hard day for me. My only hope is that tomorrow will be better.

Sheri,
I am so sorry that you are in so much pain. You would think that they could give you something stronger so you could get a little relief. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Love, the Corkills

Dear Sheri,
So much lately, you have been on my heart. I just want you to know that you are in my prayers, daily. I wish I could do more and even take that pain away, but my prayers are what I can do and I will do that diligently.
Sincerely,
Deb Clifford

Sheri, you have so many friends willing and wanting to help you and your family. It is so frustrating that we can't do what is needed right now...take away your darn pain and discomfort. I'm sad that you are having a bad week. Know that we are always thinking of you and hoping you feel better soon. Dr. Griffith sends his thoughts and prayers. Love, the Oneys
