Walking and Scoliosis

Now into week three of not being able to walk properly. It is so discouraging.
I am now wondering if this is just a natural progression of the scoliosis, or is it something else.
Researching scoliosis and walking,is a dog's breakfast. Like any search, all sorts of unrelated material is shown.
I do not want to lose my ability to walk for good. I can't imagine a life like that. But what if?

Ahead or behind?

Why is it that you feel better, you think you finally have the problem licked, and so
you decide to move onward, only to find out you're not.
Now you are in pain again, and so nothing has been accomplished, instead it is false hope rearing its ugly head.
I complain, yet for a few hours I had no pain. For that I should give thanks.
I'm at Day 10 now, and I'm discouraged. I don't want to read how suffering builds character,blah,blah,blah. I want nothing to do with suffering, and yet suffering is a part of life itself.

Pain Pal

Not Pen Pal is back.
All day from waking up till now,pretty much in pain.
It has moved somewhat so that could be a good thing,or not.
I have been told that I had this before and the Dr. said it had to run its course.
I'm hoping it is not the same as the pain is incredible, and my tolerance level is not.
I don't usually watch a lot of TV but with this latest pain episode(get it!-episode!)
I've had endless,mindless,yet glorious hours of Sunday football-Season Opening day!
Too bad the Bills sucked.
Oh well two hours and then I can declare I may as well go to bed. Thankfully I can sleep despite the pain. I sure hope it continues to be that way.

Acupuncture Punctured

Well I had my 2nd treatment today for my latest problem down in the hip joint area.
When I was finished I could barely walk. I asked the receptionist if it was normal that I leave worse than coming in? According to acupuncture dude it was because of my position.
Usually I lay flat on my stomach, but since I didn't want to barf, I laid on my side.
Nearly eight hours later I still have agonizing pain where the treatment was done.
If I had my choice I would stop, but was told that this treatment should "cure" me in
1/2 the time. Two to four, rather than four to eight weeks.
At the moment I can only stand up for short periods of time. Just going downstairs
hurts. Walking is limited to the house and is excruciating.
I'm seeing my own Doctor next week to obtain his opinion. Problem is the drugs I am already on, can do damage in large quantities.
I so wish I could be healed right now, as the pain is draining and at times seems neverending.

American Propaganda

The Butterfly effect by Andy Andrews

Although the premise of the book showed promise. It was quickly lost at the start of the book.
By using examples of American history,world events seen through American eyes, and American intervention. The author has set up America as the saviour of the world.
I would not,nor could not, continue to read the book after such a presumption had been made.
Thank you to the good folk at Thomas Nelson for providing the book free for review.
