About those aches and pains...

Ok, so for all of you who tuned into yesterdays post about my back ache and my medication struggle, I didn't want to keep you on the edge of your seat much longer. I decided I just wasn't sure enough about the oxycodone to go ahead and take it last night. I did manage to get a little bit of sleep when I sat straight up on the couch, but those three hours didn't leave me feeling very well rested. So, I hemmed and hawed all day and spent half my day at work researching all of the horrible and detrimental side effects of giving this medicine to my little Tazby. I even made an appointment with a chiropractor and called my midwife for her expert opinion. After all the research and pain, I decided I was going to do the dreaded thing and "pop the pill".

So I took this little miracle pill that I didn't want to take, but I did it because I thought it was going to be the solution to all of my problems. And guess what? It didn't work! It didn't even leave me pain free for 30 minutes. Seriously, what a waste of hemming and hawing. Now it's back to the starting board. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe the chiropractor will even call me back tomorrow. That visit will be a whole post in and of itself. If you happen to have any insight, feel free to comment. I could use any help I can get right now!
