The move is done....

Well, at least MOST of my things are moved from my grandparent's house to my new place. I gave Dr. P the phone update per his instructions, and when he called me back he wanted me to try a new treatment. He told me this morning when he was doing the treatment that this particular therapy has been used widely in Eastern Europe for a variety of disorders that cause pain. Also, it has been shown to help increase energy levels. As for me, I haven't felt too much improvement in my upper back, but I have seen some in my lower back and hips. Interestingly, this is a kind of magnetic therapy that uses magnetic pulses to transmit energy. When he went to do this treatment on my right side, I noticed there was a lot more pain. He said that indicated some sciatica. This means there is a problem with my sciatic nerve which sits in my lower back and on the back of my leg. It causes a great deal of pain, especially when I am using those particular muscles frequently.

Anyway, I'm going to see how it goes. I hope it will help decrease my pain levels.

I have to get almost everything done from my move by the end of today, because I'm going for a six day stretch which starts tomorrow. It makes me nervous because I know I tend to get more crabby when I do a long stretch, but I unfortunately need to make more money to help get myself ahead financially.

My grandma had her surgery on Thursday and it went very well. It took her two hours to come out of the anesthesia but she has otherwise done quite well. They had to take some lymph nodes under her arms but those did not show any signs of cancer! This is wonderful news. She has an appointment to find out whether or not she needs radiation today. I am going to try to call her later this week to see how it went. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers as well as the rest of the family.

But, I better get to my grandparent's house to get more of my stuff out of there. I am so happy to have this move done and I hope and pray that things go well for me.
