If anyone has dropped in to read this for the last few days, I apologize. I haven't written anything for awhile and I probably won't for a few days. It hurts too much. I don't mean that I am suffering some kind of emotional angst, but last Friday while I was helping my son arrange our post-moving sale to get rid of the stuff for which we have no room in the new house (as well as a lot of clothing that losing between sixty and thirty five pounds makes pretty baggy) I managed to do something that irritated my hip. I have been to the doctor a couple of times, been Xrayed and will soon have an MRI. My hip hurts so badly that I can't sit down, the act of walking makes me actually nauseous, and I cant really sleep at all. The only reasonably comfortable position I can assume is lying on the carpet in the living room on my right side. This doesn't make for good computer work. In fact, I am in agony right now and will stop this foolishness and will try to take it up again when some of the pain pills begin to have some effect. (so far I have tried lortabs, percocet, arthritis strengy tylenol, 1000 mg of naproxin daily, and am now starting lorcet.) I will try to sit at the computer again. Bye for a few days.
