Been offline dealing with some health issues. For the most part I'm OK. Had an episode at the doctor's office when I went for my follow up visit, which almost landed me at the emergency room. I went to the office earlier because I wanted to tell the doctor my back spasms were back and really doing a number on me. I was barely able to sleep with the pain, and taking deep breaths was almost impossible. As he checked my back and my breathing, the spasm tightened leaving me unable to breath at all. Not being able to breathe for a minute feels like a lifetime. Not being able to speak or scream, tears rolling down my cheeks, quick thinking Doc shot me up with some painkillers for the spasm.
I've always suffered musculo-skeletal spasms, just never one like this past week. Now I'm on even more meds -which I hate- but they relieve the pain, so I can breathe. So... a necessary evil.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and writing these past couple of weeks... many things in my head. I'm also hoping for a package within the next few days with some books and some yarn I had ordered; they should keep me busy for a couple of weeks.
zee!! argh, that sounds awful..i'm like you, i don't like medicine, but in some cases (like YOURS) its pretty necessary..hope you get back to feeling better and up and about without medicines soon :)
so..what books?
Yikes, Zee! Feel better...
ohh pain relief. i'm not a fan of it, either. but if it's the only thing that can help.. it's worth it!
*hugs*
oh zee... i hope you find some relief. back pain of any kind can be horrible (as i know) but to have it grab you like that, i can only imagine.
i'm sending healing thoughts your way, girl.
I'm with you, can't stand taking meds either, but I'm glad they're helping you. Hopefully your situation can be improved eventually to the point where you don't need to take so many...? Sending you lots of good vibes. :)
And yes! Tell us about the books.
Mamita, I hope you are feeling better today. I love you and I miss you too. I will let you know when I am ready to talk. This time has hit me hard.
EEK! Feel better soon!!!!
Oh zee I'm so sorry you have to deal with that kind of pain. I understand hating to be on the meds but like you said it's a necessary evil. Take care of yourself okay?
What a BEAUTIFUL site design!
I can't wait to check out some of your old writings.
Holy crap, Zee. That sounds like it could have been very "awkward" had you been all alone somewhere instead of with your doctor. That's one scary thing to happen--not that chronic pain is anything to make light of, but not breathing can get so final!
Michele sent me, Zee.
I hope you feel better Zee!! Big Hugs!!
Oh man. I hope you're doing a bit better now. As someone who has to also take meds for certain stuff...I totally understand your dislike for having to take more pills. Hang in there lady :) *hugs*
I wish I could say something that would make you feel better, that would make the pain go away.
Please know that you are surrounded by friends online who wish nothing but the best for you.
May your muscles not betray you, and may the mailperson arrive quickly.
Yikes, Zee. I know how intensly painful that is. I pulled a muscle once between my ribcage, and it was AGONY! Labor was easier. You can't NOT breathe!! The only thing they can do is drug you into oblivion. (Ahh, lovely drugged induced oblivion.)
By the way, I must tell you, you have inspired me to crochet. I spied your other site, and decided I would give it a try. I'm not up to actually knitting, but I'm LOVING the crocheting.
Thanks.
And, thanks for all your unending love and support. You totally rock.

Hey Zee? I hope your pain is gone soon. And that the yarn and books are there even faster so you have something to do in the meantime. :) Also, I bump into your comments frequently while visiting all of the blogs that I visit around this big www and I just have to say, I'm glad you're out here. Smooches to you, sweetie. You are a friend to all. Gentle hugs, beautiful.
Oh sweetie. Breathing = good. Horrendous pain = bad. I hope you're feeling better soon!
Hi Zee...nice meeting you. I can't imagine such a terrible back spasm, but luckily you were in the right spot at such a wrong momoent. Yikes, I hate to think of the alternative. Thanks for visitng me...we can never have too many virtual (or otherwise) friends! :)
