It pops up occassionally, like about three days ago. But it shows up sporadically, and only for a day or so, we have just learned to deal with it and accept it as a normal part of life. They never found what was wrong with her. She has actually been able to go several months in a row without having one, but it flares up from time to time. Its just one of those things that not a big deal any more, if she has an episode, we deal. She has her cane and walker to help her during the really bad parts, and still needs to get a cortisone shot in her neck for the bulging disks and bone spurs, but she would rather deal with the pain then take a needle in the neck, much like me!
All in all, its just become part of life that rarely crosses my mind as a burden anymore, just part of our life, funny how things settle in, even when they are so traumatic and intrusive in your life.
Thank you B, as you grow in your marriage, you begin to feel what they feel. Luckily, not the actual pain, or there would be less children born! But she is feeling better already. Yesterday, she couldn't sleep, but right now, she is snoring like a baby, either from getting better or from the Darvacet, either way, sleep is good when sick.
