Sunday morning
I woke up in pain
because I lay down to sleep
last night.
I know better then to lay down to sleep because everything I lay on
causes my back to hurt. I doesn't seem to matter whether it is a
mattress, a couch, or a love-seat about halfway through the night I wake
up with excruciating lower back pain. Last night or rather early this
morning (about 12:30 or 1:00 am) the pain woke me up and I could hardly
pull myself off of my love-seat because of it. I finally managed to sit
up and then put my feet up on a large plastic storage container I keep
in front of the love-seat. Because of the pain it took me a while to go
back to sleep.
As I recite
the short healing prayer
revealed by Baha'u'llah
the pain subsides
in incremental amounts.
The last time I saw my doctor, I didn't have her renew the prescription
for the pain medication. It's not that I don't need it, it's just that I
don't like the idea of becoming addicted and the side-effects of the
medication. I will see my doctor sometime in June so I'll ask her about
over-the-counter meds. Then I'll discuss the pros and cons to see which
is best for me. She may want me to go to a specialist before she
prescribes or suggests any type of pain relievers.
