Muscle Madness

I haven't wanted to post this because I was so tired of always complaining about one thing or another being wrong. About a week and a half ago, I woke up with my stomach muscle on my right side hurting. I thought, now what did I do to pull a muscle in my ribcage? We've all had this before I'm sure.

Well, as the days went on, it became harder to take a deep breath because it hurt so much. The sore muscle feeling then went all the way up to my shoulder. A few days ago, I woke up with the same pulled muscle feeling on my left side. It made it almost impossible to take anything more than shallow breaths. What is going on? Why is my muscular system so compromised? I know I didn't lift anything to have "pulled" muscles. Both sides now hurt pretty intensely.

The last few days my back has really hurt me. This could be because I wore heels to the wedding???

Tonight it is impossible to even lay in bed. It hurts to sit up with pillows on my back. It hurts to lay on the right side, the left side or flat on my back. I've been trying to breathe deeper breaths because they will have me do that in the hospital for my lungs after surgery, but it hurts so much. It's impossible to get the breath to blow my nose.

The most unique part of all of this is the strong pain medicine that I am on 24-7 doesn't touch the pain.

I finally decided to get out of bed because it's just too painful to lay down to sleep. I have a headache but that's just from stress. I actually took my temperature because I feel hot. Normal, thank God. If it  wasn't, the surgery would be postponed.

I got the stye in my eye back too! Luckily that happened the day after the wedding. I am a piece of art work for sure!

I don't understand why both of my rib cages hurt so badly. I don't understand why my breathing is affected. Most of all, I don't understand why I have to have one more thing to make me not feel well. What is going on?

Sharon -

I am thinking of you! I don't understand either why you are being challenged in so many ways - I wish I did know. In a few hours, you'll be at the hospital in the hands of a wonderful surgeon, one whose hands you can rest easily in. He, with God's guidance, is going to give you your CANCER-FREE life back, and with your sheer will and determination, you will be back at your "home" at 311 Catoctin Circle in no time. Thinking about you and praying for peace of mind and body -

I don't know why it's all happening, Sharon. It makes no sense and it doesn't seem fair at all. You are about to see the doctor who brought you hope and reassurance so long ago. Make sure he knows about what's going on. You are in the hands of a great doctor. Remember... You are ready for this!

Thinking about you,
Rosemary

Oh Sharon, I am so sorry and confused that you continue to have all these painful challenges in your life. But you will be under the care of a great doctor whom I know you trust. Prayers coming 24-7. Caroljean
