pain free!!!!!

So I have big news........
  • Wednesday I made it through the day with NO PAIN.  That means NO PAINKILLERS and NO IBUPROFEN!!!!  These are huge steps.
  • I was able to SIT (on a sofa and recliner, with my legs propped up...but it is a milestone)
  • I was able to sleep on my side!
While all of these things seem minor, they are all things that I have not been experiencing for the past 3 weeks.  This is a huge deal for me and it brings joy to my heart.  I was so excited to announce to my dad that I had no pain all day (yes some discomfort, but NO PAIN).

I head back to the doctor's office later today and am anticipating encouraging news.  There are still certain things looming that will be challenges to overcome, but for today I am going to focus on the positive milestones accomplished.
