God comes first in my life, although I am not as faithful as He. My family is #2. We do everything together, and love each other very much. I love my husband more than the day I married him.

I am a christian, SAHM of two children who are 12 months apart. I have a severe injury, and am in a lot of pain. I need a space to talk, vent, and find support during this season of my life. My family means the world to me, and I am happy to be able to log my many blessings.

So, the other major issue in our lives is my pain. I fell while I was 7 months pregnant (and huge) with my pudgy 10 month old son that I was holding. I broke the fall on my butt, as not to hurt either of my babies. Well, that little fall has caused me about 4 years of pain. I have 2 herniated discs, which are touching the SI nerve. And I also have spondy..which is when the nerve roots are pretty much squeezed. I have had great treatment until now. Well, I guess the best treatment I could have gotten. I have had about 17 sets of injections in my lower back, and my nerves burnt 5x. Even in CA without insurance, I still had a doctor to provide me with my medication. At the risk of sounding like a junkie...I'll tell you why the meds are so important to me. Everyday I wake up, and can not get out of bed due to the pain. I can't make my kids breakfast, play with them, clean my house, or even move most of the time. I have tried about 8 different kinds of pain meds...non-narcotic, narcotic, morphine, etc. There is only one that works. When I have it, i have to sit on the couch for about 40 min. in the morning, then I am normal. I can cook, clean, run errands, take my kids to the park. Still all of that is with a little pain, but I can enjoy my life. So, since I moved here, I have had no medicine. I went to an emergency care doctor who gave me some meds that are a quarter of what I was taking a day, which was not much help...it barley got me up off the couch. I went to a pain specialist, who told me he would not refill my meds, b/c people sell it on the street. I know that..my last pain dr, I had to sign a release that I would not do that. Anyway, this was the hope I had, to be able to care for my family again. I waited from 12/5 to 1/29 for another doctor to tell me no. Without insurance, I have no hope of going to any other specialist. I have been given the go ahead for surgery. A titianium implant. Don't get me wrong about the meds...I would give ANYTHING to have the very painful surgery for the chance of being in less pain, and not having to take these drugs, but until then, I want to enjoy my life. I want to play with my kids. I don't want to just yell at them all day. It's like someone just constantly pricking you with a needle for 4 years. The pain is bad, but the main thing is that it is all the time..it NEVER lets up. I don't sleep, I can't walk, and I have gotten really fat. Anyway, so it's sad that I can't get my meds. I really pray God would open a door for me to have this surgery. Very few doctors in the US do it, but my surgeon in CA thought b/c of how young I am, it would be the best option. Until then, I pray someone would have mercy on me, and give me my meds, so I can enjoy my life again. The one thing I am most thankful for during all this is my husband. He has stepped up, and done all my duties. Maybe this is why God hasn't given him a job yet, so he could help me. He has taken care of the kids, cleaned, and cooked. He has done dishes, and helped me around the house. He has ran me hot baths, and hooked me up to my muscle stim unit. He has been great!!!! I thank God for him, and his kind heart. The thing is, he is usually not that willing to do house stuff. Well, i guess it's just that I have stayed home since we had kids, and he's used to being taken care of, but I am very proud of him for stepping up. Today is his 3rd day on the serious job hunt...I pray something breaks. I also pray God would take the pain, and give me a good attitude to day-even with the pain.. We plan on decorating for Valentines day today. We love to do crafts. My daughter got heart beads for Christmas, and we will string them all over. Also, we will make these hearts with crayon shavings, and wax paper..they should turn out beautiful (or at least they did in the magazine) If they turn out nice, maybe I'll post a pic. We will try to make the best of today together as a family.
