Apologies for no Blogging
Dear readers,
I am sorry I didn't get anything up for you today. It was raining outside and I think that is why my back pain came roaring back today. I pretty much had to stay in the easy chair and keep it stretched out.
I will see that orthopedist in a few weeks; hopefully he'll do something to fix this. I have suffered excruciating pain for weeks now and physical therapy isn't helping much.
I've been taking Advil i n addition to another NSAID - something I'm not supposed to be taking but what can you do? Tylenol is worthless for anything other than a mild tension headache.
So I've been wasting the hours in my chair. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day; I have PT tomorrow afternoon after all.
Thank you for your patience.

You may want to try your local dispensary for some edibles with low THC and high CBD. It wont cure you but may make the pain more bearable.

Camino del Rio South, about three blocks from my house, is "cannabis row." There are about six dispensaries in line, some posing as pain clinics. My favorite is "Wellgreen's Dispensary."

Mike and Bill thanks for the heads-up. In fact Missouri just passed a recreational marijuana law legalizing it and there are places all over where it can be obtained. I might try it; Cathy's brother gave her some when she was sick and she never used it. I might go home to look for that.
We've had crazy weather here - it is just 64* after a big rain yesterday, and that is quite abnormal for mid June in Missouri. I think the weather is the problem.
At any rate I woke up in the wee hours in great pain and had to get up to take some meds. Got back to sleep and slept to 11 a.m. - about twelve hours from when I went to bed. I suppose I'm not sleeping al that well and needed it.
OH wel; anyway thanks for the idea. I hadn't thought of that.
I have a Facebook friend in Australia who uses medical marijuana for his back, which is always bad. Since he's in Australia he can't get proper medical treatment and has to dope up. He hates it; his mind is always clouded. But it's better than the pain.
Thanks for your concern guys!

Martha gets her medical Maryjane (with no THC) from Level Select. She gets the liquid drops which she takes with an eyedropper, and a roll-on version.
