Sciatica is a pain in my....

...rear, butt, legs, you name it. Yikes! Funny thing about pain - you never understand what it is until you experience it. Like childbirth and kidney stones, which I have also had the dubious honor to experience, sciatica pain is indescribable and excrutiating. Oh, joy! I'm going through my second month of constant agony and fear of stabbing agony and hoping that is is over soon.

Isn't this an old person's ailment? Does this mean I'm old? It sure makes me feel old. I am now very familiar with the "while I'm down on my knees picking this up, what else can I do while I'm down here" syndrome that I remember my grandmother using. I guess that is fair, since I do have a granddaughter and another on the way, but PLEASE...I'm only 46!!!

Listening to preschool TV and Nintendo while I'm nursing arthritis and spinal pain...what kind of old folks home is this?? lol I am SO looking forward to a nice quiet life at Leisure World retirement home after this....sigh.....
