Hi!
Maggi here!
Today SHOULD have been a god day. It's my son's 16th birthday.
It was spoiled, however, by the fact that I am in such pain I can't think straight.
I have spondylolothesis and cannot escape from the constant, grinding pain that affects not only my lower back, but my left leg and foot.
I can't walk more than a few yards, I can't sleep.
I go to the hospital next Tuesday, to have an MRI and to speak with a surgeon.
I don't want the operation, because having spoken to people who've had it, the risks seem to outweigh the benefits.
I'm truly at my wits end.
My life is bound by the pain and my family are fed up of my limitations and seeing me creep round the house in a state of cowed acceptance of the pain.
Would that I had a choice!
Sorry to whinge, but I really don't feel able to cope anymore.
