My pain has continued, and even worsened a little. Had to have help getting in bed the other night as my leg kept giving out on me. It wasn't a sharp, shooting pain, just enough to take my breath away! Finished up the Prednisone six pack, and went to the Physician's Assistant yesterday. She gave me a cortisone injection in the area that was causing so much pain. It has taken the edge off the pain, but not resolved it. She said it was the head of that 7 cm screw in my pelvis that is causing the problem. They can go in and surgically remove the head of the screw. But I don't want to pursue that at this time. Want to give the injection a chance. So I'm doing ice packs, Ativan for the muscle spasms, and once again, taking it easy. It hurts so bad I can't even cry, but I sure want to cuss worse than a sailor! (Give me a week, I may be calling to schedule that procedure)
As far as toenails, I can trim them, but they end up being a little crooked. So most of the time I ask my hubbie for help, when he is cutting his. It feels weird having someone else do it, but considering I used to bite my tonails (over 30 years ago), I guess I can get used to this!
Have a great Thanksgiving Day, and remember, one day at a time!
