Today's Journal 

8:50 am - Life Labs. Appointment for bloodwork. I'll get the results on Friday the 13th. I hope that's not an unlucky day for me. 

My back pain is nearly unbearable. 

7:15 pm - Dr. Ogala. Urgent Care appointment with family doctor. I need to find out what's going on with my back. This is the most intense pain I have ever experienced in my back. Last Saturday I thought it was getting better. I wasn't too bad that day but since then it's gotten worse and worse. If I've bend forward I cannot even touch my knees let alone come anywhere near my feet. Getting dressed is excruciating. And I literally cannot pick up anything off the floor or get things out of the lower shelves of the fridge or cupboards. 

I've tried the exercises and heat and cold and everything they suggest, but it's not getting better. 

Tomorrow I have to take Dennis to see our family doctor and I'll have to push him in the wheelchair and it's going to be so hard for me to get the wheelchair in and out of the car. I think that might be the thing that originally triggered my sciatica. 

I can lift something straight up but to put it in the car I have to lean forward and stretch out my arms and the pain is excruciating. Argh. 

I don't have time for this. 🫤 I'm hoping he will send me for a scan.
