The pain management search isn't going terribly well; the pain management center at Rose apparently only provides pain meds for people with cancer; no prescriptions for any other type of pain. Not only that, but my clinic should have known that before sending me there. I'm going to contact the University of Colorado Spine Center and see if they can get me in. They've been on a couple of news programs, so it could take a while.
In the meantime, Doug and I will be going in to my "regular doctor" on Thursday morning to let our displeasure be known.
Alyria is doinig reasonably well academically; that was half an hour in the powerchair. Then I sat for over an hour discovering the clinic I'd been sent to couldn't help my pain. Doug had to lift me out of the chair after that session; my back was spasmed too tightly to stand up.
I did go to the gym Saturday -- passed today because of the degree of spasm. I worked out for 25 minutes, and that was a bit much; I got stuck on the toilet when I got home. However, after a few hours of rest, I was OK to move around in the house and go to the potty by myself again. Wednesday I'll plan to work out for 15 minutes and see how that goes.
