@sunnyflower Sunny. Thank you for the pep talk. Two days of really bad pain that I really did very little around the house. The pain makes me cry despite the ice and TENS. Happy hippo was a lifesaver today with my new sciatica shaped ice pack. I have to ration the real pain pills so I don’t run out or build a tolerance. I’m going to lie back down for the night. My husband took Murphy with him to visit the farm area he and his friends are building. Used to be for paintball now for gardening. We have an exhausted Doberman now who is getting his pain pills. Why is it ok to give our beloved pets whatever they need so they’re not in pain but not humans? You are so right, fighting for my sanity.
