It happened to be like this....

Dearest friends, the last blog was one written one month back, when I had time. And I don’t think I will be blogging for a while. I can’t sit and type, is the main reason. 4 yrs back, on 27 Sep, 2003, I had a chronic disc injury, on my left side. My mobility was less than 30% then. Actually I was in terrible pain for 1 week even before that, but my parents didn’t think that it was that serious. They thought that it was just a sprain. When neighbors came to my house hearing my screams , they took me to an orthopedic surgeon who told them that I had my 5^th and 6 th discs completely injured with repetitive minor injuries, which might have started years before...he could actually see the bulge even through my skin.

Now, after 4 years, 5 doctors, 2 spinal injections, I haven’t done much better. But now, I have adapted myself. But there are at times, when work (office and home) demands more, my mind races faster than my body’s pace and push it so hard that it finally revolts. My inflammation gets worse, when I sit, when my upper body weight presses against the injured discs. That’s when the inflammation doesn’t even get a chance to cure.

In my last 2 offices, I used to lie down after every hr of sitting. Here I haven’t told any one about it. So, I use lumbar support belt, (which may cripple me, in the long run).

I have to reduce time sitting and standing and spend more time, lying down in a flat surface, in order not to make things worse. I can blog later, but if I ignore this cry of my discs, then from experience I know that it will cost me a lot.

So, until I can sit and type and read without ‘much’ pain….

a short good -bye…..

praying that it will be only for a short time…

Love you lotsssss,

Swathi

latest: on bed rest for 1 week.
