Six weeks on and I can now drive, so have got my Princess back part time, have started going to back to uni part time, and regaining independence like being able to make my bed, do my laundry, cook, go for walks, clean my teeth, wash my hair, brush my hair, get dressed and be less consumed and overwhelmed by how much it hurts.

| Pain ravaged face - first time out on my own! |
Sleeping still hurts badly, I don't sleep well, there is no comfortable position, and I can't read in bed anymore as I can't lie on my back, the pain makes me want to throw up. Same with sitting, have to have padding behind me, and can't wear a bra, tried on Friday, it was like an iron bar around my back!
5 more months and I should be completely healed....
I just read this back, sounds a bit self indulgent! Sorry... I normally like to be upbeat on my blog... oh well...

Oh I missed the post where you shared your fall....I so feel for you,I prolapsed 2 discs in my back and had bleeding in the spine with a 8 month old baby.I must say unless you have had back injury you really cannot truly 'appreciate" the sheer agony. My thoughts are with you,Take time and recover well xo
I didnt realize youd hurt your back too
I had my accident nearly 2 months ago putting the sciatica Ive had and managed for a year through the roof after I fell over when my ankle gave way turns out I have herniated disk
this weekend I started walking again outside in the sun
Billy is accompanying me just in case and I use my walking stick
Im still on pain meds too
getting better during the day
at the mo its nearly 8pm and my ankle is aching badly
my thoughts and prayers are with you
Rachael, Oh dear, sounds like you're having a rough go of it- but at least you're on the mend. Take good care- thinking of you.
Oh no! So sorry to read about your terrible pain...glad to hear it is getting better. I too, missed your last post so I will go back and read more.
Adding you to my prayer list too! Get well soon.
Oh dear Rachael... I had no idea!!!! Glad you're on the mend, big hugs and prayers are sent your way!

Thank you for your opinion. you don't have to visit my blog if it upsets you so.... I will continue to talk about whatever I choose... as it is just that, my blog. It doesn't matter to me if people leave me comments or not...or who visits me or how many times they visit me...what does matter to me is that they don't harass me and annoy me, just because they can. If it means I have to block certain people in order to have peace then so be it, I'm just being REAL :)
