It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year. This time last year I was getting ready to go to Tennessee for my second set of treatments for MLT. I had stayed 2 weeks. In addition to medication management and SCS,  I generally had a lumbar sympathetic pain block each year for 16 years. Last year it was replaced by MLT this year it’ll have to be me for me. 

Finally getting over the flu. I had the flu shot in November, but the lady at the pharmacy said many different strains are out and about. Resumed my normal routines 2 days ago. During the worse of it, I still did some daily, not all. I don’t think I would have ended up in a flare. I am thankful that a couple of flares a years whether or not accompanied by a depressive episode is so much better than the constistant several, long in duration, and painful ones that came with too many years. 

My daughter gifted me an espresso maker for Christmas. Today is the first day I used it. Ozra gave me a new Samsung Galaxy S6 cell phone. I got it  on the 20th but was so sick I didn’t even play with it. My husband gave me slipper boots, a blow dryer and a curling wand. Not that I need curls, my own are quite nice, but now I can change them up. 🙂

Playing a lot of Words with Friends (scrabble) mostly with my husband which is a good thing. For me it helps my mind recall words, be with him differently, and have fun at the same time. 

I’m blogging via my Kindle until my laptop is functional again. Hand and finger therapy.

Stronger Than Pain INC is moving along and we look forward to 2018. 

Today is laundry, espresso, words and music. 
Back to Church in the morning. 

I wish you all a better, comforting, uplifting,

And Happy New New Year.
