WEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

So, 0300 I'm awakened by severe pain in my L leg. Overthe next couple of hrs it gets worse no matter what all the yrs of being a Burn Nurse AND a Chronic Pain patient taught me. 10 on a scale from 1-10 and that with my normal twice a day MS-COntin. Finally, I noticed that it was also cold to the touch. I decided to go to the ER just in case it was a clot(High BP, Cholesterol and Diabetes?!). Well, the Good News is that it wasn't a clot and by the time I left the pain was down to a 6. The Bad was that my ruptured disk was pinching my Sciatic Nerve...which makes be now an official Old Man. Ah haz the SEE-atikka!
A shot of Chorisone in my spine, a shot of Morphine in my IV and now home.
WORST MONDAY EVER;>!!!!!!
Cheers,
Pat
