This morning we went for a follow up with our family physician.. Well, Chris's physician. I was not able to get in to see mine today, but they are at the same clinic, so it at least get's info in to them.
Also, when I woke up this morning I had a HUGE bruise on my left pelvis... I had been having alot of pain in my pevis area yesterday, so I suppose it shouldn't have been a huge surprise, but I still go back in awe at the lack of physical damage to the car and yet the continuation of physical pains on us.

The Dr. was amazed to see we were not in neck braces with the obvious neck strain we are both having. He checked Chris out first and fully documented everything. Chris was put on an anti inflamatory/muscle relaxant type deal and advised to continue with the increased morphine, and to wear a soft collar whenever possible.

When it came to me, the bruise was discussed.. The scary part for me, is with my tanning, my tummy gets very dark, yet you can still see quite a bruise, it makes me wonder how bad it actually is if it were showing on my normally pale complexion. I had begun having pain while urinating this morning so the Dr checked me out and noted sever tenderness through the lower left abdomen (Not a huge surprise with my chronic pain there anyways) and down into my pelvis and hip bone. I did a urine test, something that was not ordered in ER. I was kind of panicked to find out there is blood in my urine. This is a normal stres target for me as it is typically a sign of my Cancer, or cancer implications. I am trying the keep my head level that I have just been fully scanned in April and so this cannot be related, but like they say, once diagnosed with cancer, it's the first place your head goes when anything goes wrong. The Dr feels it is likely a result in some degree to the impact. I also have a bacterial infection somewhere in my body as well as I showed bacteria in my sample.. I am thinking likely unrelated, but the Dr. Didn't comment on that. I, too was prescribed a collar, the anti inflamatory/muscle relaxers as well as Percoset. Getting percoset at our Clinic is as good as asking for a million dollar check. I have been in severe pain on many occasions and they do NOT condone opiates, so I am rather taken aback by the decision and would like to see the Dr's notes to try and get his written indication as to what he is thinking here. He made us promise to come back Monday regardless of our condition, and told me I am off work at very least until Wednesday, to be reassesed by my own physician on Monday. I feel horrible having only just gone back and am doing everything I can to get back, but have a feeling for once, I can't push my body on this one.

I am having sporadic spasming between my shoulder blades and alternating under each shoulder. If I lift my arm above shoulder height, my hand goes numb, I think I must have something pinched. I am hoping to make enough progress over the weekend to check into some massage therapy when I see the Dr. on Monday. In the meantime, I am having to space my meds according to the kids and where I need to get them. I have no option but to drive and it is a difficult combination of two pairs of eyes and the best shoulder checks we can handle.. I know this is so unsafe, but I love that something like this can happen and leave you completely unable to function, yet you have no choice.

Boo has dance photos all weekend, so will be trying to work through that the best I can.

Trin and Boo go to the Dr. tomorrow as Boo has complained of headaches and neck aches since the accident and Trin keeps saying her chest hurts. which I assume is from the car seat straps.

I will write more when I can. Sitting is very difficult.
