[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 317896, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Susie, I'm glad that J is sharing her feelings - willing to talk to you. Not surprised that the pain is bringing back significant memories. Please consider/remember that, in many ways, this is like treating a difficult child. The wondering, waiting what is next? So try to pace yourself. Unless something major happens overnight you have 2 weeks to wait. You will be a wreck if you don't find a way to relax & find alone time. Unless you want J to become "crippled" by this she has to start learning basic fatigue/pain management. Deep breathing during the worst of the pain, simple meditation, manage her movements (i.e. gather all that needs to go to her room & make one trip versus several). If she can tolerate a walk & it doesn't worsen her pain that should happen. Basic stretches under warm water during her shower. However, unless told otherwise my MD the no pain, no gain mantra is out. I'm sharing what I'm learning to manage my fatigue/pain to a lesser extent for J. Susie, if I'm off base in sharing this with you please forgive me. I'm learning a great deal in PT & Occupational Therapist (OT) about pain/fatigue management. Given J's level of pain I'd thought I'd share some more age appropriate things with you. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
