Raven is so frickn hungry it's making me dizzy. Okay maybe the dizziness is also because of the pain in my head and face!
Ugh....
When the doc did the injections lastweek he told me to be sure to keep up with the TheraBite, not to stop because this is the critical time to keep using it. Okay fine, the day after the injections I was back down to 4mm. I wasn't disappointed just expecting it considering how much it hurt last week.
I was diligent about using the TheraBit over the weekend, maybe too diligent for yesterday I got up to TWELVE milimeters!!!!! The most I've been able to do since I started using the blasted thing. But today, maybe I pushed it too much. Because OMG.It.Hurts.
Traumeel is Raven's best friend. A nice long nap with a cold pack followed by the heating pad would be Raven's next bestest friend but that's not going to happen. It makes it hard to think when my head hurts so much. I have PT tomorrow and then I get to answer the phone when I get back. Joy.
So now I'm wondering, like my massage therapist tells me - and I agree - there should be a degree of "Good pain" to push past limits that hold us back. So do I keep the TheraBit at 12mm and deal with the pain or back it down to a more less painful measurement.
I was also reading on MSN news about foods high in protien, which is what I need to help with the facial muscles and of course aside from meats - grass feed meats rather than corn feed - a lot of dairy products were mentioned. Nice. BUT! Greek style yogert was mentioned, now when I visited dear Hubby the yogert didn't bother me, not like the yogerts here in the states, so the question is, where do I find Greek style yogert. I know!!!! Dear Hubby should bring her loving Wifey some! *nods* This sounds like the perfect plan.

Aunty:
I have sever facial pain because of TMD and neck issues and I'm currently going through treatment to try and ease the pain. But sometimes nothing I do ever helps.

LOL! Mine owne Pirate Cheering team! *claps!*
I just wish I could find some form of protein that you know, actually tastes good. :\
pssst! My fav is ground turkey browned off, add a cup of your favorite salsa, cooked until heated through and almost dry again...sprinkle with parmaesan cheese and eat. I usually have some apple slices on the side.
Kate:
You know I don't think I've ever tried ground turkey, turkey to me is usually so dry and I've this *thing* about the smell of anything chicken and turkey is just another big chicken. >.>;
But I'll try it! Don't know about the parmaesan cheese tho. Maybe a tiny bit couldn't hurt.
