Unfortunately, no beads to offer you this week. As I mentioned in an earlier entry, I had to concentrate on making three beads for my life coach/acupuncturist in preparation for my appointment tomorrow, and that was difficult enough with the back pain. I only managed to make one yesterday, but finished the other two today.
I'm hoping there may be a little good news on the back pain situation. I started using the Norspan patch on Wednesday, and although I'm nowhere near pain free, I do feel marginally better. At least I'm managing to sleep a little more soundly. I'm actually hoping that it isn't the patch that's making the difference and that maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to slowly recover. You wear the patch for a week, so I'm thinking on Wednesday, when it's time to change to the new patch, I may wait a few days and see if things have improved.
The only downside to the patch is this insane itchiness I started to develop this afternoon. I've had the patch on for 5 days now with no side effects, well, other than a very mild nagging headache, but this afternoon I started to develop this roving itchiness which is driving me a little batty. It's not localised to the area where I'm wearing the patch (ie. my left arm), but seems to occur anywhere - from the top of my head, to my face, my neck, my arms, etc, etc. However, I guess it's a small price to pay for a little relief from the back and leg pain.
So, maybe next weekend I may be able to concentrate on some beads for you folks. I'm really trying very hard to stay positive. In the meantime, have a great week, and I'll see you again soon.
