05/01/2020 - I didn't realize that I had not posted for the whole month of April.  Arizona is on lock down so Aunt Ada and I have been staying at home.  I did make several trips to Robyn's house with boxes that will stay in Arizona.  I went to CVS once for Aleve and the grocery store twice to buy one item each time.  Otherwise, I have been staying in with Aunt Ada.  We did make a quick trip to a friend's of Aunt Ada and got 4 puzzles so we had something to keep us occupied.  She put them on a chair in the garage and I went to pick them up.  I did get a mask from my niece to wear when out.

 I have been fighting terrible right thigh and knee pain for about two months.  I have done everything I could think to do but only got relief from the pain when sitting.  I first put ice on it but did not take the pain away.  Then I started to use a heating pad which seemed to help us.  I could not get comfortable in bed so have been trying to sleep on the couch but that would only give me a couple of hours.  Last night I finally gave up and ended on the recliner and got 3 hours of sleep.  It seems when I am almost sitting up I get more relief. 

Today, I gave up and went to urgent care.  After explaining all of my symptoms she decided it had to be sciatica because she thinks the nerve is very inflammed.  S he gave me some exercises to do, epsom salt bath, and gave me a steriods to start tomorrow.  Hopefully, I will finally get some relief.  I am so tired of the pain.
