I got some pretty awesome news yesterday when I went in for Physical Therapy, good news is not something I'm used to so I was pretty excited.
I started going to physical therapy several months ago to combat some shooting pains in my legs and arms and the constant pain and ache I was feeling in my legs and hips. My doctor prescribed PT for me after looking at my MRI and x ray results and finding that I have 2 bulging discs and 2 deteriorated discs that were the cause of most of my pain. I started going twice a week and then moved to once a week and yesterday they said they want me to start coming in every 10 days. Yay! I'm excited that they feel like I'm getting better, and while I'm definitely not 100% I can tell the pain is lessening and feels different. When the therapist screened me yesterday she said I was in good shape, that's the first time that happened so far. I am excited to think that I could really be getting better and dealing with the pain.
I miscarried in 2007 in my 2nd trimester and have dealt with medical/emotional issues since then, trying to move past the problems and the pain. Every day is a chance to find a silver lining and a positive outlook on my now changed life. There is a 7% chance I can conceive, and that is only if my health changes dramatically soon. I would'nt have thought about children at this time in my life had it not been taken from me.
A little background info....
I have been dealing with medical issues regarding my reproduction capability for the last three and a half years after a very bad miscarriage situation. As I was working through a difficult period one day I realized that more and more people and characters around me seem to be dealing with similar circumstances. TV shows, movies, neighbors and friends are struggling because they cannot or may not have children. This is a place to express my feelings about my situation and hopefully help someone else express theirs.
I may not know what other mothers know, but I am a mother without my child and I do what I can to cope.

WOOHOO!!! I know how the shooting pain feels and I'm so glad it's improving. I'll keep my prayers going!
