Here’s how our appointment with Pain Management went

Lizze and I met with Pain Management at the Cleveland Clinic yesterday. The objective of this appointment was to find ways to help Lizze manage her dibilating chronic pain. Lizze is living with Fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos and daily migraines. As anyone dealing with chronic pain will likely tell you, it's exhausting, and it has a profoundly negative impact on your life. Lizze's pain impacts every single aspect of her life and has since 2004, when she was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Our reason for seeing pain management was to help her better manage her pain and maybe, get some of her life back in the process. There was a great deal of discussion that occurred during the appointment and her new doctor is really cool. I liked him but most importantly,…

The appointments went well and we just arrived home

Lizze and I just got home. We've been gone for about 10 hours in total. It's been a really, really, really long day. The boys are currently on the their way home and once their settled in, I'm going to likely go walking. Lizze's appointments went very well and we're still sorta digesting what we learned in pain management. I'll work on a summary of both the pain management appointment and what happened at school in regards to Emmett. I'm pretty sure we've resolved that issue but time will tell. Right now, I'm just tired. I don't really want to go walking but that's all the more reason for me to go. I'm on course to finish my monthly goal almost 10 days early. That's awesome. ☺ Anyway, my plan…

Hello Pain Management at the @ClevelandClinic

After a quick lunch, we've made our way to Pain Management. It was about a 35 minute drive from the main campus. We realized that we been to this location before. It was many years ago when Gavin was little. This is where he saw his first Cleveland Clinic Neurologist for his movement disorder. It's been a long time but it brought back some memories of the very early days in Gavin's health journey. Anyway, we're actually a bit early but she's checked in and filling out the questionnaire. They said she might be able to get in early. ☺ Lizze and I have come up with a list of questions, so we can maximize the time we have here today. I saw someone asked in the comments on the…

There’s so much riding on today

Thankfully, Emmett's in a good mood this morning because we finally understand why he's been so frustrated with school and no longer wants to go. Hopefully, we'll get some answers this morning and can put his fears to rest. I'll explain more when I can. He's not being bullied or anything like that. This has to do with what appears to be a classroom policy. After that, the biggest thing we have going today is one of Lizze's appointments at the Cleveland Clinic. One of her appointments today is very important, while the other is a routine follow-up. Lizze is going into the pain management program at the Cleveland Clinic. We're heading to the amazing @ClevelandClinic today in order to find relief for my wife, who's living with chronic pain.…
