What a Way to Start off PAM

In pain.

September is Pain Awareness Month. And what am I doing on the first day to celebrate? Going to the Pain Clinic for my regular monthly appointment. That makes sense, huh?

I am in pain right now … but as I usually say … it’s worth it. This past weekend, we went to Atlanta. My organizational-savvy daughter planned a family get-together which included getting together with her family from Nashville and my husband’s two older sons (and a girlfriend), a Braves game (the best ending ever), good dinner, and lots of fun. The best part for me was holding grandson Brady on my lap while he napped during the game.

Why, oh why, does holding a baby or walking or standing, etc. have to hurt so much? It’s frustrating. And now I am still recuperating. But before I finish recuperating, I’m off to set up Pain Awareness Month displays at several area libraries.

I fight pain by taking action! Will you join me in this month’s Virtual March? Go to www.APFActionNetwork.org.
