Spring Already?

I’ve been too silent lately. A new blog like mine should be doing everything to get out there, especially writing blog posts. When I think of what stops me from becoming that prolific writer I’ve always wanted to be, it often comes back to the fact I can’t get myself to just start. I’m also often overwhelmed by where to start. ADHD at its finest.

I have high hopes for this blog but they can only go as high as I am able to lift. I have every intention of addressing the latest 2016 CDC Opioid Guidelines update that has claimed to loosen the restrictions on opioid limits. Of course there’s more too it and a lot to be said on it’s impact. I will have a post on that as soon as possible.

In a couple of weeks I will have surgery, hopefully my post will be ready by then. It’s foot surgery, so I’ll be having a lot of time to sit, and think, and write. Let us hope. I think I also may start looking for a co-author to help keep the content coming.

Another hope I have for this site is a potential email and phone campaign to change laws now in place in many states as a result of the original CDC Guidelines. I’ve also considered including the media in this campaign. That will take a lot more work, but it is something I really hope to accomplish. My biggest frustration is how ignored this plight is. If we can do something to bring awareness and potentially even change laws, we must try.

Undoubtedly, I have a vision I wash to pull off that is constantly pushed aside by my own illnesses. Sometimes I can pull through and get it done and sometimes I can’t. Please bear with me as I find this blog’s footing and help with the content.

The Reality of Chronic Pain…

…is that I cannot write as much as I want. I have a post in the works but it’s taking longer than expected. In the meantime, I just wanted you to know I’m still here. I hate that chronic pain makes it difficult to be a consistent blog writer, but I’m still determined to try.
