Logical Decision

I have been making some hard decisions recently and I thought I should share them here.

Background Points

  • Unknown cause of the pain
  • No solution available to prevent the pain
  • No ability to reduce or control the pain

Reasonable Solution

Given the above points and the increasing level of pain, the only reasonable solution is for me to stop the pain myself.

I'm giving physiotherapy another two months because that is the last bit of hope I have left.  After six months with no reduction in pain, and actually an increase in pain I may be a little bit optimistic but I need to give it a try.  I have faith in my physio.

I have also been referred to a pain clinic to help with the pain.  I need to give that a shot before I take any final actions.

With the increasing level of pain, I can only take so much more before I break. I've been close to breaking before but this may be it.

I will be writing about my attempts to be pain free. Until I am.

Still Going

My Wonderful Doctor I feel sorry for my doctor because there isn't anything more that she can do for me.  We have now tried all the medications available and we are trying one more. I hope that she will know that I appreciate everything she had done for me once I'm gone.  I hope I can find a way to letter know in my letter to her. All Pain, No Gain There is plenty of pain, but I'm not seeing the up side. There must be an upside to this pain and I'm talking something other than making me a stronger person.  If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger... well this damn pain is going to kill.  Where is the gain in that?

A Clear Path

I have had plenty of time to think about this and I now have a clear path. When I'm satisfied that I've tried everything to fix my back, stop the pain, or even find a way to reduce the pain from time to time and still don't have an answer then I'll stop the pain. Taking my own life will be the only option.  I have a few options left and I'm still looking for new things to try.  But I'm almost out of energy. Physio gets a couple more months, I have a pain management clinic to visit and then unless I find something new I'll have to start working on my goodbye letters. Over the next few months I'll start working on who gets a letter and what I need and want to say.  I should write a letter for when the kids get older Something like 2027 should work.
