The pain isn't life altering...Thanks, Nakesha. The pain isn't life altering, only bothersome. Which is why I am on the fence about it. I also do the online grocery shopping! I find that I buy less impulse items, and I am able to track my spending before I checkout. Not to mention, it saves a TON of time. So very thankful for options such as this that technology provides us.

Everything is not for everybody, and just like this class it at your pace, and not allow the fact that there are more choices distract you from the right choices. For example, technology has worked to my advantage by providing a personal shopper for the grocery store, amongst other stores. However, the grocery store has thousands of options, which is too much for my wallet, but if I place the order in advance and pick it up, I will avoid all extra costly options. So options should only be utilized by only the expense that we allow them. <br />As for your back surgery, you should not waste another day contemplating, do the research figure out what works for you and what doesn't. Living in pain is not only unsafe for you mentally and physically, but it not fair to your family and friends. Physical always eventually disrupts you mentally in the short or long run and sometimes unconsciously, which can lead to having no one wanting to be around a grumpy person in pain. My apologies if I got too deep, but pain effects everyone not just you. #getsomehelpAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18180898865247690424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432832965657953047.post-34825737720643413802016-07-25T17:17:44.279-07:002016-07-25T17:17:44.279-07:00Hi Lauri, interesting thoughts on patient autonomy...Hi Lauri, interesting thoughts on patient autonomy. I currently work in health care and the change to including the patient in the decision-making process is widely touted as a great one. Providers would run into so much trouble (aka lawsuits) when the patient wasn't the one ultimately calling the shots, as long as they are able. It is good for me to see an alternate perspective on that--thank you for sharing!<br />I certainly know that my husband gets what he and I call "decision fatigue," where he literally can't stand to make one more decision at the end of the day. Dinner? "Whatever you want. Seriously. Don't make me decide."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050105697865657375noreply@blogger.com
