So I'm always getting onto my sister about her lack of blog postings and she tells me that I'm funny I should start my own blog (we will see how many others share her sentiment). I have no husband/significant other and no kids right now my life is work so you may hear about some of the crazy things that go on at my place of work.
My biggest hurdle right now is my herniated disc and degenerative disc disease. Back in 2005 I was diagnosed with these issues and have tried everything to rid myself of the pain to no avail ie physical therapy, narcotics, chiropractor, acupuncture and my personal favorite massages (these are very expensive and actually make it worse but I still love them). I have been able to deal with the pain up until January 31st it was icy and I slipped multiple times (for those that know me, no I didn't fall). Just so everyone knows I talk about hating the snow because in OK ice always comes along with it, I don't mind driving on it my issue is walking on it I am scared to death that I am going to fall (falling is what caused my disc to tear in the first place). Anyway, since that time I have had unrelenting, chronic back pain. After my mothers multiple suggestions/demands I finally agreed to see her back surgeon again (same guy I saw in 05). Went for my MRI over a week ago and yesterday I had my follow up for my "treatment plan" I find that kind of entertaining and that is why it is in quotations as you will soon understand. Drum roll please......you need to lose 75 lbs (mind you I am actually working on this and have lost 15 already). I reminded him of this and he said oh yeah you have lost 2 lbs since I saw you 2 weeks ago (what does he want from me). Last time I checked, losing weight includes not only diet but exercise and I can't move!!! I tried to explain this to him and the waterworks came (I am already very uncomfortable around him) he said you need to swim do you have access to a pool and I wanted to say Dr. will remain nameless I'm sorry I don't have an indoor pool in my backyard do you mind if I come over everyday to use yours?? He tells me to go to the Y (in the GHETTO) not doing it, sorry!!!! So a week from Tuesday he is going to give me a steroid injection and I'm praying that it will give me some relief.
Thank you guys so much for reading/listening and please come back for more!!! Keep me in your prayers (as my sis already knows) chronic pain causes major depression and has caused me to be very mean, at this point I am unable to control my anger (I usually have a minor filter right now I have none, what I'm thinking comes right out of my mouth). So I guess I should apologize to you all in advance!!! Below is a pic of me in my "happy place".
