Doctor here I come!
Today I had to get up extra early to go to my physical therapy appt. These people are a lot better than the place I had gone to before and everyone there is really nice and they seem to really care about the patients there. I am now at work but only for a couple [...]
Back to work
Finally am back at work today after a week off of recovery. The shock of the alarm ringing this morning was huge as I have been sleeping until 11 most days that I have been off. It was really hard to drag my ass out of bed this morning. After driving in, I had to [...]
Ho hum
What a boring an lonely nite. I have no one here and no one to talk to. I hate evenings like this. I am waiting for the bbq to heat up so I can grill some burgers for dinner and I have a coffee cake in the oven. I am all domestic, yet no fine [...]
Sunday
Went to Sams Club to get some needed items. It was hard walking around with the pain in my back and found myself using the cart as a crutch to hold myself up. The rest of this day will be spent resting as I have to go back to work tomorrow and I know it [...]
Going postal
The post office is not a good place to go if it hurts to stand up for very long. I think those bastards went extra slow today to torture me! Scored some good records yesterday from Dr. Strange, it realy made my day! I just posted a handful of stuff on ebay to make some [...]
Ugh!!
Got at best, 1 hour of sleep last nite, I couldn’t find any position that did not hurt my back and it kept me up all nite long. I have therapy in about an hour and I am hoping they can work some magic on my so I get a bit of releif. Ended up [...]
There’s always someone there to let you down
Nothing like taking my half-crippled ass upstairs to shave and shower and clean up in anticipation of having someone come over to watch a movie with me, only to have her call and say she can not show up. Par for the course for me and I knew all day that this would happen but [...]
Physical Therapy
Just got back from my Physical Therapy appointment. This was at a different place than I have been to before. These people were very friendly and seemed much more thorough than the place I went to before. Between this and the next two shots, I have a positive feeling that the combination should help me [...]
The mend continues
Day 3 of the healing and my headache of yesterday finally went away. I feel much more “normal” at least as far as that goes, but of course the back is a bit more sore than yesterday though. I start physical therapy today too. I guess I’ll be driving myself as Dina didnt’ call me [...]
On the Mend
Didnt’ get much sleep last nite and have had a monster headache today and felt kind of queasy too despite the pain meds. Perhaps it was the pain meds not agreeing with my cereal for breakfast today that made me queasy but at least I didn’t throw up. Just been laying around most of the [...]
Post Shot Update
So I got the cortisone shot today. It wasn’t so bad, I hope the thing works. The doctor numbed up by back with a novocaine type shot first, which pinched but wasn’t so bad (after all, nothing could hurt much worse than my back), and before I knew it she told me she was done, [...]
Ouch!
This morning I woke up to go to a record convention. My back was bothering me so bad that I was limping real bad and had trouble walking. I can not wait until tomorrow to get that first shot as nervous as I am. I pray that this works, I don’t know how much more [...]
Another boring day
Ended up getting Boston Market for dinner last nite, I hadn’t eaten there in so long I figured I would give it another chance. It wasn’t too bad. Watched my JFK DVD that I bought about a month ago and didn’t open until last nite. I forgot just how long that movie was as I [...]
What to do?
It is friday nite and I am about to leave work and go home. Trouble is, I don’t have anything to do once I get there. I called the loaf to see if he wanted to go out to potbellys with me for dinner but he just got done eating some shitty burger king. Who [...]
Friday Five
1. Where were you born? Chicago, IL at St. Lukes Hospital, which I point out to everyone in the car with me when we drive to the city. 2. If you still live there, where would you rather move to? If you don’t live there, do you want to move back? Why or why not? [...]
The Verdict
Just got back from the doctor. I have to get my first cortisone shot on monday. I have to find someone to drive me and that sucks because I don’t have any girlfriend or family here. I don’t know what I am gonna do. They also tell me I will have to miss 2 days [...]
The Forces of Evil Conspire Against Me
So I am at work and I’m getting ready to bid on a record that I want on ebay. 10 minutes to go, all of a sudden, BAM, our internet goes down. It is down for the duration of the auction and I miss out on stealth bidding on it, therefore CHEATING ME OUT OF [...]
Kitchen – Stage 2
In case anyone cares, I took some quick pix of the new floor and they can be seen here.
Semi-retirement
So yesterday was our pinball league finals. To quote a mental woman I once knew, it was very “stressfull and overwhelming”. I ended up finishing fourth, which was fine by me. I finished better than last year and was content with that especially considering how much my playing has sucked lately and how much discomfort [...]
Friday!
So last nite I went up to Season Tix with Koz to play the new pinball machine again. I decided that was the last money of mine it is ever going to get. I don’t appreciate being raped by a game with outlanes set up like that. It just wasn’t fair. The head designer flipped [...]
Insert clever title here
So last nite I came home from work to the shock of how good my new floor was starting to look. What a huge difference from what was there before. They should have it all done today so I can resume a somewhat normal existence albeit still 2 weeks away from having countertops or a [...]
Thursday
Went to season tickets last nite to check out the new game. It was pretty fun, but I was getting my ass kicked by it. Right before we got there, the designers decided they thought not enough balls go out the right outlane, so they removed one of the posts, which just turned it into [...]
Lunch Time
Sitting at my desk eating lunch, which consits of a can of ravioli, applesauce and a rice krispy treat. I’m scouring the net looking for some records so i can get my “fix”. Ebay sucks, where do all these bastards get all this money to pay such stupid prices for stuff? They are cheating me [...]
