sick to death of being down and out.....
Ok, since the 6th I've been down in my back and in oodles of pain. The week before that I was down with pneumonia and have never felt so poisoned in all my life. It's what I imagine being snakebit is like. The littlest things we take for granted when we are well have been giving me fits! For example, I have dropped more stuff since I hurt my back. I can't (or SHOULDN'T) get ALL the way down to the floor without pain. Sometimes I just leave stuff there. Of course when it's something I need, I have to go for it. I have made some modifications. Like I've set my dog's food bowl up on a box and put the dog and cat food up in a cabinet. My job has been great - moving in a couch and recliner in my office for me. My clients are getting a kick out of talking to me while I'm laying down or leaning. One day, I thought I would work on my computer a while (not standing up like I am now, which I can only do for about 15 minutes tops) so I needed to angle the recliner away from facing the couch to facing the computer. Yep, you guessed it, I did it myself, and regretted it later. Today, I came in to EXPRESSLY work on the computer and my schedule because I didn't have clients scheduled because I have to go back to the orthopedic surgeon this afternoon. I discovered I'm not connected to the network, internet, or SQUAT, and the only schedule I can bring up (Microsoft Office Spreadsheet) is MARCH - no April. That's the one I caught up the day I moved the recliner and ended up regretting it! It seems like one thing after another after another after another. GRRRRRRR! I'm trying to wean off med.s some. Sunday I didn't take anything until the afternoon. Yesterday, I was sore and stiff, I think from the ride up to Little ROck (2 hours in the backseat) for my MRI. I get the results today. Well, I hear the computer guy is now in my office, so I'm going to go. Thanks to all of you who continue to send hugs and encouragement. I can't tell you how much it's meant to me.....
