- Pain I am used to - it has been 19 years now, though it has only been horrible pain for the last few years. VA and government delays and paperwork I am used to... they have processes that rarely have speed up buttons. ... but this has gotten...
- today I have to go to a 3 hour workshop on how to get a job. It is an hour drive away - which will put me in agony. Then sitting in chairs not made to support my broken back will be agony. Worse than that, it will be a room full of people I don't...
- I have a mandatory work source workshop today. We leave in an hour to get there. Hubby keeps telling me I got this. I am trying to fake it until I make it. I am not quite recovered from the weekend. Now I get to be in a car for an hour drive to get...
- This last week has been so weird. I have not had a break from college in three years - even my summers have been filled with college. I have been working towards this degree for five years now. Now that it is over it is time to fully shift gears....
- Last week I got a letter that my Psych Doc of the last six or so years got a promotion and I would need a new primary care Psych doc. Today was my first meeting with the new doc. I am of mixed feelings on this matter. On one hand, he did not scare...
- So, just to keep life interesting, my system is throwing weird things at me again. I guess my life has not been challenging enough?It started two days ago and has been steadily getting stronger. It only happens when I am lying down... So since I try...
- So I saw a commercial for this unit last week and I picked one up today. I haven't had tens since I was active duty almost 20 years ago. I know then it was great relief on my knees. Not wanting to try something that was going to be major time bad, I...
- Yesterday was my day to do too much. I knew I was doing too much and I knew I would be down for several days because of it. I was actually up and moving for 5 hours, counting the 30 minutes getting driven to the horse stable and the 30 minutes back...
- I am having an odd day. Nothing has gone to plan. It has not gone bad, just different. Hubby has just gotten up from a nap and is doing dishes in prep for making dinner. Most of the day I have been in enough pain that I have had full body shakes -...
- but my body said NO. Hubby is taking a nap and I thought I would go take pics of the utility trailer we are going to be using as partial trade tomorrow for an RV - to make sure it is a go before I tear the house apart looking for the pink slip. But...
- ... I might be posting in the wrong place too. I don't know if this is pain or PTSD or some combination - but I have not been this ill in years... not since my radiation therapy for my cancer almost two years ago. Yesterday morning I had my 2nd...
- Any day spent at the VA is a long day. Though is it only about 35 or 40 miles away, we have to drive though downtown Seattle to get there. What that means is on a great day, it takes just under an hour. I have had days that it has taken me four...
- Now I have been getting my VA meds in the mail for the last decade. Up until some time last year, anything that was a controlled substance required a signature. I needed to sign for my opiates, but not for my thyroid replacement hormones. I was good...
- I went to acupuncture yesterday. I love acupuncture. I walked out of the apt with no pain for the first time in six years... since the last time I was able to get acupuncture. By the time we drove an hour and a half home from the VA hospital, I was...
- Monday my hubby got an automated phone call from the VA while he was half asleep. It was a reminder of an apt at 8am. As it was automated, he could not get it to repeat and when he called to verify they would not let him as he is not me. So we got...
