Things could always be worse

  • Dec. 4th, 2008 at 10:03 AM

So I saw a headline this morning saying Presaton Mine shut down.  I thought gee I hope that is not my co-workers husbands mine......it was. And her father and her brother, all laid off yesterday! Marry Christmas geez!

Makes me feel a bit better about my STILL leaking toilet.
And I finally after much pain went to see the doctor about all the shoulder pain I am having. Which is now 10 times worse since they poked and proded. 
It used to be bad by the end of the week, but I would feel better after the weekend and repeat.
It did not go away over this past weekend, and seems to be getting noticeably worse each day. sooooo

just to make things dififcult they have to do an X-ray first so the insurance will pay for the MRI. I didn't need an X-ray it is not skeletal.  They think the canal that the nerves in the shoulder run down is swollen, and pinching the nerves, possibly doing damage to them. Same as what happened to my hand. Which I eventually had surgery on to correct. I suppose I must be a fragile little flower, at least on the right side anyhow.  And Insurance will not pay for the pain meds my doctor prescribed b/c they are too expensive. damn y'all seriously messed up! So rest, and tethering my arm to my body is the best they can give me right now. heat then cold, heat then cold, lord help me Joes gonna have to brush my hair for me...poor boy.

But as I said......it could always be worse.

Had a great weekend! Thank you Steve :)
Went pontoon boating and tubing.  Shared a great belly dance class with my sis in law, and roasted weenies over the fire.  Spent great time with great friends!
And, anyone else on the planet after having gone 15 miles off corse would be pissed off and fumming.  Our Annie instead finds a Blessing and a sweet jar of honey....we love our Annie :)
Sunday morning dawned, and my son and I went out to the site to say goodbye.  My wonderful son wants to go to the Geocache near the campsite.  I know my limitations, I Love nature, but I love my nature manicured! A trail a path, a beach. So I say no, I will wait here.  To which I get noooo come on it's right there.  And they point to the porta johns in the distance.  they say it is only 200 feet in that direction.  OK, OK fine I can suck up 200 feet.  We head off past the porta johns.....way past the porta johns.  And just as I decide to open my mouth to complain, Karma reaches down and gives me something to complain about.
She bitch slapped me hard.  I fell between two logs and fell full force onto my back across the log behind me. After I got my wind back and determined that I was in fact able to move my legs still, I hear Kelly over me saying "come on get up it's OK" Thank God for Kelly or I would still be in the woods crying like a little child for my lazyboy.  Yup, I was that one.  The one in the group who is the whiney baby......I'm OK with this......truly sorry for it, but OK with this.  So we did infact find the Geocache and signed the book.  
I went home and soothed my back with Vodka and Painkillers.  I think I bruised or cracked a rib on the right side.  But All in all I am glad I did it, it reminded me of my personal limitations.  And we should all have a clear sense of them so we don't end up like me the one whiney bitch in the back making things miserable for others.  Thanks guys for putting up with me, you are true friends :)
