I guess that it is about time that I give an update about where I am with my back and this vacation. The new anti-inflamitory meds are starting to really do the trick. When they start to wear off I am a little bit sore. Still I am feeling more confident. I believe now that I will be able to make it though a shift of work. Or as luck will have it a week of work. Now the thing that I am most worried about for work is getting through all of the e-mail that I can't clean up now because my password has expired so I can't clean it up from home.

Marshfield was alright. There was lots of sleeping being had going both ways. When we were at my Aunt's there was good food and conversation to be had. Also much foolery with my young second-cousins. The youngest was supprisingly light yet heavy enough to make me sore after playing for a few hours.

Now it is time to figure out what is going to be going on for the rest of the weekend. I think I am more mobile as long as I stay on the meds. I think we have lunch plans with an old co-worker of mine at Kindo. After that who knows.

Well off to snack and take meds and start the day.

I am crippled.
As to say that I woke up and tried to move.
Found myself in crippeling pain.
It took me an hour from bed to couch.
Stopover in potty.
Had to crawl.
Ten + minutes trying to get out of bed.
Is it possiblile to hurt so much you can't cry?
Gathered food in a bag from the kitchen.
Dragged it the couch.
Faught to get up and lay down.
Haven't moved since then.
The laptop was just next to me so thankfully I could grab it.
Got a call from Andy.
Stock it up over 7%.
Some sold today for me.
There is a point that was set by a major bank at about 47.
This is the ray of hope today.
Waiting for a call from the Dr.
Now that I am not moving.
I think I could cry easially.
Maybe I should.

Current Mood: shitty

Feeling kinda bummed. My back is feeling the same and now the anti-inflamitory stuff is tapering off. I have a lot of issues with getting an MRI now that I have had time to think about it. One of the problems is that I would assume that I will need to take out all of the things filling my ears. Some of it will not be easy to get out without going to a piercer.

I have been on this couch too much lately. Really quite depressing. A week after my vacation has started very little of my plans have even been started. I am not looking forward to a car trip later next week. I am not sure with how much I will be able to take.

Bored and sore.

Also I am cranky today. Yesterday I was feeling much better but now I am really sore again.

I feel trapped here.

Over at Margret's with Dave. We are like that of old men. Both aching and struggleing to move. I hear that as of right now I have been diagnosed with a slipped disk. If it is bad on Tuesday I am going in for an MRI. Deja Vu? Fucking blows my mind.

I am stuck on the couch laying on a heating pad that keeps getting unplugged. When it stays plugged I altranate it from hot to medium. I don't think that it is doing much for me. Need to take more meds soon. About every half an hour I think that it fucking figures. I am not pissed just more cynical bummed. I have never felt as close to tears after gettin' lovin' before. Talk about a huge bummer. I kept bugging the Dr and now I have an appt this afternoon at 2:45. I am going to try to time it so I jump in the shower and then rest then go. I am worried about being in the office waiting. The chairs there are not too comfy when I am witing with some other sort of ailment. I think I need to go in and just have a physical when I am healthy. Afterwards I am going to go visit Dave. Who I hear is walking around the house without a cane. I just updated my Wireless Access point so it should be more reliable. Hopefully we will see him posting. :)

So I was going to go to RF last night after we got our info for the morgage stuff. Which my score leaves something to be desired. But my mobility could be a lot better. Will see if I can contact a wonder Dr of the TC that my mother knows. I wasn't able to acomplish as much as I wanted to yetsterday because the ability to lift has more or less left me for the time being. Well compile times on this 200Mhz CPU is also killing me.

Today should be more rest for a bit. Hopefully I will start feeling a bit better so I can run some errends.

It is a real bummer that people are going to be at Luigi's tonight. Sonja and I have a morgage class to go to so hopefully I will make it out there later.

Top Prioritys:
Rebuild web/e-mail server.
Prepare wireless for Mags house.
Clean to have Derek over for GTA:SA.
Nap.
Class.
RF.

So I guess that I should recount the whole of my yesterday. Well at least give it a bit of an overview.

Work still sucks. I am not in a depressed mode as much anymore. I am looking positive for the things that are going to end up happening this next year outside of work. I am very excited and ready to go. It will be good to have the change. I am very positive about it.

Went to my Dr after work. Got out about on time and showed up twenty minutes early for the appt. In a way I always feel a bit unfufilled after these. Then again we are going to start me on Strattera. I think that it is the great new ADHD/ADD wonder drug. A sideeffect is that I might not eat as much. Which is alright because I think that I can stand to loose a good 20. Also it has the effect that it can raise blood pressure. So I am going to have to keep a close eye on that. Also I should get Sonja to check my pulse from time to time to make sure that it is not speeding up too much. Maybe this is the next chapter for my ADD? Not really sure but it is something different and I am ready to try it. I have to ramp up to the proper perscription dosage and then we will see where things are at. Fun stuff really. A long time since I have taken a capsule. Makes me think of DBZ. . .

Spank it, Spank it, Spank it to a porno picture. . .
(Just came to mind)

After the Dr appt I headed down to see Dave at the UofM Hoptital. When I got in asside from the construction that is going on to form the new fireplace I thought that it was really nice. Found his floor ok and made my way to his room. When I got there he had just gotten back from some tests. The nurses were busy so it seemed that he sat in the wheelchair for a while until his nurse was freed up to help him out. Chatted with Margret for a while when we were waiting to get into his room to see him. Had a good chat for a while until he took a nap. Then I went off to lunch with Margret. After which I ended up getting a Milkshake from B&J.; It was tasty though just a bit runny. It was good to go down and see Dave. From what I can tell it seems that he is taking things in stride and that is comforting. I will attest to the fact that his blood pressure dropped when some people left his room. While I was there his lunch was delivered. It smelled great. I don't remember being in a hostipal when the food has smelled so good. A good sign that the proper care is going on. Things seemed a bit rushed. I believe that the hospital could benifit from some sort of scheduler. Something where they can better orginize when people have had tests and events. You know so they can schedule time inbetween things so that they can rest. Or maybe chaing things together a bit better. Like time PT for when he gets back to the room and needs to be up and about anyways. Make it part of the PT stuff just getting to the bed. But those are just my thoughts. It was good to see him though.

Was reading Sonja's post about how we should go out and at the very least get a new matress. After how sore the muscles in my back are tonight I am thinking that it is a better idea. Though I really don't want to have to add another big thing when in a few months we are planning on moving. So I am torn on what to do.

Speaking of moving. I have the temptation to start packing up things that we haven't been using much lately. That way it will be easier to deal with things later on. While talking to Margret earlier I expressed the favor of one house over the others. I hope that we can work something out to get that one. I really liked it. So I am excited to do the Morgage class on Monday to see what will happen. After that I feel that it is open season. Sonja is going to pick out a couple more houses to hit this weekend and I am looking forward to seeing what they have to offer.

I need a nap.

GTA:SA is a worthy cause. The soundtrack is great and the fact that there are so few pauses in transitions is amazing. I stole a plane and few around the whole map a couple of times and there was no hesitation on the PS2's part. Though I did hesitate when a fighter started coming after me. I like the fact that I have my pilot's lic now.

All my thoughts go out to dave. Should be maybe two hours in now. I have a few ideas to bounce off of him when some e-bay stuff finishes.

Got lunch over in RF with rjrbytes. I hope that there is not another Act of GOD after eating at a restraunt like there was yesterday. I got sweaty forehead as I pulled into a gas station. Needless to say the Uptown Diner is not on my repeat eat list.

I liked the second house that we looked at. In a way you could think that part of my thoughts are that we would have the gathering house of the west. The two at the top of the lists would be great gathering houses.
