70 Days

Yes, it's been 70 days since my fall. I thought I would be much better by now, but nothing is ever that simple with me. I guess part of the problem was the doctor I was seeing. He wasn't aggressive enough with his treatment. I found he was always so unsure about what he was doing. And to top it off, he was an asshole. But that's a story for another day. I now have another doctor that was very quick to see and solve the problem. He listened to what I had to say and immediately went into action. It only took the new doctor 5 minutes to diagnose me with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. 5 minutes! He then called another doctor to discuss my condition and within minutes I was whisked away to another office for treatment. There were some ups and downs with my medication. I was told that if these medications didn't work I would have to get injections in my spine to block the nerves in my foot. My fingers are crossed that I won't have to do that. But I think things are finally starting to improve. I started physical therapy and that seems to be helping. It hurts like hell, but I know it has to be done. Hopefully I will be off of the crutches soon and able to start driving again. It's been so hard to get around. I have to depend on friends and family to drive me to and from appointments and work. I know it must be such a pain in the ass, but they are doing so without complaint. I will be forever grateful for their time and kindness. It's during times like these that you know who you can really count on. I'm thankful that I have these people in my life. You know who you are. Thanks! :0)

A Difference of Opinion

My hubby and I got into a heated discussion today about something his friend is doing. Or more to the point, not doing. His friend is not attending his daughter's dance recital because he wants to stay home and watch the World Cup. I think that is such a selfish thing to do. Just DVR the game and go support your daughter. My husband thinks otherwise. J thinks his friend has a right to have a life of his own and not have to attend all of his daughter's activities. This blows my mind! As a parent, you should put your child first. Celebrate and support them in all of there special moments. You can't get those days back. My husband thinks that children need to learn disappointment and not be coddled all the time.

This, my friends, is why we don't have kids.

One Hell of a Mood

Music can sometimes convey everything I feel or want to say. It plays with my emotions and can lift me up or bring me down. Lately, I've taken on this black cloud that just wont go away. Many days I want to shout from the rooftop everything that is dancing on the tip of my tongue. I know it wont solve my problems, but it would make me feel bloody fantastic to do so.

Anyway, in order to maintain my self inflicted gag order, I've taken to cranking this song up; relishing in the way it makes me feel. I'll post the lyrics, but if you want to hear it, you will have to look it up.

"Eyes on Fire" by: Blue Foundation

I'll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won't survive
And I'm not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

I'm taking it slow
Feeding my flame
Shuffling the cards of your game
And just in time
In the right place
Suddenly I will play my ace

I won't soothe your pain
I won't ease your strain
You'll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain

Eyes on fire
Your spine is ablaze
Felling any foe with my gaze

And just in time
In the right place
Steadily emerging with grace

Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace

I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!

I have to be the biggest klutz ever. Why am I always tripping over things (or nothing) and falling over? I can't count the times I fell down the stairs. I hate stairs! Well, thanks to those fickin stairs I sprained my ankle and broke a bone in my foot. Prefect, right? Ugh! What an inconvenience. I can't drive for God knows how long. Depending on people to get from point A to point B is hella annoying. And I'm sure they feel the same way. Crutches! I loathe crutches. They will be the death of me yet.
So, it's been 10 days since the accident. Things are improving a bit. I find out next Wednesday if there is nerve damage. Yippee! Nerve damage! Fun, fun! In the mean time, I am relying on my new best friend, Lortab, to make it through the night. Without it, I would be a complete mess. It's hard enough hobble through work all day. If I couldn't relax and be pain free at night I don't know what I would do.

Okay, enough whining.

Freebee 5

Lainey from LanieyGossip.com has her version of this. It's a list of the 5 celebrities you could "be with", if you ever got the chance, and it wouldn't be considered cheating. You know, your fantasy one night stand. Now, part of the Freebee 5 is that this has to be a hit and run. No relationship. No strings. Easy enough, right? Wrong! It's hard. Very hard. My 5 change every hour, on the hour. I could never be like Ross from Friends. He laminated his Freebee 5 only to have Isabella Rossellini walk into Central Perk. Unfortunately, she didn't make his final list and that made her off limits.
So, let's see who would make my Freebee 5 list right now. Definitely Herny Cavill. He is my new obsession. Then there's Alexander Skarsgard and Jon Hamm. As for the final 2, I'm having trouble narrowing it down. Maybe Mark Salling. And David Beckham (if he keeps his mouth shut). I don't know! Ugh, it's so hard! If you don't believe me, you should try it. Who would your Freebee 5 be?

Happy, Happy!!

It's the last day of my mini-holiday and I'm not ready to go back to work. It's been a great last couple of days even though I didn't do much. J and I spent some time walking around in New Orleans, just taking the in sights and sounds of the city. I miss living there. I think we will eventually move back. We also spent some time with our Godchildren and that's always fun. We are up to 5 Godchildren. 5!! I wish we could see them more, but time and distance doesn't always allow it. Today we are bringing the Prince and Princess bowling. It's boys against the girls. Team Spiderman vs Team Hello Kitty. It should be an adventure. Prince J said the winner will get a trophy. I said the winner will get a hug. He wasn't happy with my suggestion. We will see what will happen.
On another note, J starts his "new" job tomorrow. Yay!! We are very excited about that. He will be home before 4:30 everyday. That beats getting home at 7:30, huh? I'm happy because now I will have a little help in the cooking department. He can start dinner while I'm at work. I like that idea. A lot! So, help me send good vibes to my hubby. I want him to be happy and successful in his new venture.
Cheers!
